An important temporary-protection condition
From August 5, 2026, Article 2 links the grant of temporary protection to compliance with military obligations in Ukraine and proof where applicable, without prejudice to EU law and fundamental rights.
The EU decision does not prescribe a single document list. Ask the country authority about the documents, proof format and translation requirements.
Article 2 does not apply to people who held temporary protection in a given EU Member State by August 4, 2026 and continuously retain that status in the same Member State after that date.

Decision of the Cypriot Council of Ministers: protection was extended automatically, no new application or biometric permit is needed. The extension notice is collected at the Asylum Service in Nicosia: bring your residence permit, passport, marriage certificate and children’s birth certificates (where applicable); all family members except minor children must come. The announcement was published in June 2026, before the EU decision on the period to 4 March 2028; how Cyprus will handle the period after 4 March 2027 has not been announced yet. First applications are filed only in person at the Asylum Service in Nicosia.
