The general period, the date on your document and a separate action deadline may differ. Each date needs its own source and conditions.

Hungary: protection conditions for those liable for military service

Hungary’s immigration authority (OIF) states that the conditions for recognition as a temporary-protection beneficiary (menedékes) in Hungary have not changed: Ukrainian citizens liable for military service can also receive temporary protection in Hungary under the rules known since 2022.

Before applying

When deciding a Hungarian application, the asylum authority checks whether the applicant has obtained protection in another EU Member State and, if so, rejects the Hungarian application.

A hazai menedékeskénti elismerés iránti kérelem elbírálásakor a menekültügyi hatóság vizsgálja, hogy más tagállamban szerzett-e védelmet a kérelmező, és amennyiben igen, úgy a magyarországi kérelmet elutasítja.

Do you need to act for your protection?

Hungary’s National Directorate-General for Aliens Policing (OIF) states that the residence documents of people fleeing the Russian–Ukrainian war whom Hungary has recognised as beneficiaries of temporary protection (menedékes) are valid until 4 March 2028 under Section 2 (4) of Government Decree 196/2025. (VII. 8.), regardless of the validity period physically shown on the document. This applies to every such document, whatever expiry date is printed on it.
