Ireland: temporary-protection conditions from 5 August 2026

Irish Immigration Service (ISD): from 5 August 2026, temporary protection is granted only to applicants who can show they were authorised under Ukrainian law to leave Ukraine and provide acceptable evidence of that authorisation.

Before applying

An applicant who cannot provide sufficient evidence of being authorised under Ukrainian law to leave Ukraine may not be eligible for temporary protection. ISD does not specify which evidence is accepted.

Temporary protection in Ireland is not granted to people who have already been granted it in another EU country.

Family reunification applications continue to be considered under Article 15 of the Temporary Protection Directive and Irish law.

Exception

The changes do not affect those granted temporary protection before 5 August 2026; they do not need to provide additional evidence of authorisation to leave. ISD asks them to keep their registration requirements up to date; the Department will advise about any further action or renewal.

You are not required to provide additional evidence that you were authorised to leave Ukraine in accordance with Ukrainian law.
