Temporary protection for Ukrainians in the Czech Republic: for how long can you leave the country
It is noted that Ukrainian students who have temporary protection status in the Czech Republic risk losing this status if they choose to study in another country as part of an exchange program.
The Czech Ministry of the Interior reported that this decision is due to the need to obtain a residence permit in another country for more than 90 days. This, in turn, may lead to the revocation of temporary protection in the Czech Republic. However, short-term departures of up to 90 days leave the status of temporary protection unchanged.

It is emphasized that in other countries, the duration of a study or work permit usually exceeds 90 days, and it is recommended to consult with the embassy of the chosen country before leaving.
The Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic emphasizes that temporary protection will not be canceled in case of prolonged absence from the country, but absence for more than 10 working days may affect the provision of social assistance, accommodation, educational services and health insurance.
In turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasizes that Ukrainians with temporary protection can travel to Ukraine, within the Schengen area, as well as to countries outside the Schengen area. However, it is important to keep in mind that having a protection status does not guarantee automatic entry to other countries.
