Temporary Protection Directive

The Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) gives refugees from Ukraine the right to accommodation and medical care in the Netherlands. But also the right to education for children aged under 18 years. The TPD also provides for the opportunity to work. The Directive has been extended to 4 March 2026. Temporary protection will end when the directive expires, or sooner if the Council deems a safe return to Ukraine to be possible.
