Collective protection status to be extended for one year

The Government has decided to continue providing temporary collective protection for refugees from Ukraine. As such, if you have already been granted a permit in connection with temporary collective protection then your permit will be extended by one year automatically.

You do not have to do anything else to extend your permit.
