Help with documents

After registration, Ukrainians with temporary protection status must obtain and keep several important documents. These documents give Ukrainians who fled the war in Ukraine the legal right to stay in Luxembourg. They also give them the right to work in Luxembourg, the right to travel within the EU, and the right to return to Ukraine for a short period of time with the possibility of returning to Luxembourg.
