Switzerland Extended Protection Status for Ukrainian Refugees: Terms Announced.

The Swiss Government Extended Temporary Protection for Ukrainian Refugees

The Swiss government has extended temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 4, 2026, according to the Swiss government's press office. This decision concerns thousands of Ukrainian refugees who have found asylum in Switzerland.

The government stated that the security situation in Ukraine is unlikely to change in the near future, hence extending S protection status until 2026 is only appropriate in the event of unexpected changes. This decision will contribute to clarity regarding the migration situation for all parties and improve the social integration of Ukrainian refugees.

Furthermore, the Swiss authorities will allocate 3,000 Swiss francs per year for each Ukrainian to fund language courses and facilitate access to work and education.
