People with a residence permit in places of hostilities or in the occupied territories have the right to leave. A list of communities in war zones can be viewed here.

The decision on permission to leave is taken directly at the border individually for each person.

Advice from carriers: more likely to cross the border on an internal passport if you go on an evacuation flight for refugees.

• If a person has already traveled abroad with an internal passport, it is necessary to have a foreign passport for the second time.
• If the passport has already expired or will expire in less than three months, you can’t cross the border.

If you have already left without a passport, what documents are needed to return?

• Entry into Ukraine is possible with any Ukrainian document: a foreign or internal passport, a birth certificate.
• A child born abroad must have a foreign passport or be transferred to a Ukrainian birth certificate, and information about child.
• To return to Ukraine without loss of temporary protection, when crossing the border, you must have a document confirming your temporary protection. But stay in Ukraine for no more than 1 month (the period may be different depending on the country in which you receive temporary protection).
