Ukrainians in Germany: Protection Until March 2027 and Work
Temporary protection for people from Ukraine in the EU has been extended to 4 March 2027. Here is what it means for your work in Germany.
What applies now
The EU has extended temporary protection to 4 March 2027. The residence permit under §24 AufenthG is kept valid accordingly. With this status you may work in Germany; a separate employment permit from the foreigners authority is usually not needed.
What to keep ready
- a valid passport or substitute document;
- your residence permit or confirmation (Fiktionsbescheinigung);
- tax ID and social security number;
- proof of qualifications and previous work.
Finding work
Anyone who already has valid documents for Europe can start quickly. What matters is an official employment contract, social insurance registration and pay of at least the €13.90 minimum wage.
