Many Ukrainians who obtained temporary protection in Estonia have expired their residence permits.
In December, the fewest Ukrainians arrived in Estonia in recent months, and the number of those who left the country turned out to be more than those who arrived, ERR reports.
If in October about 8,000 people from Ukraine came to Estonia because of the war, then in November – about 4,000, and in December – less than 3,500. Estonia than come to the country,” said Peter Maran, a spokesman for the border guards.
At the same time, many Ukrainians who obtained temporary protection in Estonia have expired their residence permits. Since they do not come to renew it, the relevant departments admit that these people have returned home to Ukraine or moved to another European country. Estonia does not want to automatically renew documents for the reasons that it would automatically mean the continuation of payments, which is not reasonable if the recipients are already outside Estonia.
Recall that Ukrainians traveling to Romania because of the war are planning to be granted the right to preferential travel in transport for the first 5 days after entering the country.
