Moldova has extended temporary protection for Ukrainians in the country. The protection period has been extended for another year. This was reported by the press service of the Moldovan government.

"The term for granting temporary protection to displaced persons from Ukraine will be extended for one more year, starting on March 1, 2024 and ending on March 1, 2025," the statement said.

At the same time, it is noted that the protection will be automatically extended, as well as the validity of the recipient's identity document.

Persons enjoying temporary protection in Moldova will have the right to work in the country without obtaining a temporary residence permit for employment purposes, provided that they are registered in the territorial unit of the National Employment Agency within the radius of which they live.

Currently, there are more than 116 thousand displaced persons from Ukraine in Moldova. Almost 39,000 of them have been pre-registered for temporary protection, and more than 30,000 have already received identity documents.
