One-time temporary residence permit: Ukrainian citizens can obtain such a permit only once, with new grounds for refusal in case of false data or marriage entered to circumvent regulations.
Extended tax reliefs for donations to Ukraine: until end of 2026 instead of end of 2025.
Facilitations for Ukrainian doctors and nurses: new deadlines for applying for professional licenses and possibility to extend license during education.
Suspension of deadlines in international protection proceedings: until March 4, 2026, deadlines do not run and no penalties are imposed for delays.
