Switzerland will limit refugee protection for Ukrainians from seven western oblasts starting Nov. 1, 2025, due to improved stability.
Switzerland will restrict protection status for Ukrainian refugees from seven western oblasts—Volyn, Rivne, Lviv, Ternopil, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernivtsi—starting November 1, 2025, citing improved stability in those areas.
The change follows a parliamentary request to differentiate safe regions from conflict-affected zones.
Existing beneficiaries are unaffected, and protection status will remain valid until at least March 4, 2027.
Applications from the designated oblasts will be reviewed individually, with rejections potentially leading to expulsion, though exceptions apply if removal is unlawful or unacceptable.
Ukrainians no longer eligible for protection may seek asylum or relocate to another EU country.
The move aligns with broader European trends, including the EU’s recommendation to phase out temporary protection.
