Situation in Ukraine

Situation in Ukraine and third country nationals
Ukraine nationals
The European Council agreed to extend the temporary protection for Ukraine nationals until 4 March 2025.
Third country nationals
For third-country nationals with a temporary Ukrainian residence permit the Raad van State (highest court) decided initially that their protection will end on 4 March 2024. The IND send a lot of return order decisions (terugkeerbesluiten). Currently there are many cases at national courts pending against these decisions.
The Raad van State therefore submitted preliminary questions to the European Court of Justice on 25 april 2024 about the moment at which the protection for third-country nationals may end.
On 22 october 2024 the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice issued an opinion and answered the questions that protection for Third Country nationals is allowed even if protection for Ukrainians continues.
The European Court of Justice confirmed on 19 December 2024 that the temporary protection may indeed end. The exact implications of this are not yet fully clear. The IND will take a position in each case, but also in general, as to whether and when individual protection will end. We should expect that the protection will end.
In many cases appeal procedures are already at court and will be resumed. From that moment we will also need to look at the individual circumstances to see whether there are other options for protection by applying for a residence permit. Asking asylum is always an option if this has not already been done. The chances of asylum generally are very small. We can discuss this together later.
Please only contact me once the IND has sent a letter in your case.
I was called to the bar on September 26th 2001, and have since been working as an immigration and asylum lawyer in the Netherlands. Starting 2011 I opened my own firm and starting 2020 this office is located in Apeldoorn.
My law firm focuses on multiple areas of law, but all in the field of asylum and immigration. I have worked for many years as an immigration lawyer and asylum lawyer and specialize in all the different facets of these areas of law. For instance, I have expertise in migration law, visa cases, MVV requests, law affecting non-native residents, refugee law and asylum law.

If you are in need of legal assistance feel free to contact me. Most contacts can simply be made via email or WhatsApp. I schedule most appointments via videocalling. If that is not possible for you, just let me know so we can plan a meeting in the office. On the contact page you can find more information about the best ways of contacting me.
I work both as a pro deo lawyer on government payment (toevoeging) or paid cases with a fixed fee. For more information on this topic visit prices and lawyers fee.
Making a free appointment or just a paid consultation at my office is unfortunately not possible. You can find more information about this in the page for prices and lawyers fee.
If you started an asylum or Dublin procedure and have not yet been assigned a lawyer you can always contact me by filling out the authorisation form so I can be assigned to your case. Don’t forget to send me an email or WhatsApp introducing yourself. If you have not asked for asylum yet, you can also contact me in advance. For more information about applying a new case click here.
For a careful assessment of your case, I often need a copy of the relevant files. Please only send official documents only by email.
Municipality (gemeente)
I do not handle appeal cases against the municipality. Even if this has to do with integration or something else related to migration.
It is best to contact the Juridisch loket for this or find a different office.
