For everyone that might be en route or knows a stateless person that is on their way to Hungary an important piece of information from our friends at @Hungarian Helsinki Comitee:


The Hungarian Helsinki Committee provides legal information, assistance and representation to persons who are fleeing Ukraine and come to Hungary. You can find our recently published information leaflets about protection available in Hungary in four languages here.

 

Hungary currently offers temporary protection to all Ukrainian nationals and all those non-Ukrainians who were lawfully residing in Ukraine and had to leave because of the war. This may include stateless persons who were recognised as such under the recently established Ukrainian statelessness determination procedure, or other stateless persons who resided in Ukraine with a residence permit.

 

It does unfortunaltey not include those stateless people who were living in Ukraine undocumented. If such persons manage to enter Hungary, they cannot apply for refugee status either, due to the current asylum rules which block access to procedure. They would be pushed out to Serbia (!) in an extrajudicial procedure with no appeal possibilities. At the same time, they would be able to apply for stateless status, at least based on the letter of the law (the question remains what the actual practice of the authorities would be).
