Foreigners and stateless persons who have exceeded their terms of stay in Ukraine during the quarantine period will not be held liable for this violation, Yuriy Lysiuk, the head of the border control for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, has said on July 4.
“If a foreigner or stateless person has exceeded the period of stay in Ukraine before the introduction of quarantine measures aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 on the territory of Ukraine, then such persons will be held liable for violating the terms of their stay when crossing the state border,” Lysiuk was quoted by the service as saying.
It is noted that, according to the current legislation, foreigners and stateless persons who could not leave Ukraine or were unable to contact the territorial bodies of the State Migration Service of Ukraine with an application to extend their stay in Ukraine or to exchange a residence permit in connection with the introduction of the quarantine, administrative liability does not apply if such violations occurred during or as a result of the quarantine.
These rules apply exclusively to foreigners and stateless persons who were legally in Ukraine at the beginning of quarantine.
