People fleeing war in Ukraine and arriving in Slovakia with granted temporary refuge status, most often inquire if they can lose their status, or what to do if they encounter a problem while crossing the border to another country to visit their homes or relatives.
This results from data of the IOM Migration Information Centre (MIC), which provides Ukrainian citizens as well as non-European Union (EU) nationals with remote legal, social and job counselling and referral to relevant services through both email and helplines.

Since the outbreak of the war, with the growing number of war-affected people forced to leave their home and arriving to Slovakia, the number of people who benefited from MIC free services and counselling has multiplied.
From 24 February 2022 to 1 August 2022, IOM provided information and legal counselling to more than 6,847 people alone, including Ukrainian refugees and non-EU nationals. To compare, a total of 7,572 people used MIC's consulting services in 2021.
IOM also regularly updates the IOM MIC website dedicated to the situation in Ukraine, where relevant legislative, administrative, and other information are presented, as well as relevant contacts shared here.
This online support is available in Ukrainian / Slovak / English / Russian language.
From 24 February 2022 to 2 August 2022, the MIC website was visited by 365,266 users.
