Can I travel with the UKR status?
As a Ukrainian with the UKR status in Poland, it's important to know how to travel correctly and which rules to follow to cross the border smoothly. The UKR status, granted due to special legislation, provides certain advantages and facilitates travel for Ukrainians in Poland. However, before departure and return, it's crucial to follow a number of important steps and have up-to-date documents. The main document for such travels is the electronic document DIA.PL, which serves as confirmation of your status and allows you to cross the border without issues.
Key steps for traveling with UKR status
- Update the DIA application. The first step before departure is to ensure that your DIA app is updated. This update is important for the proper functioning of the document and to ensure your information is current in the Polish border systems.
- Check family data. Don't forget to check whether your family data in the app is up to date. If you have family members traveling with you, it's important that their data is correctly registered in the system.
- Prepare documents. To cross the border, you'll need a passport and the electronic DIA.PL document. Remember that without these documents, you won't be able to confirm your status when leaving Poland or upon return.
- Contact border guards. When leaving Poland, show DIA.PL and your passport. Border guards will enter your data into the system. This will allow you to quickly and smoothly confirm your status when entering and leaving the country.
- Confirm status upon return. Upon returning to Poland, contact the border service to confirm your status. They will check your documents and the validity of the data, ensuring smooth entry.
Risks and issues that may arise during travel
- Outdated data in DIA. If your DIA app is not updated or the information in your account is incorrect, it may cause problems at the border or delays during border control.
- Incorrect family information. If you haven't updated the family data, this may cause problems when crossing the border, especially if they have the UKR status and should be included in your application.
- Lack of necessary documents. If you forget your passport or the DIA.PL document, this may lead to refusal to cross the border or delays when returning.
