the denial of temporary protection and residence permit in the basis of being a third national resident in Ukraine

Question

so I left Ukraine 20 days ago , went from Hungary planning to go to Belgium, never had the ability to do so since my family stopped picking up and also germany has stopped us on the way there in the train , after a hefty process in the police station we have been asked to go to this immigration center in Munich in Maria and then after waiting for days we have been taken to a small town in the tegernsee area , after waiting 15 days in the said place we received a letter saying that we have been denied the temporary protection since we have safe countries of origin which is not true since i’m an atheist and lgbtq and i would be threatened if i go back , the decision was only from the immigration office in miesbach , can i apply in another place or i should stay here and appeal the decision ?

Dear @hamzabec,

Welcome to the Wefugees Communtiy and thank you for reaching out to us.

The regulations around the residence permit according to section 24 (Temporary Protection) of the German Residence Act are still very new and I am not very familiar yet with its implementation and especially how the immigration offices deal with third country nationals who were residing in Ukraine before. The Ministry of Interior was stating that people who i.e. studied in Ukraine and who are not able to return to their countries of origin (in a safe way) may be able to apply for the Temporary Protection as well. I afraid, though, that we can not solve your case here. Instead, I would highly recommend you to contact the Bavarian Refugee Council for individual and confidential support as soon as possible. You may call them (089 – 76 22 34) or write them an Email (kontakt@fluechtlingsrat-bayern.de) and explain what happened to you, exactly how you did here. You can also contact Pro Asyl via Phone (+49 (0)69 – 24 23 14 20) or mail (proasyl@proasyl.de).

In any case, please don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions or to keep us updated on your situation.

All the best,

Meike
