Grounds for going abroad

Martial law conditions in Ukraine lead to the introduction of a number of restrictions on citizens to ensure security, avoid the leakage of critical resources and maintain control over important sectors of society. One of these restrictions is restriction of freedom of movement, in particular travel abroad. This is due to the need to control the potential risks associated with the displacement of citizens, the movement of a large number of people and possible threats to national security.

What are the legal grounds for going abroad under martial law?

Martial law creates complex conditions, and the departure of men under certain circumstances can be determined to be justified and legal. General circumstances that may be considered valid grounds for the departure of men during martial law include:

• Family obligations. Family Protection and Evacuation: If the husband is the primary breadwinner or is responsible for the safety of his family members, his departure may be justified for the purpose of protecting and evacuating the family to a safe place.
• Medical reasons. Treatment or family assistance: If the spouse has medical responsibilities or responsibilities to care for sick family members, his departure may be justified in order to provide necessary medical assistance.
• Professional obligations. Protection of critical infrastructure: If a man works in a field that is critical to the security and functioning of the country (eg, law enforcement officer, doctor, rescue worker, etc.), his departure may be justified to ensure the safety and support of essential services.
• Educational process in another country. If a man is studying abroad, he also has the right to leave.

But it is important to understand that in each case you need to get permission to travel abroad, which can be refused for a number of reasons. Therefore, all these reasons do not give a hundred percent guarantee of obtaining a permit issued by the TCC of the JV or other competent authorities.

• Limitation of rights and privileges. Citizens who attempt to leave abroad illegally may be subject to restrictions on their rights and privileges, such as restrictions on access to certain services, jobs or social benefits.
