Ukrainians in Turkey: Probable Scenarios Regarding their Legal Statuses

Abstract

Millions of people have been forcibly displaced after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some of them are now hosted in Turkey. The Turkish government has pursued an opendoor policy for Ukrainian nationals and announced that it will make their entry and stay of them in Turkey easier. This article analyses the probable legal statuses that Ukrainians can obtain in Turkey. International protection, temporary protection, residence permits, and the situation of people of Turkish descent are then examined respectively. Ukrainians can get refugee status and subsidiary protection provided that they meet the relevant criteria. If they do not wish to apply for international protection, they can avail themselves of residence permits. Short-term residence permit and particularly humanitarian residence permit seem to be the easiest options for most Ukrainians. People of Turkish descent from Ukraine, on the other hand, are subjected to a special regime.
