Legal support during border crossing: Departure of men who are booked by enterprises
In connection with the state of war in Ukraine, the issue of men going abroad has become particularly relevant. The legislation provides for a certain temporary restriction on the right to travel outside of Ukraine, but also contains an exception for conscripts, reserved for enterprises. Let's consider the border crossing rules for such persons, the necessary documents and conditions for crossing the border with Poland.
Border crossing rules for men
The rules for crossing the border for men, especially during martial law, are defined by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 03.03.2022 No. 194 "Some issues of reservation of conscripts under the legal regime of martial law". Temporary restrictions on the right to leave Ukraine may be applied to men subject to mobilization. However, there are exceptions for certain categories of conscripts, in particular those who are reserved for enterprises.
Departure of men who are booked by enterprises
Men who are reserved for enterprises for the period of mobilization and for wartime have the right to travel abroad under certain conditions. To confirm this right, they must provide the following documents:
Extract from the order of the Ministry of Economy (in accordance with paragraph 5 of the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 03.03.2022 No. 194).
Documents on business trips abroad (CMU resolution of April 12, 2022 No. 440).
Certificate of postponement of conscription and notification of enrollment in special military registration (Decree of the Central Military Commission of August 8, 1995 No. 493-r).
Departure of civil servants abroad
There are also special departure rules for civil servants who are conscripted and booked for the period of mobilization. In addition to general documents, they must provide confirmation of a business trip and documents on deferment from the draft.
Departure of male drivers and volunteers
In the event of a state of war, drivers transporting medical cargo or humanitarian aid may travel abroad subject to relevant decisions. For this, it is necessary to have documents confirming the volume of cargo and the number of vehicles, as well as decisions from authorities or enterprises.
Crossing the Ukrainian border
Ukrainian legislation does not oblige the State Border Service to maintain an exhaustive list of documents required for crossing the state border. It is important to have with you all the necessary documents confirming the grounds for departure.
Conditions for crossing the Polish border
If you are fleeing armed aggression, Poland will allow you to enter even if you do not have all the necessary documents. It is recommended to carry an internal passport, an international passport (if applicable), birth certificates and medical documentation. In reception centers in Poland, you will be provided with temporary accommodation, food, medical assistance and a place to rest.
What documents are required to cross the border
Domestic passport or ID card.
Foreign passport (if available).
Children's birth certificates (if children are traveling).
Medical documents.
Documents confirming a special status (booking, business trip, etc.).
