Switzerland Revokes 30,000 Ukrainian Refugee Permits

Israa Farhan Switzerland has revoked the temporary protection status of more than 30,000 Ukrainian refugees since February 2022, according to the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM). Currently, around 68,000 Ukrainians still benefit from this protection. The SEM explained in a statement on X that the special protection system grants "S status," which includes the right to work, access to insurance, education for children, freedom of movement in and out of the country, and family reunification. The latest figures show that 68,254 individuals currently hold S status, reflecting an increase of 133 from March 3, 2025. Meanwhile, 30,918 people have had their status revoked, an increase of 199 in the same period. In December 2024, the Swiss National Council, the country's lower parliamentary chamber, tightened the criteria for granting S status to Ukrainian refugees. Under the revised policy, only individuals arriving from active war zones or areas outside Kyiv's control are eligible for protection. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
