根據目前烏克蘭的法令,年齡介於18歲到60歲之間的男性被禁止離境。由於前線的兵力嚴重不足,徵兵令的年齡從27歲降低到25歲。外交部於4月24日宣布最新的領事館服務限制,規定烏克蘭男性只能在5月中旬之前在國內換取護照。這表示已經出國的烏克蘭男性將無法獲得護照加簽或更換,可能會面臨以下問題:

無法進入目的地國家:大多數國家要求外國人持有效護照才能入境。如果護照已過期、損壞,或者簽證已失效,會被拒絕入境。

無法證明身份和國籍:護照是國際上公認的身份和國籍證明文件。如果沒有有效的護照,無法證明自己的身份和國籍,會導致在目的地國家遇到各種問題例如工作跟合法居留的申請。

無法離開目的地國家:如果護照在入境時被扣留或遺失,並且無法獲得加簽或更換,會導致無法離開目的地國家。最終演變成長時間滯留在境外,面臨不便和困難。

無法享受外交保護:護照通常是獲得外交保護和領事服務的前提。如果護照無效,會無法得到外交使領館的幫助和保護,特別是在遇到緊急情況或法律問題時。

被視為非法滯留者:在某些情況下,如果無法提供有效的身份和旅行文件,會被視為非法滯留者,可能會面臨被拘留、罰款或遣返等後果。

因此,保持護照的有效性至關重要,及時處理護照問題以確保能夠順利出入境和旅行。近期相關的法令是要讓更多男人回到烏克蘭,但一入境後將無法再出國。

According to current Ukrainian laws, males aged between 18 and 60 are prohibited from leaving the country. Due to severe shortages in frontline personnel, the conscription age has been lowered from 27 to 25. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the latest consulate service restrictions on April 24th, stipulating that Ukrainian males can only exchange passports domestically until mid-May. This means Ukrainian males who are already abroad will be unable to obtain passport endorsements or replacements, potentially facing the following issues:

Inability to enter destination countries: Most countries require foreign nationals to hold valid passports for entry. Expired, damaged, or invalidated passports will result in entry refusal.

Inability to prove identity and nationality: Passports serve as internationally recognized identity and nationality documents. Lack of a valid passport prevents individuals from proving their identity and nationality, leading to various problems such as job applications and legal residence in destination countries.

Inability to leave destination countries: If a passport is confiscated or lost upon entry and cannot be endorsed or replaced, individuals will be unable to leave the destination country, eventually leading to prolonged stays abroad and facing inconvenience and difficulties.

Inability to enjoy diplomatic protection: Passports are typically prerequisites for obtaining diplomatic protection and consular services. Invalid passports prevent individuals from receiving assistance and protection from diplomatic missions, especially in emergencies or legal issues.

Being considered illegal residents: In certain circumstances, failure to provide valid identification and travel documents may result in being deemed illegal residents, potentially facing detention, fines, or deportation.

Therefore, maintaining the validity of passports is crucial, and addressing passport issues promptly is essential to ensure smooth entry, exit, and travel. Recent regulations aim to bring more men back to Ukraine, but once they enter the country, they will be unable to travel abroad again.
