Recognised refugees and persons in need of complementary protection in Ukraine enjoy free movement and choice of place of residence. Both refugees and beneficiaries of complementary protection must inform the SMS about any change of address in Ukraine within 30 days.[1] The Code of Administrative Offences sets forth a fine in case of failure to comply with the registration requirement (around €40-80).[2]
