Spain: Information for stateless people and those at risk of statelessness fleeing Ukraine ENS Focal Point: Fundación CEPAIM & ACCEM Last updated: 8 June 2022 This briefing provides country-specific information for stateless people and those at risk of statelessness fleeing Ukraine. It is intended as a source of information for refugee response actors and affected individuals. The focus is on stateless people and people at risk of statelessness, including those who are undocumented. Links to more general information for refugees from Ukraine are provided throughout. We will endeavour to keep this information updated. Please contact Ukraine.crisis@statelessness.eu if you have relevant updates. Unless otherwise shown, the source of information provided is the ENS Focal Point. 1. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS & REGISTRATION People fleeing Ukraine are generally allowed to enter Spain. The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration set up four centres for initial reception, care and referral for people arriving from Ukraine (in Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante, and Malaga). There are also emergency centres across the country managed by Fundación CEPAIM (in Aragón, Andalucía, Valencia, Madrid, and Murcia) as well as information points in each of these centres. Legal assistance is provided to access temporary protection, as well as psychological assistance and assistance on accessing the reception system for those who do not have financial resources. The European Commission confirms that a lack of travel documents or medical documents (certificate of vaccination, COVID-19 test) should not be an obstacle to entering the EU throughout the Ukraine crisis. For more information on entry requirements, reception and assistance, see the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration’s page on Information for displaced persons from Ukraine, and the Information Guide for displaced people (available in Spanish, English and Ukrainian). Detailed information is also available in the National Legal Clinics Network’s Action for Ukraine.
