Understand this route
Ukrainians were housed both in the general CAS/SAI system and under special measures with a subsistence contribution that was later wound down. As at 26 September 2026 we have no verified description of the arrangements after 1 January 2026: check with the prefettura and the comune rather than relying on older guidance.
What to check
- Which system houses you: CAS or SAI.
- The current rules: at the prefettura, not in older guidance.
- How long your placement lasts and what comes after.
Caveat
Two different dates. At EU level temporary protection runs to 4 March 2028 (Council Decision (EU) 2026/1912). Italian instruments, as at 26 September 2026, are still tied to 4 March 2027, and we found no Italian implementing act for 2028. Check your questura and the Ministry of the Interior before acting.
