Germany denies entry to Ukrainian refugees from Poland.


The majority of foreigners to whom Germany denies entry are refugees from Ukraine, according to statistical data.
According to InPoland, since Germany established border control with Poland, about 11,000 foreigners have been returned to Poland.
Despite the fact that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainians can theoretically move freely within the EU, German border guards can deny them entry.
There are several reasons for denial:
If Ukrainians have obtained temporary protection in one of the European Union countries and wish to enter Germany without prior consent;
Ukrainians lack all necessary documents for movement within the Schengen area;
The refusal of authorities in some federal states to accept refugees.
According to the Federal Police Headquarters in Potsdam, the number of entry refusals in 2024 amounted to 9,369 cases. The largest number of refusals was received by Ukrainian citizens - 4,704 individuals. In turn, Germany denied entry to 580 Afghans, 470 Syrians, 377 Georgians, and 234 Indians.
