What are the procedures and requirements for extending the validity of a passport for temporarily displaced persons from Ukraine in Sweden?

Temporarily displaced persons from Ukraine are allowed to enter Sweden with a foreign passport, an internal passport of a citizen of Ukraine or another identity document.

If your passport for traveling abroad expires, you can extend the validity period by contacting the consular department of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Sweden. The procedure for extending the validity of a passport for traveling abroad is temporary, introduced during the period of martial law plus one year from the date of its termination.
