Order No. 4146-r of December 29, 2025

The deadline for paying contributions to the personal liability fund has been extended for outbound tour operators. The signed order moves it from January 15 to April 15, 2026.

This decision is aimed at maintaining the financial stability of the tourism industry amid temporary restrictions caused by the geopolitical situation. It will not affect the level of protection of tourists' rights. The freed-up funds will be used, among other things, to refund tourists who paid for trips to countries with restrictions due to security threats.

By law, outbound tour operators must pay their contributions to the personal liability fund in equal installments no later than the 15th of each month following the previous calendar quarter. The government also made decisions to postpone these deadlines in 2021, 2022, and 2025 due to the threat of the spread of the coronavirus and, subsequently, external sanctions.
