By noon today (Thursday), the German police say (in terms of registrations), there are presently 288,500 Ukrainians officially in the country.
Unofficially? Well....this gets talked about. Some folks think there could be around 100,000 who are staying with friends or relatives, who haven't registered with the police or the Interior Ministry.
The regulation says you can stay up to ninety days....without a registration or just on a tourist-type visa.
Where this leads to by the end of the year? If you watch the chat-forum shows and the politicians have any real indication.....it's over 500,000 expected, and could easily reach 1-million this year.
Housing issues? You have different resolutions going on. Some Germans are openly inviting Ukrainians to stay in their home (house-mate situation). Some hotels are offering up room presently.....with pay-back via the state government possible. If you counted up rural housing, there's probably enough empty homes/apartments in the rural areas to easily house 1-million.
