The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy has announced that it will compile by the end of this year a draft list of occupations most in-demand.
On 27 October 2025, a debate entitled "Challenges and directions of change in the area of citizenship and repatriation" was held at the Ministry of Internal Affair’s headquarters. During the meeting, the planned draft changes to the rules for acquiring Polish citizenship, which the ministry is currently working on, were presented.
A law changing the calculation of the length of service by which periods of work under a contract of mandate (or other contracts for the provision of services) and operating a business, among others, will be included in a period of employment, has been signed by the president and published in the Journal of Laws.
Alongside the introduction of the EES (Entry/Exit System), which will ultimately replace passport stamps confirming foreigners’ entry to and exit from the EU, the Polish authorities are also planning to abandon other stamps relating to foreigners. These include stamps confirming the submission of residence permit applications and the legality of a foreigner’s stay while awaiting a decision on the issuance of the relevant permit.
Poland should implement the EU Directive on pay transparency by June next year. Thus far, a law implementing one of its articles has been passed, and a special team at the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has been working on a draft second law since December 2024.
The EES is a European Union IT system used to register data on third-country nationals crossing the EU's external borders for short stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period).
