Package of migration laws now in the Official Journal!

Yesterday,12 May, a package of migration laws, four laws comprising the so-called migration package, which were the subject of intensive legislative work in recent months, were published in the Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland), after they were signed by the President of Poland.

These Acts include:

  • The Act on the Conditions for the Admissibility of Entrusting Work to Foreign Citizens on the territory of Poland,
  • The Act amending certain Acts to Eliminate Irregularities in the Visa System of the Republic of Poland,
  • The Act amending the Foreign Citizens Act and certain other Acts,
  • The Labour Market and Employment Services Act

This means that most of the regulations changing (sometimes very significantly) the rules related to legalisation of work and stay of foreign citizens in Poland will become effective as early as 1 June 2025, i.e. on the first day of the month following the expiration of 14 days from the date of announcement.
