The draft bill on the terms of allowing foreigners to work in the Republic of Poland has been sent to the Sejm
More than six months after it was first drafted, today (on 7 January 2025) the bill has been placed before the Sejm (lower house of Polish parliament).
The bill includes, among other things:
- higher penalties for illegally engaging foreigners to work in Poland
- streamlining and fully digitalising procedures involving the legalisation of foreigners’ work in Poland.
Until recently, it was also going to introduce a requirement that foreigners may be engaged only under contracts of employment, which met with strong opposition from employers and industry organisations. Ultimately, this idea was dropped just before the bill was sent to the Sejm.
