Will there be an extension of the solutions from the “Special Act of Ukrainian citizens”?

According to the latest announcements from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, the government has initiated preparations to amend the so-called 'Special Act for Ukrainian Citizens' to extend its validity for another six months, until September 2024.

Concurrently, amendments to the current regulations are expected, with a focus on new assistance rules for Ukrainian citizens residing in Poland. These adjustments aim to align with the current situation and needs in the Polish and European markets.

It's important to note that based on the EU Council Executive Decision 2023/2409, temporary protection on the territory of the European Union for individuals who fled the war in Ukraine has been extended until 4 March 2025. This extension does not create a contradiction in regulations, as changes to Polish regulations and the aid system within our country will not negate the EU-wide regulations, allowing war refugees to continue benefiting from them.
