Poland has changed its employment rules: who will not get a job.

Starting from June 1, new rules for foreigners have come into effect in Poland. Now students wishing to study at universities must have language proficiency at the B2 level. For other migrant categories, the possibility of obtaining work or residence in the country is limited. All of this is aimed at facilitating the legalization process of stay and employment, making it more transparent and controlled.

Rules for Students

The new requirements apply to students planning to study in Poland. They must have an education certificate, speak the language at the B2 level, pass an entrance exam or interview, and not exceed the established number of foreigners.

• Universities where more than half of the students are foreign citizens must stop enrolling students until the established ratio is achieved.
• If a student misses classes, the university must notify the consulate.

Rules for Workers

Now, for foreigners planning to work in Poland, there is a ban for individuals with visas from other EU countries, the creation of blacklists of professions, control over salaries and the frequency of employment, as well as increased fines for illegal employment.

• Recruitment agencies will have the right to employ foreigners only for two years after registration.

These changes are aimed at ensuring legal migration and combating illegal work. The Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, emphasized the importance of fair employment and support from the state.

It has been reported that Ukrainians are facing a decrease in sympathy from Polish society toward them, with prevailing antagonism. This may affect their conditions of stay and work in Poland.

Poland is implementing new rules for foreigners wishing to study or work in the country. These measures are intended to simplify the legalization of stay and employment, as well as to ensure compliance with laws. Additionally, recent data indicate a certain deterioration in the situation of Ukrainians in Poland, which may impact their further lives and work in this country.
