Effective from 1 June 2025, the Polish government has introduced sweeping changes to immigration regulations that significantly affect employers hiring foreign workers.
From increased penalties for illegal employment to the mandatory digitalisation of work permit applications, these new rules impose broader obligations on businesses across the board. They also intensify scrutiny of outsourcing arrangements and offer more flexible pathways for hiring skilled professionals.
In this publication, we provide an overview of the key changes set to take effect this month. Every employer that hires foreigners, whether directly or indirectly (e.g., via contingent workforce arrangements), must take action to ensure compliance, avoid fines, and make the most of the opportunities presented by Poland’s evolving immigration framework.
Let our Employment and Immigration team help you navigate and adapt to these changes.
