🇵🇱 MAIN LEGAL CHANGES FOR FOREIGNERS IN POLAND – FROM JUNE & JULY 2025! 🇵🇱

Your life and work in Poland may change soon. Starting June 1, a new law is in force, bringing huge updates to residence and employment rules for foreigners. Another wave of changes comes July 1.

Here's a simple breakdown of what’s new – both the good and the bad.

✅ WHAT GOT BETTER?

🔹 You can now open a sole proprietorship (JDG) if you have a Blue Card!
🔹 More rights for Blue Card holders across the EU – including short- and long-term mobility.
🔹 No more "Labour Market Test"! Each region (voivodeship) will now have its own list of protected professions that are off-limits for foreigners – no nationwide test required.
🔹 Easier to change employers if you’re on a Blue Card.

⚠️ WHAT GOT TOUGHER?

🔻 Much higher fines for employers & workers:
• Employers: up to 50,000 PLN for illegal employment
• Foreigners: fines from 1,000 PLN to 5,000 PLN for illegal work

🔻 Stricter rules for student visa holders:
If you're on a student visa, you can’t apply for temporary residence & work, and you can’t open a business without special permission.

🔻Limited work rights on some visa types:
You cannot legally work in Poland on:
• Schengen visas from other countries
• Transit visas
• Certain national visas (types 02, 11, 14, 23)

🔻New obligation for Ukrainians & their employers:
• You must notify your employer within 7 days after receiving your residence/work decision.
• Employers must also inform the Labor Office within 7 days of your starting work.

🗓 Coming July 1, 2025:

🗣️ Polish language exam required for long-term EU residency!
To apply for EU long-term resident status, you’ll need to prove your Polish language skills at B1 level.

🇵🇱 NEW RULES FOR UNIVERSITIES & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN POLAND – FROM JULY 1, 2025 🇵🇱

Big changes are coming to the Polish immigration and education system starting July 1st.
These reforms aim to tighten control over foreign student admissions and eliminate abuse.

Here are the 5 most important updates you MUST know:

1️⃣ Strict licensing system for universities

Only accredited, verified institutions will be allowed to accept foreign students.

Universities must now prove:
• At least 5 years of experience in higher education
• No tax/social debt
• Financial and organizational stability

If an institution fails to meet these standards, authorities (Voivode, Border Guard) can ban them from enrolling foreign students.
This is a direct blow to "visa factories."

2️⃣ New grounds for refusal or withdrawal of student visas & permits

Officials now have much broader powers to refuse or cancel visas and residence permits. A permit or visa may be denied if:

• The school is seen as operating mainly to help foreigners enter or stay in Poland illegally
• You previously misused a visa issued for studies

This gives authorities wide discretion and could lead to more rejections.

3️⃣ Polish language certificate now required

To apply for a residence permit as a student, you'll now need a recognised Polish language certificate, even if you're attending a post-secondary (policealna) school. This is to prove you're prepared for studies in Polish.

4️⃣ Foreign student limit: max 50% per university

A new cap is being introduced: no more than 50% of students at any university can be foreigners. This is meant to encourage integration and limit commercial abuse of student admissions.

5️⃣ Visa priority for PhD students and researchers

Poland will now prioritise visas for doctoral candidates and academic researchers.
Faster processing, fewer formalities, and special legal protections.

Blue Card holders — new opportunity in Poland

If you hold an EU Blue Card in Poland, starting from June 1, 2025, you can officially register a sole proprietorship (JDG)—on the same terms as Polish citizens—thanks to amendments implementing EU Directive 2021/1883

This provides you with:

- More flexibility
- Full control over your income
- Access to freelance & B2B contracts

🎁 Use promo code «Blue Card» to get €100 off JDG registration.

Don’t hesitate and contact us if you need more information or our assistance -> @mojafirma_contact

In our last post, we shared that holders of the Blue Card can now legally open a sole proprietorship (JDG) in Poland.

But what exactly is allowed — and what isn’t?
Here are 5 key answers you need before making a move

1. If Blue Card issued before June 2025, can I stil open JDG in Poland?

Your status is still valid for running JDG. The date doesn’t matter — what matters is that it was issued under Art. 127.

2. Can I invoice my current employer?

No, you cannot invoice a company where you’re currently employed under a job contract.

3. Can I offer the same services you do in your job?

Yes, you can — but only to different clients. You can’t replicate your current job under JDG.

4. Can my JDG income exceed your salary?

Yes, it can. There’s no income cap. You can earn more through your business than via employment.

5. What if my Blue Card expires?

You must suspend your JDG unless you receive another residence permit that allows business activity.

📌 Legal basis:
Art. 127 – Ustawa o cudzoziemcach
Art. 4 ust. 2 pkt 1 lit. c – Ustawa o zasadach uczestnictwa przedsiębiorców zagranicznych (Dz.U. 2025 poz. 89)

VAT exemption limit will increase to 240,000 PLN!

Good news for sole proprietors (JDG) in Poland!
Starting January 1st, 2026, the VAT exemption threshold will be increased from 200,000 PLN to 240,000 PLN.

If your revenue stays below this new limit, you can continue to run your business without VAT registration – that means simpler accounting and fewer formalities.

This change was officially signed into law on July 3rd, 2025, and will apply automatically from the beginning of next year.

💡 Example:
If in 2025 your revenue is, for example, 215,000 PLN — you will still qualify for VAT exemption in 2026!

If you're unsure how this applies to your case — message us, and we’ll help you review your numbers.

❗️IMPORTANT ❗️

As of August 25, 2025, the President of Poland has rejected the draft law that would have extended the special law for Ukrainians until March 2026. At this moment, the special law remains in force only until September 30, 2025.

Therefore, foreigners who are working in Poland or running a sole proprietorship (JDG) should seriously consider applying for a residence permit (karta pobytu) to secure their legal stay and work in Poland beyond that date.

Legal Stay for Ukrainians in Poland Extended Until March 2026

The President of Poland has signed a law extending the legal stay of Ukrainians who arrived in Poland due to the war until March 4, 2026. This decision ensures that nearly 1 million Ukrainians will have their residency status regulated and can continue to stay legally in Poland.

❗️Although your legal stay has been extended, applying for your Residence Card (Karta Pobytu) is essential to ensure you’re properly insured and fully protected❗️

📲Contact @mojafirma_contact to avoid any potential issues with your status!

Additional Key Changes:

🔹Employment requirement for benefits: foreigners from third countries will only be eligible for social benefits if they are actively employed in Poland or if their children attend school (children under 6 are exempt).

🔹Minimum wage rule: to qualify for benefits, foreigners must earn at least 50% of the minimum wage, which in 2025 is 2,333 PLN gross per month.

🔹Verification process: applicants must have a PESEL number and appear in person at the office with their children to verify their identity.

🔹Monitoring: ZUS will check monthly whether foreigners are legally employed and residing in Poland, using data from Border Guard and other authorities.

Signed by President, September 26, 2025

📌Personal submission of residence applications is unavailable

You can submit your documents:

❗️Option with biuro podawcze works the same as post but takes more time to book an appointment.

All residence applications will need to be submitted electronically via MOS.
You can still use a legal representative (pełnomocnik).

What can I do now?

🇵🇱 Changes to mObywatel & Profil Zaufany: What foreigners should know

Poland is introducing a new digital identification system starting 12 January 2026.

Here is the most important part:

What changes?

Polish citizens will soon log in to mObywatel and Profil Zaufany using the new e-ID (e-dowód).

What about foreigners?

Nothing major changes for foreigners.
As most foreigners cannot receive an e-dowód:

🔹 Profil Zaufany will remain available
🔹 Access to ePUAP, tax services, ZUS, CEIDG etc. stays the same
🔹 Other login methods will remain (bank login, password+SMS, app confirmation)
🔹 Your current PZ will continue to work

Poland cannot require a document that foreigners cannot legally have.

What should you do now?

✔️ Make sure your Profil Zaufany is active
✔️ Update the mObywatel app
✔️ Check your phone number & email

No additional steps are required.

We are monitoring the updates and will inform you as soon as the government publishes detailed login rules for foreigners.

Stay tuned!

🇵🇱 Important changes for Ukrainian citizens in Poland (from March 5, 2026)

Here are the key updates:

1️⃣ New residence status
Ukrainian citizens are now officially considered beneficiaries of temporary protection.
The PESEL with UKR status remains valid.

2️⃣ Extension of legal stay
The following have been extended until March 4, 2027:
✔ visas
✔ residence cards
✔ visa-free stay

3️⃣ Working in Poland
Ukrainian citizens can still work without a work permit based on an employer’s notification.

4️⃣ Business (JDG)
Entrepreneurs who registered JDG before March 5, 2026 can continue their activity.
However, to continue running a business after March 4, 2027, you will need to apply for a temporary residence permit based on business activity.

5️⃣ PESEL update — deadline August 31, 2026
If you received PESEL UKR without a passport or your passport is no longer valid, you must update your data at Urząd Gminy.

Failure to update may result in:
• loss of temporary protection status
• change of residence status to NUE
• possible loss of the legal basis for employment

6️⃣ Health insurance changes
From March 5, 2026, Ukrainian citizens no longer have automatic access to the public healthcare system (NFZ).

If you pay NFZ contributions (for example through umowa zlecenia or JDG), you may add your family members to your health insurance.

7️⃣ Check your UKR status
It is recommended to regularly check whether your UKR status is active, especially before leaving Poland and after returning.
