To combat loopholes in the system, Poland is introducing stricter work and student visa requirements. The purpose of the new regulation is to prevent foreigners from exploiting the visa system to enter Poland illegally.
Here is a brief summary of the most important changes:
Stricter employment controls: Companies sponsoring foreign workers will face a stricter vetting process. They must prove that they are legitimate companies that really need foreign labor and can provide adequate working conditions.
Student pre-selection: Universities have a greater role to select international students before applying for a visa. This ensures that only qualified students receive aid.
Higher financial requirements: students must prove that they have enough money to cover living expenses during their studies in Poland.
The Polish government believes that these changes are necessary to ensure national security and prevent abuse of the visa system. The impact on foreign workers and students remains to be seen, but Poland emphasizes its commitment to accepting foreigners who meet the new requirements.
Additional Considerations
- It is important to note that the new visa rules have not yet been finalized, and they could be subject to change.
- The impact of the new rules on foreign workers and students is still unclear.
The Polish government has said that it will continue to welcome foreign workers and students, but that they must meet the new requirements.
