New Polish Law Changes Rules for Student Residence Permits

Recent changes in Polish law have impacted students' ability to obtain residence permits. Students in Poland on student visas can only now apply for permits related to their studies. However, exceptions exist for those with specific documentation, such as Ukrainian citizens with Ukr status, who can still apply based on employment. "These changes are important for students to understand," explains @WK-partners, an immigration specialist. "It's crucial to be aware of the new regulations to ensure a legal stay in Poland." The changes, which went into effect on June 1st, 2025, highlight the evolving immigration landscape in Poland and the need for clear communication to those affected. This situation underscores the importance of seeking professional guidance to navigate the complexities of Polish immigration law.
