Big Changes Are Coming to Immigration Law in Poland (2025)

If you're a foreigner living in Poland—or planning to move here—2025 might shake things up.

Polish lawmakers are working on several major updates to immigration policy. While not all the changes are final, here’s what’s likely coming… and why it matters to you.

1. Stricter TRC Requirements

The Temporary Residence Card (TRC) process could soon demand:

• More proof of financial stability

• Verified long-term accommodation

• Faster expiration for short work contracts

  
  

Translation: Short-term or freelance workers may face more rejections.

2. Student Visas May Get Tougher

For international students:

• Expect mandatory Polish language levels (B1 or B2) for renewals

• Nostrification of foreign degrees might be enforced more strictly

• Potential limits on working hours during studies

3. Blue Card & Skilled Worker Program Changes

The EU Blue Card rules may align with EU-wide reforms:

• Higher salary thresholds

• Clearer pathways to permanent residence

• Faster processing for tech, engineering, and medical roles

  
  

Good news if you're a skilled worker. But expect more paperwork.

4. More Digital Control = More Rejections

Poland is digitising its immigration system. That means:

• AI flagging “risky” applications

• Cross-checking employment and tax records instantly

• Fewer second chances if your paperwork isn’t perfect
