New regime related to the stay and work of Ukrainian citizens in Poland

17 March 2022

On Monday, 14 March 2022, the Act on Assistance for Citizens of Ukraine in Connection with the Armed Conflict in Ukraine, adopted on 12 March 2022 (the "Act") came into force.

The Act sets out special rules for legalizing residence, offering work and providing assistance to Ukrainian citizens in Poland. The provisions of the Act complement the existing solutions resulting from Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/382 of 4 March 2022 stating the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine within the meaning of Article 5 of Directive 2001/55/EC and resulting in the introduction of temporary protection (the "Decision"). In this summary, we focus on the provisions of the Act and the terms of the Decision relating to the legalization of stay and work.
