COVID-19 permit extensions to end

IMPACT — MEDIUM

The Polish government has announced that it will end its COVID-19 residence and work permit validity extensions.

Key Points:

• On July 1, Polish authorities officially ended its COVID-19 “state of epidemic threat.”
• Residence and work permits that have been automatically extended under COVID-19 policies will remain valid until July 31.
• Foreign nationals who hold permits that have been automatically extended because of COVID-19 must apply for new permits to remain in the country legally.

BAL Analysis: Employers should ensure their employees who had received automatic permit extensions under the COVID-19 policies apply for new residence and work permits so they can remain in the country.
