IMPACT – HIGH
Poland has declared an official state of epidemic emergency and, effective immediately, will suspend all foreign nationals from entering the country. Immigration services, at both consular and local posts, will be limited in the coming weeks as the government continues to implement measures to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Key points:
Background: The new travel restrictions expand upon previous measures made last week that introduced sanitary checks at all land borders and required travelers entering the country to complete a written declaration of period and place of stay upon arrival.
Analysis & Comments: Poland is taking serious steps to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus that will have a significant impact on immigration and inbound travel. Employers should expect delays in immigration processing, especially for temporary residence permits and renewal applications, in the coming weeks. Deloitte is strongly urging companies to have employees work from home for the next two weeks to help contain the spread of the virus, and will alert clients to additional changes as information becomes available.
