The employment of foreign students and graduates of Polish universities in 2025 is a topic fraught with new challenges and legislative changes.

Simplified procedures for students and graduates improve access to the labour market, but stricter Border Guard controls and new document verification requirements impose additional obligations on employers.

In a new article on Lexplorers, Dominika Cząstka, LL.M., explains the key aspects of legal employment, the consequences of the new regulations and the risks associated with incorrect documentation of student or graduate status.

This is a must-read for all employers who hire foreigners or plan to recruit students from abroad.

Currently, three draft amendments to the Polish Citizenship Act, which are at various stages of the legislative process, are the subject of legislative work.

Although they were presented by intensely competing political camps and centres of power, it is possible to identify the basic assumptions common to all drafts, which boil down to establishing more stringent rules for obtaining Polish citizenship.

While the presidential and parliamentary drafts focus on extending the period of uninterrupted residence required to obtain citizenship, the legislative plans of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration envisage a more profound reform based on ‘four pillars’. Among these ‘four pillars’ is, somewhat unexpectedly, tax residence.

These issues are discussed today on Lexplorers by Aldona Leszczyńska-Mikulska, attorney-at-law.
