Upcoming difficulties in hiring Ukrainian and Georgian citizens – what employers need to know
Amendments to laws and regulations will introduce significant changes for companies employing citizens of Ukraine and Georgia:
- Ukraine: from 4 March 2026, the privileged status will end – it will be necessary to obtain a Polish visa or residence permit.
- Georgia: planned removal from the list of countries covered by simplified employment procedures and visa-free travel.
Impact on employers:
- Need for prior verification of employee status and document validity.
- Extended residence legalisation deadlines – in some regions even exceeding one year.
- Greater risk of staff shortages in key areas of business.
