Trade barrier summary

Poland’s government has taken a major step towards improving access for international professionals by streamlining procedures for issuing and renewing residence permits and EU Blue Cards for non-EU nationals. This reform directly benefits UK businesses in Poland, making it easier to hire and retain global talent.

Thanks to the newly adopted amendments, businesses can now onboard recruits with fewer administrative hurdles, and the process has become faster, clearer and more predictable. The reform involved amendments to the following key acts: Foreigners’ Employment Conditions Act, Visa System Reform Act, Amendment to the Foreigners Act and Labour Market Act.
