In December, Poland adopted an important law regarding the status of Ukrainian refugees. The country's Senate supported the bill, which outlines the conditions for Ukrainians' stay in Poland. President Karol Nawrocki must sign the law, after which it will come into effect. The main provisions of this law set certain conditions for Ukrainian refugees.
Main provisions of the new law:
- Legal stay: Ukrainians can legally stay in Poland until 2026.
- Social benefits: The law establishes conditions for receiving social benefits, depending on the parents' activity and children's education.
- Medical restrictions: Some medical services for adult Ukrainian citizens are restricted.
- Control: Monthly checks on the viability and whereabouts of Ukrainians will be conducted. Payments will be suspended if they leave or are unemployed.
It is expected that the president will sign the law soon, as the government and the president are collaborating on important issues. After the law is signed, it will come into effect the day after publication in the official journal. This innovation will allow Ukrainians to legally stay in Poland until 2026.
