In our Spotlight on EMEA series we bring you updates from around the region. In this post, we look at the new draft law for online residence applications in Poland.
On 5 August 2025, the Polish government announced that it had adopted a draft law amending the Act on Foreigners and certain other acts, submitted by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration.
There are a range of changes, but the new regulations enable the submission of electronic applications for temporary residence permits, permanent residence permits and for long-term residence of the EU.

The project will also introduce changes to processes for adopting a common system for the recognition of return decisions throughout the European Union.
