Draft amendments to the law on assistance to citizens of Ukraine in connection with the armed conflict in the country are being developed by the Ministry of the Interior of Poland. Accordingly, the current provisions should be extended until June 30, 2024. Previously, the government considered the possibility of an extension until September 2024.

The document indicates that the government plans to start working on significant changes and extensions to the law, in line with the EU Council's decision to extend protection until March 2025.

"Work on these issues will begin immediately after extensive consultations with local authorities, state institutions, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders," the draft law states.

According to the proposed amendments, residence permits in Poland will remain valid until June 30, as well as the possibility of using buildings for collective residence of Ukrainian citizens.

By the end of June, Ukrainian healthcare professionals - doctors, dentists, nurses, and pharmacists - will be able to obtain a work permit in Poland.

These amendments to the special law are expected to be adopted by the Polish government during the first quarter of 2024 and may enter into force the day after the announcement.
