Changes to the Repatriation Act: New Rules and Financial Support
The act amends the repatriation law, clarifying procedures and modifying financial support for repatriates and their families. New regulations specify the rules for granting financial aid for settlement and issuing citizenship decisions. For citizens, this means changes in formalities and new aid amounts for people returning to Poland.
Key points
Financial aid for settlement and current living expenses for the repatriate and each member of the repatriate's immediate family will amount to twice the average salary announced in the quarter preceding the date of application.
A new, detailed application form for financial aid has been introduced, which must be submitted within 3 months from the date of delivery of the voivode's decision confirming possession of Polish citizenship.
Maximum limits of state budget expenditures resulting from the act for 2027–2036 have been set at PLN 80,757 thousand annually.
It has been clarified that the decision to recognize someone as a repatriate also covers a minor child who is a foreigner, remaining under the care of the person covered by the application for recognition as a repatriate.
The rules for issuing national visas for repatriation have been changed – in cases justified by a special professional situation, a contract entrusting the performance of other gainful work for a period of not less than 12 months may also be recognized as proof of having sources of maintenance.
