Digitization of Residence Applications and New Visa Rules for Foreigners
The act introduces an obligation to submit applications for temporary, permanent, and EU long-term resident permits online via a new Case Handling Module (MOS). It expands the catalog of data collected on foreigners, including fingerprints and specimen signatures. It also grants the government new tools to quickly reinstate visa requirements for citizens of other countries if required by security or labor market conditions.

Fingerprints and a specimen signature will be mandatorily collected from foreigners applying for residence permits.
The government will gain the ability to quickly reinstate visas for citizens of countries whose arrivals are deemed a risk to security or the labor market.
A new European travel document has been introduced to facilitate the return of persons obliged to leave Poland to their country of origin.
The scope of personal data collected from foreigners has been standardized and expanded, including addresses in the country of origin and family member data.
