Extension of the ban on asylum applications at the border with Belarus

The Polish government is seeking to extend the ban on applying for international protection (asylum) at the border with Belarus for another 60 days. This means people crossing this border will not be able to apply for asylum in Poland, aiming to curb illegal migration. The decision impacts the border situation and security, but also limits the rights of refugees.
Key points
The ban on asylum applications at the border with Belarus is extended for another 60 days, starting March 22, 2026.
The government argues that the threat from Belarus, which uses migrants to destabilize Poland, still exists.
During the ban (since March 2025), 451 foreigners were not allowed to apply, and only 94 from vulnerable groups had their applications accepted.
