Report on Visa Fraud and Uncontrolled Migration in 2019-2023
A Polish parliamentary investigative committee revealed systemic abuses in the issuance of visas to foreigners by the Law and Justice (PiS) government. It found corruption, illegal pressure on consuls, and the creation of unlawful fast-track visa procedures. These actions led to a massive, uncontrolled influx of migrants, endangering Poland's security and weakening its international standing.
Key points
A corrupt system was uncovered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Deputy Minister Piotr Wawrzyk and associate Edgar Kobos took bribes to expedite visas for foreigners from Asia and Africa.
The 'Poland. Business Harbour' program for IT specialists, launched without a legal basis, became the easiest entry route to the EU for 95,000 people, including from Russia after the war began.
Consuls were subjected to illegal pressure and reprisals when they refused to issue visas to unqualified individuals, undermining their independence.
The special services (CBA) knew about the corruption from July 2022 but failed to take effective action for 7 months, allowing further crimes to occur.
The committee is filing notices with the prosecutor's office regarding suspected crimes by 11 individuals, including former ministers Zbigniew Rau and Mariusz Kamiński.
