The migration strategy will include key decisions from the perspective of the state. It will be a synthetic and guidance document for actions undertaken by various institutions and entities implementing the migration policy,

stressed Deputy Minister Maciej Duszczyk.

The efforts to develop Poland’s migration strategy will be conducted on a very broad scale and in consideration of various positions. Therefore, the following work schedule has been adopted.

In January, the Interministerial Migration Team was reactivated. The team will co-ordinate the management of migration processes. The first meeting of the Interministerial Migration Team will be held on 7th February 2024.

In February–April 2024, a questionnaire will be prepared in consultation with the scientific community (Committee on Migration Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences). It will contain a set of migration and migration policy issues. Then the questionnaire will be sent to a wide range of entities dealing with migration policy. Paper and electronic versions of the questionnaire will be made available from April through June 2024. On the basis of its results, a report will be created (July–August 2024).

In September 2024, on the basis of this report, a draft of a strategy for comprehensive, responsible and safe migration for Poland will be presented and submitted for discussion to the Interministerial Migration Team. Social consultations of the draft strategy are planned for October and November 2024.

In accordance with the presented guidelines, the final version of the draft migration strategy will be elaborated in December 2024. Then the draft strategy will be considered by the Council of Ministers. On that basis, from January till June 2025, new legislation will be drafted. One piece of legislation will be a new legislative act on foreigners.

The comprehensive action plan is presented in the table.
