Poland is set to introduce new language rules that will impact foreign nationals seeking an EU Long-term Residence Permit. These rules, which will take effect on June 24, 2023, require applicants to demonstrate a confirmed knowledge of Polish at the B1 level.
This move aims to ensure that immigrants have a basic understanding of the country’s official language, fostering integration and communication within Polish society.
Under the amended regulations, foreign nationals can now provide certificates from select private examinations as well as certificates indicating successful completion of internal language examinations at Polish universities.
These certificates will serve as proof that the applicants possess at least B1-level proficiency in the Polish language.
Impetus for Change The decision to broaden the acceptable range of language certifications is driven by a desire to streamline the application process for foreign nationals seeking long-term residence in Poland.
By recognizing private examinations and internal university assessments, the Polish government aims to offer greater flexibility and accessibility to individuals who may have gained language skills through alternative means.
Benefits of the New Language Requirements The introduction of these new language requirements is expected to yield several benefits. First and foremost, it will promote integration and enhance communication between foreign nationals and the local population
By possessing a basic understanding of Polish, immigrants can engage more effectively in everyday activities, including work, education, and social interactions.
Moreover, the language proficiency requirement at the B1 level will contribute to the overall socio-economic development of Poland. It will ensure that foreign residents have a solid foundation in the language, which can facilitate their integration into the labour market and increase their employability.
By encouraging language acquisition, the Polish government aims to create a more inclusive and diverse society that can harness the full potential of its multicultural population.
Brilliant
The Baltics have something like this too, going back many years.
It’s a sound policy.

I don’t know much about the EU system. Does an Italian, say, need a permit to move to Poland? I thought one of the EU advantages was visa-free travel among member states?
Why can’t we do this here in America?
Some English required. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but enough to basically understand.
Roughly like my German (when I was fueled with alcohol). I knew I knew when I was able to tell a joke and all my German friends ROTFLTAO!
Maybe they were just laughing at you messing up your feminine genetive articles? (Still having nightmares from high school German)
For some strange reason, I’ve been learning Finnish. Fascinating language.
No, a citizen of any EU country can travel, live and work in Poland.

If he stays longer than 3 months he does need to register. He can apply for residency, but that would just be to give the right to vote at the local ie mayor etc elections
Doskonały!
