The legalisation of residence for Ukrainian citizens in Poland is primarily regulated by the Act on Assistance to Ukrainian Citizens. On its basis, it is possible to obtain UKR status<\/strong>, which entitles to legal residence, work and access to social benefits. This status is available to persons who arrived in Poland after 24 February 2022 in connection with the armed conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holders of UKR status have the right to reside in Poland for 18 months with possibility of extension<\/strong>. They also have the right to work without the need for additional permits and access to public health care and education. The status also allows free movement within the Schengen area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UKR status can be obtained by applying online at gov.pl<\/strong> or in person at any provincial office. A valid Ukrainian passport or other document proving identity and citizenship is required for the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The procedure is free of charge and the decision is issued electronically within 30 days of the application. It is possible to legalise the stay of an entire family on the basis of one application - all family members receive the same status and entitlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People with this status can benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holders of UKR status are required to report changes to their personal details and place of residence. The status is valid for 18 months, but an extension can be applied for before it expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the situation in Ukraine, the Polish government may decide to further extend temporary protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access to the labour market is unrestricted - holders of UKR status can work for any employer without having to obtain additional permits. They can also run their own business on the same basis as Polish citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have questions or problems with the procedure for obtaining UKR status, you can make use of the free legal advice offered by NGOs and the hotline launched by the Office for Foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This procedure makes it significantly easier for Ukrainian citizens to legalise their stay in Poland and provides them with access to basic rights and services during a crisis situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Legalizacja pobytu dla obywateli Ukrainy \u2013 najwa\u017cniejsze informacje Legalizacja pobytu dla obywateli Ukrainy w Polsce regulowana jest przede wszystkim przez ustaw\u0119 o pomocy obywatelom Ukrainy.
