Changes in the rules for crossing the border

It is reported that the changes will also affect the rules for registering Ukrainians in Poland – Refugees must apply for a PESEL number certifying provisional protection within 30 days of arrival. This can now be done within 90 days of arrival.

The control of the payout system will also be strengthened. If a Ukrainian with temporary protection status leaves Poland for more than 30 days in one trip, he will lose the status and the right to benefits.

We also recall that from January 1, 2023, Germany will increase the amount of financial assistance that Ukrainian refugees will receive on an equal basis with the Germans. Due to inflation, the amount of payments is planned to increase by €53.
