Avalanche increase in the number of unwanted foreigners. There are already 40,971 names on the list.

The number of foreigners banned from entering Poland and the Schengen area has surged, with Ukrainians topping the list. Various offenses, from criminal activities to visa violations, lead to inclusion on the blacklist. The Polish authorities have adopted a stricter approach, resulting in a significant increase in deportations. Notably, Syrians also appear prominently on the list, primarily due to border crossing issues and EU sanctions. The overall trend reflects a growing intolerance for legal violations among foreigners, with a record increase in the number of individuals deemed undesirable in Poland this year.
