It will be harder to obtain Polish citizenship. The government wants to tighten the regulations.

The Polish government is advancing a long-anticipated amendment to the citizenship law, introducing stricter criteria for obtaining Polish citizenship. Key changes include the ability to revoke citizenship based on false documentation or statements during the application process. The amendment also extends the required period of legal residence and introduces a loyalty declaration and a citizenship test. Additionally, it sets minimum income requirements and raises the Polish language proficiency level from B1 to B2. The changes aim to address the increasing number of foreigners in Poland and ensure integration into Polish society.
