It Will Be Harder to get Citizenship. The Ministry of the Interior and Administration Is Tightening the Rules

The Ministry of the Interior and Administration is preparing changes to the rules governing the acquisition of Polish citizenship by abroad nationals. The draft proposal calls for, among another things, extending the required period of legal residence in Poland, raising the required level of Polish language proficiency from B1 to B2, and introducing a citizenship test. The ministry besides aims to strengthen the verification of foreigners’ ties to Poland and grow the grounds for denying citizenship.
