Poland is becoming a multicultural country. According to the Central Statistical Office data for 2022, more than 1 million immigrants work in our country; they come mainly from Ukraine, but many besides came from Muslim countries and Asia.

According to the Central Statistical Office, the number of foreigners employed in Poland by the end of 2022 amounted to 1,004 400 people. This is almost a double increase compared to the erstwhile year, in which the figure included 571.8 1000 people. The share of immigrants in the full number of workers increased from 5.2% in January 2022 to 6.5% in December 2022.

Most are Ukrainians and Belarusians

Foreign workers came from over 150 countries. The largest group were Ukrainians; their share in the number of foreigners doing work was around 73 percent. The second place included Belarusians with 10.1%. The remainder were citizens from Muslim countries, with 135,602 work permits issued in 2022. The majority were Uzbeks (approximately 25% of all permits from Muslim countries), Turks (about 18%) and Bangladeshi (about 10%).

Visitors from many countries have easier access to the labour marketplace in Poland. The citizens of Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine may legally work on the basis of the employer's declaration of entrustment of work without the request to be authorised by the State. Furthermore, for Ukrainian citizens and their spouses, a simpler legalisation of employment was introduced if they arrived in Poland from 24 February 2022.

According to the State economical Institute, in 2018 Poland was the largest labour marketplace among OECD countries hosting temporary workers from another countries. In 2020, despite the coronavirus pandemic, there was an increase in the number of foreigners employed in Poland. The study noted that in terms of the number of temporary economical migrants, we have overtaken the United States and Germany.

Immigrants transfer billions of PLN to their countries

These figures should be supplemented by the statistic on how much money foreigners made in Poland then transferred abroad. According to the latest information provided by the National Bank of Poland, in the first 4th of 2021 foreigners working in Poland transferred almost PLN 5 billion abroad. 80% of this amount went to Ukraine. In turn, little than PLN 3.8 billion came from Poles who work abroad. Immigrants carry immense amounts to their countries, supporting the home economy at the expense of Poland.
