You can learn about the expanded acceptable certifications and the benefits of these language skills in fostering integration and employability.
Poland is set to introduce new language rules that will impact foreign nationals seeking an EU Long-term Residence Permit. These rules, which will take effect on June 24, 2023, require applicants to demonstrate a confirmed knowledge of Polish at the B1 level.
This move aims to ensure that immigrants understand the country’s official language, fostering integration and communication within Polish society.
Expansion of Acceptable Language Certifications
Under the amended regulations, foreign nationals can now provide certificates from select private examinations and certificates indicating successful completion of internal language examinations at Polish universities.
These certificates will prove that the applicants possess at least B1-level proficiency in the Polish language.
Previously, the only acceptable forms of proof were passing a public examination in the Polish language or graduating from a Polish school or university.
Impetus for Change
The decision to broaden the acceptable range of language certifications is driven by a desire to streamline the application process for foreign nationals seeking long-term residence in Poland.
By recognising private examinations and internal university assessments, the Polish government aims to offer greater flexibility and accessibility to individuals who may have gained language skills through alternative means.
Benefits of the New Language Requirements
The introduction of these new language requirements is expected to yield several benefits. First and foremost, it will promote integration and enhance communication between foreign nationals and the local population.
By possessing a basic understanding of Polish, immigrants can engage more effectively in everyday activities, including work, education, and social interactions.
Moreover, the language proficiency requirement at the B1 level will contribute to the overall socio-economic development of Poland. It will ensure that foreign residents have a solid foundation in the language, which can facilitate their integration into the labour market and increase their employability.
By encouraging language acquisition, the Polish government aims to create a more inclusive and diverse society that can harness the full potential of its multicultural population.
Preparation and Implementation
To facilitate a smooth transition, the Polish government has provided a grace period, allowing applicants until June 24, 2023, to meet the new language requirements. During this period, individuals can take advantage of language courses and private examinations to attain proficiency.
It is recommended that foreign nationals who plan to apply for an EU Long-term Residence Permit begin preparing for the language assessment well in advance.
