The information provided in this article is dated 30.11.2022 and changes very quickly, so before traveling, please check the latest information from official sources, such as the embassy and the border guard service.
According to the latest changes in Polish legislation, Ukrainians who entered Poland after February 24 and have the following documents:
- Foreign passport;
- PESEL;
- Profil zaufany.
Have the right to leave for Ukraine once a month for a period not exceeding 30 days.
Considering the practical application of this regulation, the Border Guard may take into account the frequency (number of entries/exits to Poland) within the 30-day limit.
According to information provided by Diya.Business, if you left for Ukraine for less than 30 days for personal/domestic matters, you should be allowed back, BUT the final decision is up to the Polish Border Guard (so there is no 100% guarantee). Regarding the guarantee of re-entry to Poland if your visit to Ukraine lasted less than 30 days, here is a quote from the Embassy:
“A citizen of Ukraine whose entry into the territory of the Republic of Poland from the territory of Ukraine is not related to military actions but is of a regular border movement nature is subject to border control under the principles defined in the Schengen Border Code (availability of a biometric passport and compliance with the stay corridor of up to 90 days within 180 days).”
From this, it can be concluded that crossing the border with suspicious regularity will not be allowed. One-time justified trips to Ukraine and back should not raise any questions or complications.
Representatives of the organizations *ZUS, NFZ guarantee that as long as the person returns to Poland before the expiration of the term, they will not be deprived of any privileges provided by them (insurance).
“At the same time, if you leave for a period longer than 30 days, meaning you do not return to Poland, you must inform ZUS by sending a POG letter.”
