Poland has announced plans to implement an electronic database for recording the entry and exit of non-European Union citizens starting from 2025.
Report informs via Rzeczpospolita that the electronic database will capture vital information such as the time and place of entry and exit of foreign nationals, automatically calculating their duration of stay in the country.
Additionally, the system will store data on entry refusals, cancellations or revocations of short-term stay permits, and deportations.
Access to this comprehensive database will be granted to key entities including the border guard, regional authorities, law enforcement agencies, departments for foreigners' affairs, and Polish consulates abroad. The system will be integrated with the European Union's new Entry/Exit System (EES), set to be operational by autumn 2024.
