Poland deported a record number of foreigners: who is on the list.

Poland intensified deportations of foreigners

According to inkorr.com: In 2025, Poland significantly increased the number of deportations of foreign citizens who violate the law. In the first six months, 4,400 people were expelled from the country, which is 400 more than during the same period last year. In total, since the beginning of the year, 1,100 people had been forcibly removed, which is equal to the total number expelled throughout the previous year.

Among those who ended up on the undesirable list, the majority are from Ukraine, Georgia, Syria, Afghanistan, Belarus, and Russia. Recently, 15 Ukrainians who committed infractions were deported from Poland and are banned from returning for a period of 5 to 10 years.

'We must count the money of our taxpayers, and there is no reason for convicted foreigners to be sitting in our prisons,' said General Adam Rapacki, former deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland.

The 'zero tolerance' policy towards foreigners violating the law is a response to the significant uncontrolled influx of migrants into the country in recent years, experts explain.

Poland is actively increasing the number of deportations of foreigners against the backdrop of a surge in migration flows, particularly the number of Ukrainians among undesirable individuals is rising.

The growing number of deportations and the strict policy towards foreigners in Poland are part of a broader strategy aimed at controlling migration flows and ensuring security in the country. These measures reflect the Polish government's concerns about the potential social and economic consequences of mass migration, which has been a topic of active discussions in recent years.
