Border procedure (border and transit zones)

There is no border asylum procedure in Poland. Moreover, on 27 March 2025, the right to apply for international protection on the Belarusian border was suspended for the first time for 60 days – the measure has been extended several times and remains in force as of April 2026 and can be further prolonged.[1] For detailed information, see Access to the territory and pushbacks.
