Poland Proposes Stricter Immigration Laws Amid Border Crisis

Poland

#policy

The Polish government has introduced new bills to tighten immigration rules, following the temporary suspension of asylum rights. Prime Minister Donald Tusk cited a "hybrid war" at the Polish-Belarusian border, accusing Belarus of using migration to destabilize the region.

Poland plans to prioritize asylum for vulnerable groups, including children and victims of violence while limiting applications to official border crossings. New measures aim to curb abuse of student visa pathways and the "immigration industry."

Though criticized by human rights groups, Tusk's stance has gained EU support. Discussions on stricter immigration laws are set to continue at upcoming EU summits.

Russia

#tourism

Russia is planning to allow Indian tourists to enter without visas by spring 2025. Discussions between the two nations aim to finalize a visa-free group tourist agreement. Currently, Indian nationals need visas for Russia, with many finding the process complex.

In the first half of 2024, 28,500 Indians visited Moscow, marking a significant rise from 2023. The move is expected to boost tourism and strengthen diplomatic and economic ties. Since 2023, Indians have been eligible for e-visas, with 9,500 issued so far. Talks for this agreement began in June 2024, with finalization expected by year-end.

Australian Treasury Adjusts Net Migration Forecast to 340,000 for 2024-2025

Australia

#immigration

The Australian Treasury has raised its net migration forecast for 2024-2025 to 340,000, reflecting the strong labour market and ongoing immigration policies. This revision follows underestimating the 2023-2024 migration figures.

The new forecast assumes a net migration decline of over 105,000 within a year, which remains ambitious given employer and state sponsorships and new visa initiatives. For 2025-2026, net migration is projected to drop further to 255,000.

Experts argue that reducing net migration below 300,000 would require significant and controversial policy changes. Political considerations, including the upcoming Federal Election, influence these projections. Critics highlight past forecasting inaccuracies by the Treasury.
