Summary/Abstract: In common parlance, the most important operational goal set for migration policy is to manage the streams of international migration in such a way as to achieve strategic goals in the social, economic or political arena. The subject of such a policy, and at the same time its author, main actor and executor, is the state. Poland, in the middle of the decade of the 2020s, is in a situation of profound backwardness when it comes to constructing a traditional migration policy. In order to take advantage of the backwardness rent, the promotion of regional development should be pointed out to, as one of the goals of migration policy. This policy should be aimed at the growth of the most important of development capitals – human capital – and its key element should be a system of administrative incentives for immigrants urging them to live in regions in a need of special support.
