Summary/Abstract: In the wake of Poland's joining the European Union the problem of migration must be viewed from the perspective of the enlarged Union, bordering on new neighbors. At present Poland is in the group of states where the percentage of illegal immigrants is the smallest. In the other member-countries of the EU the problem of illegally staying foreigners is much more severe. In 2003 there were 6,903 applications to grant the status of refugee in Poland, submitted at the Department of Repatriation and Foreigners. In the EU, it can be noticed, for some time now there has been implemented a stricter and stricter policy towards foreigners' staying on the territory of the member- countries. This is connected, primarily, with the question of internal safety of particular states and also with the economic aspect.
