The Act aims to implement into Polish law the Directive (EU) 2016/801 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, training, voluntary service, pupil exchange schemes or educational projects and au pairing (recast version).
Nevertheless, the Act does not provide for admission to schoolchildren participating in school exchanges or educational projects and for accepting foreigners to work as an au pair, as well as for volunteering other than European volunteering, ie in the optional directory of foreigners covered by the Directive.
