As part of the “ELMC 2026 Warm-up” series, the Coalition of Polish Service Exporters Koalicja Polskich Eksporterów Usług (KPEU) and the European Labour Mobility Institute (ELMI) are hosting a webinar on the block on issuing visas and work permits for non-EU nationals employed by companies exercising the freedom to provide services in the EU.

For Polish service exporters, this means losing up to 24% of their workforce — an existential threat. For the economy, it means a potential loss of up to PLN 32 billion per year.

📅 18 February 2026 | 10:00–11:00 (CET)
🗣 Language: Polish

During the webinar we will discuss:
• the current administrative practice and its legal basis
• the impact on contract delivery and the competitiveness of service exporters
• the rules on posting non-EU nationals under EU law and Polish law
• short-term measures to mitigate the effects of the block

This is one of the key topics of the European Labour Mobility Congress 2026 (11–12 March, Warsaw).
The debate starts online. We continue in Warsaw. 🧩
