Who We Are
In response to the growing number of migrants in the local community and their identified needs, the Institute of Migrant Rights (Instytut Praw Migrantów – IPM) was established at 46a/202 Ruska Street in Wrocław. By the resolution of December 22, 2020, IPM continues to expand the operations of the information point for migrants, which has been in existence since 2017.
We address the issues and expectations of migrants in a comprehensive manner across two areas: the Information Point for Foreigners and professional activities in the field of migration law and social integration. The Infopoint’s activities focus on providing informational support to migrants regarding residency legalization, job search, and everyday life matters. As part of our professional activities, we prepare and share expert publications and collaborate with public entities and NGOs that work with migrants in Poland. The services of the IPM Information Point are free of charge and provided by experts in their fields, particularly specialists in migration law.
The IPM team consists of experienced specialists in work and residency legalization in Poland, lawyers, career advisors, and entrepreneurship experts. Services are available in four languages: Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and English. Moreover, our experts have their own migration experiences, which ensures a deep understanding of the clients’ needs and expectations.
