Summary: Poland has reported a sharp decline in illegal border crossings from Belarus, with only 158 attempts in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 3,306 in the same period of 2022—a drop of nearly 96%. The government attributes this to stricter migration policies, increased border security investment, and daily efforts by Border Guard officers.

Authorities also emphasized the role of legal measures, including the temporary suspension of the right to asylum, which they say had been abused by migrants attempting illegal entry.

Despite the decrease, Poland continues to strengthen border controls, maintaining physical barriers, surveillance systems, and temporary checks at borders with Germany and Lithuania. The government stressed that vigilance remains essential, citing ongoing risks such as violent border incidents and attempts to bypass security through tunnels.
