Institute Of Migrant Rights

The IPM team consists of experienced lawyers, professionals and psychologists.

Who We Are

The Institute of Migrants’ Rights, located at Ruska 46a / 202 street in Wrocław, was established as a response to the growing percentage of migrants in Poland and their needs. In accordance with the resolution of December 22, 2020, IPM continues the development of the information point for migrants, which was established in 2017.

We comprehensively assess the problems and expectations of migrants and refugees, implementing them on two levels: an information point for foreigners and professional activities in the field of migration law and social integration. The activity of the information point is based on information support in matters of legalization, stay, job search and everyday matters. As part of our professional activity, we create and publish expert articles, as well as cooperate with state and non-governmental organizations dealing with migrants in Poland. The helpdesk services are free of charge and provided by experts in their field, primarily specialists in migration law.

The IPM team consists of experienced lawyers, career counselors and psychologists. We advise in 4 languages: Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and English. In addition, experts have their own migration experience, which ensures a special understanding of the client’s needs and expectations.
