Georgian crime in Poland – numbers that shock
According to the data cited by ‘Rzeczpospolita’, last year 2714 Georgian citizens committed crimes in Poland. Given that they legally reside in the country around 27 thousand, which means that 10% of the Georgian population in Poland had legal problems.
By comparison, among the citizens of Ukraine or Belarus – who are besides not blameless – the scale of the phenomenon is much smaller. Experts indicate that 1 of the key factors to facilitate the influx of criminals is no visa request for Georgians. A biometric passport is adequate to enter Poland – which unfortunately is utilized by people associated with criminal environments.
What crimes do Georgians commit?

- Stealing – 1111 cases

Georgian criminals – a crucial share of statistics
‘Rzeczpospolita’ emphasises that A comparatively tiny group of Georgian citizens is liable for all sixth crime committed by foreigners in Poland in 2023. This is simply a immense contribution that requires decisive action by the authorities.
Should Poland tighten the rules?
Faced with these data, the question arises whether Poland should not make changes in visa policy towards Georgians. deficiency of border control and ease of entry favour the influx of criminals, which affects the safety of average citizens.
Summary:
Statistics do not lie – every tenth Georgian in Poland has a conflict with the lawand the methods of action of certain criminal groups are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Will the government take steps to limit this wave of crime?
