By the end of 2013 there were 121,2 hundreds legal foreigners in Poland – indicates the data provided by The Office for Foreigners, the state institution responsible for issuing the stay permits. However, this data does not include people staying in Poland illegally, but also those who visit Poland for seasonal jobs, and stay longer than half of a year.
The report of Ośrodek Badań nad Migracjami Foundation draws conclusion that immigrants in Poland most often settle in greatest cities of Poland, where international companies employing foreigners have their headquarters and where are the universities.
In Lower Silesian district of Poland lives 7,5 % foreigners with permanent stay permits. The biggest group are Ukrainians, then Koreans (799 persons – due to establishment of LG factory and its subcontractors in Kobierzyce).
Foreigners who need help may turn to different non-governmental organizations or state institutions like Office for Foreigners, Social-Welfare Centres, embassies. There are also formal and informal groups organized by migrants themselves (operating on social media portals like Facebook).
