The metaverse, as an evolving digital environment combining virtual and physical realities, poses new challenges to administrative law systems. This paper examines whether current regulations are sufficient in light of rapidly advancing immersive technologies. It identifies regulatory gaps concerning personal data protection, jurisdiction, intellectual property, and the functioning of public administration in digital environments. The author highlights the need for internationalization of administrative law, the development of unified definitions, and the creation of flexible, interdisciplinary legislative strategies. The findings presented may serve as a basis for reforming administrative law in the age of virtual spaces.
