Planning to marry a Polish citizen? Planning to study in Poland?
Or maybe you miss your children or other family members and want them to be able to stay in the country legally?
Only with a residence/stay permit you can feel safe and secure, build a life in the country and advance your career. Legalization of stay in Poland, however, involves a complex administrative procedure which may prove to be a big challenge for a foreign national.
If an experienced attorney helps you in this process, you don’t have to deal with everything yourself. You can also be sure that you are exercising all your rights and that your case will be concluded as quickly as possible.
Our law firm has been helping foreign nationals legalize their stay for years. We know how stressful and frustrating contacting officials and waiting for a decision may be. That’s why, as immigration lawyers, we assist our clients throughout the entire process, representing them in their dealings with administrative authorities and using tools such as a reminder or a complaint for inaction to streamline the entire procedure.

Although Warsaw, and even more so the entire Masovian Voivodeship is full of attorneys, few of them handle immigration law cases. We, on the other hand, have been helping people from abroad handle matters related to their legal residence in Poland for two decades. Thanks to over 20 years of experience, we are able to take on particularly complex cases. At our law firm located in the Śródmieście district (downtown), we work based on 3 fundamental principles, such as integrity, flexibility, and empathy. We want every client to feel confident and safe with us, so we carefully explain the current situation, present realistic scenarios and keep you informed about the progress of your case. Like these principles of cooperation? If so, contact us and tell us how we can help you.
A permanent residence permit may be obtained by those who meet the conditions listed in Art. 195 of the Act on Foreigners. They will include, among others: children staying under the parental authority of a Polish citizen, a foreigner with a permanent residence permit or a long-term resident of the EU, spouses of Polish citizens and foreigners of Polish origin, refugees, as well as persons of Polish origin who intend to settle permanently in Poland.
A temporary residence permit may be obtained by a foreigner who intends to stay in Poland for longer than 3 months. They are issued for a maximum of 3 years, upon application submitted to the department responsible for foreigners at the voivodeship office. It is not possible to extend the permit – if a foreigner wants to legally stay in Poland longer than the validity period of the permit, they must apply for a new one.
