STAY IN POLAND
LEGALIZE YOUR
STAY IN POLAND
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.
As part of our services:
- we verify what solution you can use to legalize your stay in Poland;
- we prepare documents required in the course of proceedings;
- we represent you before administrative authorities during the entire process of legalizing your stay;
- We also handle other matters related to your stay in the country on your behalf, including: obtaining work permits or permits to purchase real estate in Poland;
- in the event of a decision to oblige you to leave the country, we represent you in appeal proceedings before the Commander-in-Chief of the Border Guard, seeking to obtain a stay permit for humanitarian reasons or a tolerated stay permit, if possible, in your case;
- we provide you with assistance and legal advice;
- we represent you in matters such as: granting a permanent residence permit, stay permit, residence of a long-term EU resident, issuing and replacing a residence card, obliging a foreigner to return or obtaining information on placing data in the list of foreigners whose stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland is undesirable, or the Schengen Information System for the purpose of refusing entry.
STAY PERMIT
We will help you legalize your stay in the country. You can apply for a temporary residence (stay) permit due to:
- working in Poland;
- running a business in Poland;
- education or vocational training in Poland;
- rejoining your family;
- marriage to a Polish citizen.
Staying in Poland illegally? We will check whether there are grounds for granting you a permit due to so-called “other circumstances” – including the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child or the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
Or maybe your current permit is expiring? We will help you obtain another one and stay in Poland legally.
PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT
A lawyer from our law firm will guide you through the entire process of obtaining the permanent residence permit. Poland will become your new home, and you will gain more opportunities to arrange your life in the country.
A permanent residence permit may be the first step towards working on the same terms as Polish citizens, running your own business, legalizing the stay of your loved ones in the country or obtaining Polish citizenship.
LONG-TERM EU RESIDENT PERMIT
Have you been working in Poland for years or running a business here? If:
- you have resided in Poland legally and continuously for at least 5 years;
- you have a sufficient source of stable and regular income;
- you have health insurance and;
- you will confirm your knowledge of the Polish language
– you can apply for a long-term EU resident permit. Thanks to this, you will gain, among others: the opportunity to run your own business in all legal forms and develop it under the same conditions as Polish entrepreneurs.
LOOKING FOR A LAWYER IN WARSAW?
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.
