Our Immigration Lawyers Help Foreigners from Outside the EU to Stay in Poland, We Will Help You Too!

Sure, if you are a foreigner, it is possible in two cases:

• you will get your PESEL number automatically if you registered your stay in Poland for longer than 30 days (we are talking about residence registration),
• you will submit an application to the Communal Office and prove that you cannot get residence registration or get your things done at the offices, as long as you do not have the PESEL number.

The Personal Identification Number called PESEL is an 11-digit number that allows to identify the person who owns it.

Repatriation means a “come back to the homeland” and is also one of a few means of acquiring Polish citizenship. The repatriation law is all about people who do not have Polish citizenship and it applies only to individuals who lived permanently in one of the following countries on January 1st 2001:

• Armenia,
• Azerbaijan,
• Georgia,
• Kazakhstan,
• Kyrgyzstan,
• Tajikistan,
• Turkmenistan,
• Uzbekistan,
• as well as the Russian Far East.

Of course it is. We will gladly help you achieve your goal, but keep in mind that it is much easier to get a permit to purchase real property if you have some ties with Poland, for instance: you live here temporarily or permanently or you are in a relationship with a Pole.

If a foreigner comes from a country outside the EU, he/she just needs to meet one of the following requirements:

• a temporary, permanent or a residence permit for EU long-term resident,
• a refugee status,
• a Pole’s Card

so that he/she can open a business in Poland. All that is needed in this case is entering into the Register of Entrepreneurs of KRS or CEiDG and voila!

A Pole’s Card can be obtained by an individual who has at least one parent or grandparent who is/was a Pole or two Polish great grandparents and can prove his/her tie with so-called Polishness: he/she knows basic Polish and customs. Please note that the Pole’s Card may be granted also to a person who has been very active (for at least 3 years) in the life of a Polish Diaspora when it comes to working towards knowledge on the Polish language and culture as well.

The citizenship may be granted to individuals who live in Poland and meet at least one of the following requirements, for instance: they are in a relationship with a Pole, they have Polish origin, they work here, or they were granted a refugee status.

Type A is all about most jobs performed in Poland, type B is designed for board members or those leading a company.

It is valid for a fixed term, but no longer than 3 years.

It confirms that a foreigner stays legally in our country. It also allows you to cross Polish borders without the need for a visa. 

It depends on the situation of a foreigner – for instance how long he/she has lived in Poland – thus he/she may be granted a temporary, permanent or residence permit for EU long-term resident. There are also two other types: a permit for stay for humanitarian reasons and a permit for tolerated stay.

Everything depends on the kind of Residence Card you have and why it was issued. To sum up: it might be necessary to grant you a work permit, this needs to be checked by us.
