The permanent residence permit is another alternative for legalising your stay in Poland once your visa, visa-free travel, or current temporary residence card expires.
The permanent residence permit is valid for an endless duration, which implies that a foreigner with a permanent residence card can stay in Poland indefinitely without having to apply for additional residence permits. Permanent resident permits are divided into two categories:
- Long-term resident's EU residence permit – for foreigners residing in Poland for over 5 years who want to obtain the right to stay indefinitely in Poland;
- Permanent residence permit – for foreigners who want to obtain a permanent residence permit, which entitles to an indefinite stay in Poland (applies to among others: a minor child of a Polish citizen, a minor child of a foreigner who has been granted a permanent residence permit or a long-term resident's EU residence permit, spouse of a Polish citizen, person of Polish origin, holder of a valid Pole's Card).
We may also be able to assist you in obtaining Polish citizenship.
If you are a foreigner with a valid residence permit in Poland and want to become a Polish citizen, you can do so by:
- Granting Polish citizenship by the President of Poland – the decisions of the President of Poland is discretionary, do not require justification and are not subject to appeal;
- Recognition as a Polish citizen – it refers to foreigners, who want to acquire Polish citizenship by way of recognition by the appropriate Voivode and meet the special requirements (e.g. stay in Poland continuously for at least 3 years on the basis of a permanent residence permit).
