Required documents
Who can apply for EU residency?
A foreigner who has been staying in Poland legally for at least 5 years without interruption immediately before applying for a long-term resident card.
A foreigner's stay in Poland is considered continuous if:
- None of the interruptions exceeded six months;
- All interruptions during 5 years did not exceed 10 months.
What conditions must be met to become an EU resident?
- Availability of a regular source of income (It is necessary to prove stable and regular income for the last 3 years before applying);
- Availability of health insurance;
- Proof of knowledge of Polish language at a level not lower than B1;
- Other documents.
How can I prove my knowledge of the Polish language?
There are many options on how to do this: from passing a state exam to obtaining a certificate of qualification as a sworn interpreter.
Our experienced lawyers will analyze your situation and help you choose the most appropriate option.
Why apply for an EU resident card when you can get an hourly residence card?
In contrast to an residence permit, which is issued for a period of one to three years (further it is necessary to re-collect a package of documents and apply for a new hourly residence card), a long-term resident's residence permit is issued to a foreigner indefinitely, but the card itself must be changed every 5 years.
