EU Resident Card

The EU Resident Card in Poland is the most common way to legalize long-term residence for EU citizens and their family members who reside in Poland. To obtain such a card, permanent residence in Poland for a period of not less than 5 years is required. In addition, the applicant must meet the condition of having a Polish language certificate at B1 level, which confirms communicative ability in Polish.

The process of obtaining an EU resident card usually involves submitting an application to the relevant provincial office or contact point that handles foreigners’ affairs. The application must be submitted in person, and in the case of families applying jointly, the applicants must be present when the documents are submitted.

In addition to meeting the requirements related to length of stay and knowledge of the Polish language, a person applying for an EU resident card should provide a complete set of documents confirming his status and financial situation. These documents may include a valid passport, employment certificates, housing leases, health insurance policies and other documents proving your ability to support yourself.

It is important to apply for an EU resident card renewal before it expires, usually no later than 3 months before the expiration date.

The EU resident’s card entitles the holder to live and reside legally in Poland for a long period of time, giving the holder access to many rights and services, such as health, education or labor. However, it is worth noting that in some situations, such as a long-term absence from Poland, the EU resident’s card may expire, so it is important to follow the relevant regulations and deadlines.

The final decision on the granting of an EU resident card is made by the competent public administration and depends on the fulfillment of all the requirements and criteria set by law.
