Legalisation of residence in Poland - how to get started? A practical guide with the help of the agency

How to start the process of legalising your stay in Poland? Step by step guide

Are you planning a longer stay in Poland and want to avoid unnecessary problems? Legalizing your stay is the first and most important step to feel safe and at ease. As an agency with many years of experience, we help you go through the whole process quickly, efficiently and without stress.

1. Determine the purpose of the stay

The first step is to find out why you want to stay in Poland for the long term. The most common reasons are:

  • work,
  • study,
  • family reunification,
  • conducting business.

This will determine what type of application is right for you.

2. Prepare documents

For an application for legalisation of residence you most often need:

  • a valid passport,
  • a completed application (we help you complete it correctly!),
  • up-to-date biometric photos,
  • documents confirming the purpose of the stay (e.g. employment contract, study certificate),
  • proof of financial means and health insurance.

At our agency, we help to complete all the required documents and check that they meet current legal requirements.

3. submit an application to the office

The application must be submitted in person to the provincial office with jurisdiction over your place of residence. We will make sure that you have all the documents and are prepared for your visit to the office. We can also accompany you when you submit your application.

4. fingerprints and awaiting decision
