Main Ways to Obtain Polish Citizenship

There are several ways to obtain Polish citizenship, each with its own characteristics and requirements. Depending on your situation, you can choose the most suitable option.

1. Birth. If one of your parents is Polish, the child automatically receives Polish citizenship. Polish citizenship is also granted if you were born in Poland, even if your parents are not Polish citizens. However, certain procedures must be followed to confirm citizenship.
2. Granting Citizenship. If you do not fall under the categories described above, you can apply to the President of Poland for citizenship. Typically, this request is made through the voivode or consul. However, the process of granting citizenship may take several years and requires additional procedures to confirm your status.
3. Recognition as a Polish Citizen. This is one of the most popular ways to obtain citizenship for those already residing in Poland. Certain residency conditions must be met:

• 3 years of legal residence in Poland.
• 2 years of legal residence and 3 years of marriage to a Polish citizen.
• 2 years of residence as a refugee in Poland.
• 1 year of residence based on Polish descent or the Pole's Card.

What Documents are Required for Obtaining Polish Citizenship?

To apply for Polish citizenship, a certain set of documents must be collected. Depending on the way citizenship is obtained, this list may vary, but here are the basic documents that may be required:

• Passport or other identification document.
• Proof of legal residence in Poland, such as visas, work permits, or residence permits.
• Marriage certificate (if you are married to a Polish citizen).
