Obtaining a Permanent Residence Card Based on the Polish Card
The client approached us with a question regarding obtaining a permanent residence card without having documents proving Polish descent or affiliation with the Polish nation. To obtain this document, it is necessary to provide confirmation of Polish origin or affiliation with the Polish nation. There are several ways to confirm Polish origin or obtain the right to the Polish Card.
Main Ways to Obtain the Polish Card
- Polish Origin: One of the parents, grandparents, or both great-grandparents must be Polish. In this case, it is necessary to provide documents proving Polish descent, such as birth certificates, records, or archival documents.
- Participation in Polish Organizations: Another way to obtain the Polish Card is through active participation in Polish cultural or social organizations, such as the Union of Poles in Belarus or other similar associations. Recommendations from such organizations are required to confirm one's activities for the benefit of the Polish community.
Document Submission Process for the Polish Card
- Document Collection: First, all available documents confirming Polish descent or participation in Polish organizations must be gathered. For example, birth certificates, marriage certificates, records, and other archival documents, as well as recommendation letters from organizations.
- Document Submission: After gathering all necessary documents, the application must be submitted to the relevant authority responsible for issuing the Polish Card. This process may require a personal interview with a consul or local government representative.
