Another opportunity to obtain a residence permit in Poland is to become a student of a police school.
A police school is a vocational school where you can learn a sought-after profession in 2-5 semesters and start working.
Among the documents required for admission is a high school diploma (those who obtained it in Poland usually also take the Matura – the maturity exam).
Upon completion of the police school, graduates have grounds for legal residence in Poland, access to the labor market, and no need to take an exam for a certificate confirming knowledge of the Polish language.
When choosing a school for obtaining a residence permit, it is necessary to check its accreditation in the MEN registry https://rspo.gov.pl/.
To obtain a residence permit through a police school, you need to collect documents.
