Polish Citizenship by Marriage
A foreigner may be eligible for Polish citizenship if they marry a Polish citizen. However, obtaining citizenship in this way does not happen automatically. To do so, it is necessary to be married to a Polish citizen for at least 3 years and continuously reside in Poland for 2 years.
Marriage to a Polish citizen can be contracted in another country, but in Poland, it will need to be legalized, and documents replaced with Polish ones. In the case of changing the surname, old documents will remain valid for one month.
Documents Required to Apply for Polish Citizenship by Marriage:
- Completed application form for citizenship;
- a photo sized 3.5x4.5 cm, taken no later than 6 months before submitting the application;
