Migration lawyer in Poland
Poland attracts Ukrainians due to its cultural proximity, economic opportunities and simplified migration procedures. The law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” will help you legally register your stay in Poland, as well as obtain temporary protection, a residence permit or Polish citizenship.
Why choose Poland for migration?
Poland has become one of the most popular destinations for Ukrainians to move to. According to 2025 data, about 2 million Ukrainian citizens live in Poland, including refugees and those who arrived in the country earlier. Many of them choose this country due to its stable economy, territorial proximity, access to the European labor market and opportunities for integration. Our company helps Ukrainians realize their migration plans, offering support in processing documents from temporary protection to Polish citizenship.
It should be noted that obtaining Polish citizenship is possible through naturalization, which requires at least 3 years of continuous residence on the basis of a permanent residence card. For those who have Polish roots, a simplified procedure is available through the Pole’s Card, which allows you to obtain citizenship after a year of residence. The lawyers of our company will help you assess your capabilities and choose the best path for legalization.
What are the entry rules to Poland for Ukrainians?
Ukrainian citizens can enter Poland without a visa, which makes the initial stage of migration much easier. According to the visa-free regime, you have the right to stay in Poland for up to 90 days within 180 days. This requires a valid passport with a validity of at least 6 months. After this period, you must apply for a residence permit, such as a residence card, or apply for temporary protection.
Failure to timely process documents may result in administrative sanctions. We will help you avoid such risks by ensuring that all necessary documents for entry and stay in Poland are correctly completed.
How to obtain temporary protection in Poland?
Temporary protection in Poland is available to Ukrainian citizens who arrived after February 24, 2022 due to the war. This status is provided together with the PESEL UKR number, which provides access to social services, work and education. In 2025, Poland plans to introduce a special CUKR card for Ukrainians under temporary protection. This card will be valid for 3 years and will allow legal residence and work, as well as faster integration into Polish society.
Having temporary protection, it is possible to apply for a residence permit based on its availability, in particular, through additional protection, which is one of the options for legalization. Our lawyers will help you understand the conditions for obtaining temporary protection and prepare the necessary documents to obtain a residence card.
What are the grounds for obtaining a residence card?
A residence card is a document that legalizes your stay in Poland on a temporary or permanent basis, and also allows you to stay in its territory for more than 90 days. The main reasons for obtaining it include:
- Work or business. Official employment or opening your own company in Poland is a common basis for obtaining a temporary residence card, which is issued for 1-3 years.
- Education. Students who study at Polish universities can apply for a residence card for the period of their studies.
- Family reunification. If your husband/wife or children have a residence permit in Poland, you can apply for a residence card for reunification.
- Polish origin. People with Polish roots can apply for a Pole’s card and a permanent residence card, which is a step towards citizenship.
Each basis requires careful preparation of documents such as a lease agreement, employment contract or certificate of marital status. Our company’s lawyers will ensure the correct preparation of documents and applications, as well as the necessary support in Polish government agencies.
How to obtain Polish citizenship?
Obtaining Polish citizenship opens access to all the rights of an EU citizen, including visa-free travel to 187 countries. Naturalization requires at least 3 years of residence on the basis of a permanent residence card, a stable income, knowledge of Polish at level B1 and a legal right to housing. For persons married to a Polish citizen, the period is reduced to 2 years, provided the marriage has lasted 3 years.
Persons with Polish roots have access to a simplified procedure through the Pole’s Card or direct registration of permanent residence based on documents confirming Polish roots. The permanent residence card confirms the connection with Polish culture and people, and also allows you to obtain citizenship after a year of residence with a permanent residence card. We specialize in issues of registration of citizenship based on Polish roots and will help you collect the necessary documents, including birth certificates of ancestors, archival certificates, and prepare for the relevant interviews in the process of registration of citizenship.
