What is residence permit and permanent residence: main differences

Residence permit in Poland is a status that allows a foreigner to reside and stay in the country for a certain period of time. This status can be granted for various purposes, such as work, study, family circumstances or others.

The main features of a residence permit:

• Temporary status. A residence permit is a temporary status that provides for a limited period of residence in the country. The validity of the visa depends on the specific purpose and conditions under which it is granted.
• Limited access to social rights. Persons with a residence permit have limited access to social programs and services compared to Polish citizens.
• Dependence on the purpose of the visa. The rights and obligations of a residence permit holder may differ depending on the purpose for which the visa was granted.

Permanent residence in Poland is a higher level of status granted to foreigners that allows them to become permanent residents of the country.

The main features of permanent residence:

• Sustainable residence. Permanent residence gives a foreigner the right to reside in Poland for an unlimited period of time, which allows him/her to intervene in various spheres of life.
• More social rights. With permanent residence, a foreigner receives more social rights that allow him/her to use almost the same services and programs as Polish citizens.
• Unlimited work. Usually, permanent residence allows a foreigner to work in Poland without restrictions and special permits.
