Polish (EU) passports
Since Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004, there has been an increase of interest among people of Polish descent in obtaining a Polish passport. Polish citizenship makes it possible for them to reside, study, own property and gain employment in the European Union countries.
As a Polish citizen, you can live and work in any of the EU countries and enjoy free public health care and education. You can also gain access to preferential investment loans, employment schemes and you don't have to stand in the "Others" queue at airports!
Confirmation of Polish citizenship can be daunting, as those who have tried doing it by themselves will tell you! While the general rule is that if you have Polish ancestors then you are already a citizen of Poland, there are any number of reasons why your citizenship may have lapsed. This is why the Polish government requires you to confirm your citizenship before you can apply for your Polish passport.
Confirmation of citizenship is an administrative and not a legal process. The key to success is to check whether you are eligible in the first place, gather relevant documentation and submit it in the right way, to the right department in Poland. It requires your commitment and full cooperation but if you leave it to the experts, the journey, whilst long and at times frustrating, will lead to a successful conclusion. With Polaron, obtaining a Polish passport is a 3 step process:
1. Eligibility Assessment
We have spent the last 8 years compiling information that can predict your chances of obtaining your Polish citizenship. You can test your eligibility by conducting a low-risk, low-cost eligibility assessment procedure. Contact one of our consultants today to ask how your eligibility can be assessed.
2. Confirmation of Polish Citizenship
Once your eligibility is confirmed, a file containing your family's documents proving your ancestry is put together by Polaron. Everything is prepared in the Polish language, then submitted for assessment by the authorities in Poland. Most applications are processed within 12 months from the day of lodgment, though some do take longer.
3. Application for Polish Passport
To apply for your Polish passport, you will need your certificate of Polish citizenship and your Polish birth certificate (yes, even if you were not born in Poland!). We will guide you through this procedure and arrange for all the required documents, certificates and permits in due course.
Since the beginning of Polaron European Solutions we have lodged 100s of applications with a 99% success rate. Not only do Polaron consider and assess your specific circumstances, we also conduct genealogical research into your family to uncover important information that you may not have access to.
