A spouse of a Polish citizen

A permanent residence permit for the spouse of a Polish citizen is granted to a person who has had an uninterrupted residence in the territory of Poland for a period of no less than 2 years on the basis of a temporary residence permit granted in connection with being married to that Polish citizen, and at least 3 years have passed since the marriage was concluded.
The application for granting a permanent residence permit must be submitted in person, no later than the last day of your legal stay in the territory of Poland.
If the application is submitted on time and includes no formal deficiencies, or you supplement any formal deficiencies within the specified time limit, your stay shall be legal from the date of submission of the application until the date on which the final decision in your case is issued.

Please submit documents in the original (for inspection) or in a certified copy. If you send documents via postal service, send them in the original with a request for their return after our official use – the original documents will be sent back to you after the proceedings are completed.
When submitting or sending documents to an ongoing case, use the covering letter that includes your name, date of birth, and the case number.
This will ensure that the documents are added to your case file more quickly.
 

Documents required to obtain a stamp in the passport (i.e., formal requirements):
•    an application form in 1 copy, completed online in the Case Handling Module or in accordance with the instructions (application form available for download).
•    4 photographs,
•    a photocopy of a valid travel document (original copy for inspection). In a particularly justified case, if you do not have a valid travel document and are unable to obtain one, you may present another document confirming your identity.
To initiate the proceedings, proof of payment of the stamp duty is also required.

Documents required to be granted the permit:
•    Certified copy of a marriage certificate registered in the Polish Civil Registry Office.
All documents must be submitted in the original or a certified copy.

The residence card is issued after you have received your decision with your permit.
