What nationalities are most interested in Poland immigration?

As a general rule, most of the persons moving to Poland are citizens from the European region, but citizens of farther regions, such as Vietnam or the United States of America (USA) can also be found here. According to the Regulation (EC) 862/2007 of the European Parliament, immigration is defined as a process in which a citizen who has his or her residency in a country wants to relocate to another country for a period of at least 12 months. Currently, the demographic structure of the immigrants living in Poland is given by the following:

• the highest rate of foreigners is represented by the citizens of Ukraine – in 2016, a total of 17,690 persons relocated to Poland, while in 2018, their number increased at 31,807;
• the second most important group of immigrants is from the United Kingdom (UK), with 5,018 persons arriving here in 2017 and 5,304 in 2018;
• German citizens are the 3rd most important group of immigrants – there were 3,842 immigrants in 2017 and 4,756 in 2018;
• Belarus accounted for 1,530 persons in 2017 and for 2,756 persons in 2018;

Why address us for obtaining a work permit or a residence permit in Poland?

There are a number of reasons for which a foreigner should address a professional team of lawyers when applying for a residence permit or a work permit in this country. These are some of the most common documents used for moving to Poland. Considering that each type of document needs specific papers that the applicant must submit and given that various rules of law and procedures will apply, it is of high importance for the applicant to know all the legal requirements that he or she must expect.

For instance, one should apply for a temporary residence permit if his or her intent is to stay in this country for a period longer than 3 months. Granted that the person will have an employment obligation while living here, the person must also be the holder of a work permit, issued for the period for which the contract is available.

In the case of those moving to Poland for a long-term basis, other requirements will apply, and this is why we highly recommend you request legal advice on your current immigration situation from our team of lawyers. We can advise you on the list of documents you must submit, and we can explain the entire process and the steps that will lead to the issuance of the respective permit.
