🇵🇱 Poland

Family Reunification Visa

Residence permit for spouses, minor children, and other family members of foreigners legally residing in Poland. The sponsor must hold a residence permit valid for at least 2 years (or permanent residence/long-term EU residence). For spouses of Polish citizens, the residency requirement for the sponsor does not apply. Family members receive a temporary residence permit valid for up to 3 years with full work authorization. After 2 years of marriage and residence with a Polish spouse, the foreign partner can apply for permanent residence. Unmarried partners do not qualify — Poland does not recognize civil partnerships for immigration purposes.
