Permanent residence and long-term EU resident status
A permanent residence permit is issued for an indefinite period, though the residence card itself must be renewed every ten years. Long-term EU resident status is a separate procedure, available after an uninterrupted stay in Poland.
Who this is for
- Holders of the Pole's Card
- Spouses of Polish citizens, after the required period of marriage and residence
- Children of Polish citizens or of people with a permanent residence permit
- People after the required period of uninterrupted legal stay

An indicative list — the exact documents depend on the basis of the application.
- A completed application and four photographs
