Comprehensive legalisation of foreign nationals' residence on the basis of family ties with a Polish citizen
A foreign national's residence in Poland on the basis of family relations with a Polish citizen requires the submission of appropriate documents and meeting the criteria set by the authorities. At Good Balance we run a comprehensive process of legalising family-based residence — from gathering the documents to obtaining the administrative decision.
The temporary residence permit with a Polish citizen is intended for spouses, children, financially dependent relatives and persons living a shared family life with a Polish citizen residing in Poland. It requires demonstrating the genuine nature of the relationship and meeting the residence conditions.
We help to gather and prepare the documentation, file the application with the Voivodeship Office and conduct correspondence on your behalf. We represent you in administrative proceedings and provide support in the event of requests for additional documents, interviews or refusals.
We take over the formalities, advise on selecting documents that confirm the bond with the Polish citizen and ensure the continuity of legal residence in Poland.

The temporary residence permit with a Polish citizen is intended for foreign nationals who reside in Poland on the basis of family ties with a Polish citizen.
Basics
The permit may be granted to a foreign national whose residence in Poland results from a family relationship with a Polish citizen.
For whom
The application concerns foreign nationals whose family situation justifies residence in Poland with a Polish citizen.
The application together with the attachments is filed with the competent Voivodeship Office. Complete documentation and documents confirming the purpose of residence are required.
Authority
The completed and signed form together with the required attachments must be filed with or sent to the competent Voivodeship Office.
Required
Formal documents and documents confirming the purpose of residence in Poland must be attached to the application.
The scope of documents depends on the foreign national's family situation and the basis for applying for the permit.
In the case of marriage or a family relationship, the authority may require documents confirming the bond with the Polish citizen.
We help to select documents appropriate for the specific basis of residence.
To confirm the genuine nature of the relationship, documents regarding shared life in Poland may be needed.
We prepare the documentation so that it is clear and consistent for the authority.
In some cases it is necessary to demonstrate financial dependence, the need for care or a stable residence situation.
We verify the completeness of the attachments to reduce the risk of requests for additional documents.
The lack of required documents may result in a request for them to be supplemented. If the documents are not supplemented within the set deadline, the application may be left without examination.
Let's talk about your family situation — we will prepare the documents, file the application and see the process through to the end.
Thanks to cooperation with Good Balance, the legalisation of family-based residence becomes simpler, safer and more predictable.
