Overview

Reunite with family members holding temporary residence permits in Poland within 15–30 working days.

This is a national visa for family reunification in Poland, designed for spouses and minor children of individuals holding a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). The sponsoring TRP holder must demonstrate sufficient financial means and housing to support the family. The visa allows family members to reside together in Poland during the sponsor's permit validity.

The visa is renewable and grants work authorization to spouses. The standard fee is 200 EUR. Applications are processed in 15–30 working days. Family members apply through the Polish consulate, with the TRP holder acting as the petitioner.

This visa is ideal for foreign spouses and dependent children of TRP holders who wish to establish family residence in Poland.
