Grant indefinite Polish residency to third-country nationals after 5+ years continuous legal residence and B1 language proficiency, with unrestricted work authorization.
The EU Long-Term Resident's Permit provides indefinite residence to third-country nationals with five or more years continuous legal residence in Poland. Applicants must demonstrate B1-level Polish language competency and maintain stable monthly income of at least PLN 1,010. This permit removes employment-specific restrictions and enables mobility rights across other EU member states.
The residence card is valid for five years and renewable indefinitely. Processing takes up to six months from submission of all formal requirements. Fees total 740 PLN (640 PLN stamp duty plus 100 PLN card issuance). Work authorization and remote work are fully permitted; dependents may reside with the holder.
This visa is ideal for long-term residents seeking permanent, legally protected residence in Poland and unrestricted labor market access.
