Mechanisms for obtaining permanent residence in Poland
List of required documents
Before applying for permanent residence, you need to know exactly the full list of documents required for submission. The list of documents is constantly being supplemented with new ones, and the requirements are sometimes even tacitly tightened. We monitor the changes and respond to them in a timely manner.
Our clients have a complete and reliable list of required documents, if something is missing, we help to make such documents / certificates, etc.
Sworn translation of documents
After preparing the documents at home, they must be translated by sworn translators who are on the list of approved state translators.
We work with several sworn translators on a permanent basis, so documents are translated quickly, professionally, and at a fair market price without extra charges.
Accommodation, job, a PESEL number, registered residence address.
In order to get permanent residence, you will need at least:
Housing — both rented accommodation and your own apartment are acceptable;
PESEL number, registered residence address. On the basis of rental housing, you will receive PESEL (identification number) and Meldunek (a registered residence address);
Employment — according to the requirements of the migration office, a permanent residence applicant must have a connection to Poland, such as employment or studies. We recommend applying on the basis of employment. If you do not yet have a job in Poland, you can be employed through the incubator. However, you should be aware that this option is not suitable for everyone, as it will involve additional tax expenses on your side.
Filling in application forms and submitting documents
After preparing a complete package of documents and their translation, it is necessary to fill out an application (request) and submit the documents to the department for foreigners.
Questions and answers
When will financial aid be available?
Holders of the Pole’s Card have this option. You can apply for financial assistance together with your Temporary Residence Card application.
Is it difficult to get permanent residence?
Each case is individual. It all depends on how well your package of documents is prepared, whether you fulfill the requirements for staying in Poland, work / study, living, etc. There are also refusals (often the reasons look far-fetched), in this case an appeal is filed.
What are the benefits of a permanent residence card holder?
Some of the benefits:
— At the stage of processing your case, you can legally stay in Poland with an expired visa.
— After receiving the card, you have a 100% chance of obtaining financial support of 800 PLN per month for each minor child.
— Free access to the labor market.
— A permanent residence permit entitles you to travel to other EU countries lifelong.
— Legal stay in any EU country for up to 90 days during the period of 180 days.

I want to sincerely thank Latwy Start and especially Olga for the excellent work and support at every step.
Olga is a true professional and at the same time a very caring, attentive person. From the very start she guided me step by step: she helped me gather the documents and explained everything in detail, and then took on all the organizational matters and completely removed the stress that usually comes with such procedures.
I'm very happy to recommend her to anyone who values professionalism, reliability and a human touch. And I will absolutely turn to her again.

I got my permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu) with the help of Latwy Start, based on my Polish roots. I didn't really look into it myself. They told me which documents were needed and where to go. Got it all done, and now the card is in my hands.

Łatwy Start is a great choice for an IT specialist, everything runs like clockwork. A big plus is the full transparency about how invoicing (faktury) and payments are handled.

I was applying for a permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu), and Krystyna guided me through it. Everything was fine: a friendly attitude, all the information provided on time, and clear, detailed explanations. The whole process went smoothly and without any unnecessary stress.

I want to leave a review about Latwy Start, and specifically about working with Olga. She is a true professional and a very pleasant person.
Olga helped me at every stage: from gathering the documents, where she constantly advised me and sent examples of how to fill them in so everything would be perfect, all the way to the visit to the urząd (office), where she went with me and completely took away the stress that comes with the procedure.
After I submitted the application, Olga kept me regularly updated on the status of my case and did everything she could to have it processed faster.
I'm incredibly happy with her work and will definitely turn to her again. Today I picked up my first card, valid for 3 years, and I know for sure - without Olga I wouldn't have managed!☺️

I'd like to leave a positive review about this company's services. My curator was Olga. I got my residence card (karta pobytu) and I liked everything: I received information about all the details, Olga answered every question, even the silliest ones) Nothing was forgotten, the result - the card - is in hand, I recommend them!

I’m really thankful to Olga for all her help. From answering the questions to receiving the residence permit. The process was smooth and there was no stress. That took only 5 months from application to obtainment.

I'm giving 1 star. I was planning to start working with them through the incubator. I sent 3 messages - by email and through the form on the site, messaged them on Instagram, made 2 calls (no answer). I wasted a week waiting. They simply ignored me. How can you trust this service if the foundation can't even reply to a message and send documents to review. Waiting for an explanation.

I highly recommend Łatwy Start! Thanks to them, my two kids and I received 3-year residence cards without any stress. Special thanks to manager Kristina — she was extremely helpful and even managed to speed up the process for my children. Excellent service, very satisfied!
