 Right Family Reunification 

 The following foreigners have the right to obtain a temporary residence permit for family members of a foreigner living in Poland:

• a spouse (the marriage must be recognized by Polish law);
• a minor child (who is under 18) - not only biological, but also an adopted child, or another child dependent on them, and over whom they exercise actual parental authority (e.g., their spouse's child from a previous relationship).

Family members of a foreigner living in Poland may reunite with them in Poland by obtaining a temporary residence permit if they themselves stay in Poland:

• on the basis of a permanent residence permit;
•  on the basis of a long-term EU resident's residence permit;
•  in connection with granting them refugee status;
• in connection with granting them subsidiary protection;
• for at least 2 years on the basis of subsequent temporary residence permits, including immediately before submitting the application for a temporary residence permit for a family member - on the basis of a permit granted to them for a period of stay of not shorter than 1 year;
• on the basis of a temporary residence permit for the purpose of conducting scientific research;
• on the basis of a temporary residence permit granted for the purpose of conducting scientific research, when the foreigner has a residence permit referred to in art. 1 par. 2 letter a and Council Regulation No. 1030/2002, with the annotation "scientist", issued by another Member State of the European Union if the agreement on the admission of a foreigner for the purpose of carrying out a research project concluded with the relevant scientific unit of that country provides for the conduct of scientific research also on the territory of the Republic of Poland;
• on the basis of a temporary residence permit for the purpose of working in a profession requiring high qualifications (the so-called Blue Card);
•  on the basis of a temporary residence permit for the purpose of working under the intra-corporate transfer;
• on the basis of a temporary residence permit granted for the purpose of using long-term mobility;
•  in connection with granting a residence permit for humanitarian reasons.

Note! If the foreigner is staying outside of Poland, the application for a temporary residence permit for the purpose of family reunification is submitted by the foreigner (a spouse or parent) residing in Poland. Importantly, submitting the application in such a case requires the written consent of the foreigner staying outside Poland. Such consent is the same as granting a power of attorney to act on behalf of a family member in each proceeding.

After the decision for temporary residence is issued, a foreigner residing in Poland may transfer it to a family member so that they can obtain a visa to Poland from the relevant embassy (or consulate) of the Republic of Poland. A family member will collect the residence card in person in Poland.

Note! If a foreigner who is reunited with a family member does not meet the conditions listed above (e.g., he is staying in Poland on the basis of a visa or a temporary residence permit for a period shorter than 2 years), then the family member may apply for a temporary residence permit issued due to other circumstances. Details of this procedure are described in the TEMPORARY STAY / OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES tab.

• If it is justified by an important interest of the foreigner, they may be granted a temporary residence permit for the purpose of family reunification, also in the case of:
• a divorce, separation, or widowhood of that foreigner, if they were married to a foreigner residing on the territory of Poland, as recognized by Polish law, on the basis of one of the above-mentioned conditions;
•  death of their parent being a foreigner residing on the territory of the Republic of Poland on the basis of one of the above-mentioned conditions;
•  death of their minor child who has been granted refugee status or subsidiary protection.
• In such a case, the permit is granted once, for a period not longer than 3 years, and the applicant foreigner must prove that they have a stable source of income, medical insurance, and a place of residence in Poland.
