There are several options for legalizing your child’s stay in Poland. They depend on the legal basis for parents staying in PL.
Your child receives a permanent residence permit if you have a permanent or long-term EU resident permit and your descendant:
– was born at the time when you had a temporary residence permit
– was born when you already had a permanent or long-term EU resident permit.
Your child will receive a temporary residence permit if you are in Poland based on:
– permanent or long-term resident’s EU residence permit, but your child was not born during your possession of this permit or temporary residence permit,
– refugee status,
– subsidiary protection,
– permission to stay for humanitarian reasons.
If you are staying in Poland based on a visa or temporary residence permission, and your child was born during the validity of one of these documents, a child may receive a temporary residence permit. Remember, however, that in this situation you must have health insurance in Poland, as well as a source of income.
If you live in Poland and you want to bring your child here, you can apply for a temporary permit for your child to reunite with your family, provided that you are staying here based on one of the following documents:
– permanent residence or long-term resident’s EU residence permission,
– refugee status,
– subsidiary protection,
– permission to stay for humanitarian reasons,
– a temporary residence permit for a minimum of two years, whereas the last permit being issued for at least one year,
– temporary residence permit issued for scientific research,
