Poland's permanent residence permit (pobyt stały) is an indefinite national status issued by the voivode. Routes include people of Polish origin, holders of the Karta Polaka, spouses of Polish citizens, and other qualifying continuous residence.
This permit lets a lawfully resident non-EU sponsor bring close family — typically a spouse and minor children — to join them in Poland for the duration of the sponsor's residence.
This is an EU-level indefinite status (rezydent długoterminowy UE) granted after five years of continuous legal residence in Poland. It is distinct from the national permanent residence permit and includes intra-EU mobility rights.
