Your stay is treated as continuous if your total time spent outside Poland during the qualifying period does not exceed roughly ten months in total, and no single absence is longer than about six months.
Polish law looks at whether your residence was genuinely uninterrupted, not just whether you held a valid permit. Short trips abroad are allowed, but they are capped. As a general rule, no single absence should exceed about six months, and all absences added together should not exceed roughly ten months over the qualifying period.
Going over these limits can break the continuity of your residence and reset the clock, even if you never lost your legal status. If you expect long trips during your qualifying years, keep records of your travel dates and check the limits carefully, as some exceptions exist for specific reasons such as work, study or family obligations.
