Polish Citizenship by Descent

Polish Citizenship by Descent – Unlimited Generations. No Residency Required.

If your ancestors were born in Poland or held Polish citizenship, you may be eligible to reclaim your Polish citizenship by descent. Poland recognizes the right of blood (jus sanguinis)—meaning citizenship can be passed down across generations, without limits, and without requiring you to live in Poland.

🇵🇱 Gain Polish (EU) citizenship through your ancestry—with full legal rights in all 27 EU countries.

Why Apply for Polish Citizenship?

🌍 Full EU Citizenship – Live, work, and study freely across the entire European Union
✈️ Polish Passport – Enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to over 180 countries
🛂 Dual Citizenship Allowed – Poland permits you to keep your current nationality
🧬 No Generational Limit – As long as your ancestor maintained Polish citizenship, you may qualify
🏠 No Residency Requirement – You can apply from anywhere in the world

Who Qualifies for Polish Citizenship by Descent?

✔️ You have a direct ancestor (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or earlier) who:

• Was born in Poland (including areas that were historically part of Poland before border changes)
• Held Polish citizenship after 1920 (when Polish nationality law was formalized)
• Did not voluntarily renounce or lose Polish citizenship before the next generation was born
