Specialized consulting across the EU's most active immigration pathways.

The Type D National Visa is the standard entry instrument for non-EU nationals who hold a Polish work permit (Zezwolenie na pracę) or fall under an exempt category such as the Polish Voucher of Intent (Oświadczenie o powierzeniu wykonywania pracy). It authorizes a single long-term entry to Poland and a stay of up to 365 days, with onward travel rights across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Our consulting covers eligibility verification under the Act on Foreigners (Ustawa o cudzoziemcach), strategic selection between Type A, B, C, D, E, or S work permits, employer-side filings with the Voivodeship Office, document apostille routing, and full preparation of the consular submission pack. We also prepare clients for the consular interview and the subsequent conversion to Karta Pobytu.

Karta Pobytu is the physical residence card issued under Polish jurisdiction. Unlike a consular visa, it is filed and decided inside Poland and grants up to three years of legal residence per issuance, with full Schengen mobility. The most common legal bases are employment (Article 114), highly qualified employment / EU Blue Card (Article 127), business activity (Article 142), studies, and family reunification.

Our practice manages the entire Voivodeship submission, including the §15 stamp confirming legal stay during processing, biometric appointment scheduling, supplementary-document responses (wezwanie), and where appropriate, the Single Permit pathway combining work and residence in one decision.

Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (Sp. z o.o.) is the most common corporate vehicle in Poland and the preferred structure for non-EU founders pursuing business-owner residency. Formation requires minimum share capital of PLN 5,000, at least one shareholder, a Polish registered seat, and KRS (National Court Register) registration. The S24 online formation route allows incorporation within 24–72 hours; the notarial route is required for non-standard capital structures or in-kind contributions.

We deliver the full set: PKD activity coding, articles of association, KRS submission, REGON and NIP issuance, VAT and VAT-EU registration, ZUS employer registration, virtual or physical registered seat, and onboarding to Polish banks supporting non-resident UBOs. Where a Sp. z o.o. is intended to support a residence application, we also align the corporate structure with the requirements of Article 142 of the Act on Foreigners.

For clients whose long-term objectives sit outside Poland, we deliver curated relocation packages for Germany (Aufenthaltstitel, EU Blue Card, §19c skilled-worker route, freelancer Aufenthaltserlaubnis) and Lithuania (National D visa, Temporary Residence Permit, ICT permit, and the popular Startup Visa). Each package is built around the destination authority's documentary standard rather than a one-size template.

Engagements include destination-country eligibility analysis, employer or sponsor liaison, accommodation-proof guidance, health-insurance routing (statutory or private), local registration (Anmeldung in Germany, gyvenamosios vietos deklaravimas in Lithuania), and tax-residency briefing. We coordinate with vetted in-country partners for representation before local Ausländerbehörde and Migracijos departamentas.
