Overview

Reunite with family members holding temporary residence permits in Poland within 15–30 working days.

This is a national visa for family reunification in Poland, designed for spouses and minor children of individuals holding a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP). The sponsoring TRP holder must demonstrate sufficient financial means and housing to support the family. The visa allows family members to reside together in Poland during the sponsor's permit validity.

The visa is renewable and grants work authorization to spouses. The standard fee is 200 EUR. Applications are processed in 15–30 working days. Family members apply through the Polish consulate, with the TRP holder acting as the petitioner.

This visa is ideal for foreign spouses and dependent children of TRP holders who wish to establish family residence in Poland.

Advantages & Considerations

Key Benefits

  • Direct family reunification pathway — join TRP holder spouse or children
  • Renewable permit tied to sponsor's TRP extension — continuous residence
  • Spouse can work without restrictions in Poland
  • Processing in 15–30 working days (21–42 calendar days) — faster than many family schemes
  • Access to Polish public services and healthcare during stay
  • Clear fee structure: 200 EUR — simple cost with no hidden charges
  • Pathway to permanent residence after qualifying residence period

Worth Knowing

  • Entirely dependent on sponsor's TRP validity — visa terminates if sponsor's permit expires
  • Requires proof of stable income and housing to support dependents
  • Processing tied to sponsor's documentation — delays cascade to family members
  • Sponsor's TRP remaining validity must be sufficient for family visa issuance
  • Insufficient financial means to support household — application will be rejected
