Residence of a foreign national’s child in Poland. How should the family and immigration position be organised?

The immigration position of a child should be considered in the context of the family as a whole. The parents’ residence status, the child’s place of birth, current documents and the family’s plan for staying in Poland may all be relevant.

The parents’ status can affect the available route

Different family circumstances can lead to different residence solutions. It is therefore important to establish the legal position of the parent or parents before preparing the child’s case.

The child’s own documents still matter

A child is not simply added informally to a parent’s residence case. Passport, entry and residence documents and the child’s individual circumstances need to be reviewed.

We consider the child’s case within the wider family situation

TRC Poland Law & Immigration handles family residence matters with reference to the status of the parents and the family’s intended stay in Poland.
