Polish citizenship is a legal status granted to individuals in accordance with the legislation of this country. Obtaining Polish citizenship can have different ways and requirements depending on the circumstances and status of the person.
Here are some common ways to get Polish citizenship:
1. Birth: A person can become a Polish citizen by birth if he is born in Poland to parents who have Polish citizenship, or if his parents are stateless persons.
2. Registration through residence: A person can apply for Polish citizenship through residence in the country during a certain period determined by legislation.
3. Marriage with a Polish citizen: A person who marries a Polish citizen and loses the citizenship of another country can apply for Polish citizenship through marriage.
4. Political citizenship: Certain individuals can obtain Polish citizenship through special political or humanitarian programs.
5. Other special cases: Some persons may be entitled to obtain Polish citizenship through other special cases or programs determined by legislation.
Let's look at some of the reasons in more detail.
1. Obtaining Polish citizenship through the President, applying for Polish citizenship through the President:
Obtaining Polish citizenship through the country's president is possible, but this is a rather rare and specific case. The President of Poland can grant citizenship to persons under special circumstances, which are considered and considered individually.This may include recognition of contributions to the country, special talents or achievements in a particular field, humanitarian or political circumstances that are worth considering.
The process of obtaining citizenship through the President usually involves submitting an application and providing documentation to support the rationale for such grant. The application is then reviewed by the competent authorities, who make a decision on granting or denying citizenship.
2. Pole card and Polish citizenship.
"Polish Card" is a document issued to certain persons who have a connection with Poland or its nationality, but are not citizens of Poland. This document may grant some specific benefits and rights, such as the right to work, study or visa-free entry to Poland, but it does not grant full citizenship.
3. Polish citizenship by birth. Obtaining Polish citizenship by birth is possible in several cases:
1. One or both parents are citizens of Poland: If one or both parents of a child were born in Poland and have the citizenship of that country at the time of the child's birth, then the child usually also receives Polish citizenship.
2. One parental line: Sometimes a child can get Polish citizenship if one of the parents was a Polish citizen at the time of birth, regardless of the place of birth.
3. If a child is born on the territory of Poland, but one or both parents are stateless persons or constitute certain categories of persons who cannot transfer citizenship, then in some cases the child may receive Polish citizenship.
