Following Poland ’s entry into the European Union on May 1st, 2004, many Polish natives and their descendants around the world have expressed an increased interest in the possibility of obtaining Polish citizenship and a Polish passport. Such citizenship entitles them to settle, study, and work in European Union countries.
About the Rights to Polish Citizenship
Persons born in Poland (including those that were born in the territories of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania that were under Poland's control between the two world wars) are entitled to Polish citizenship and a Polish passport.
This right to Polish citizenship passes to the descendants of the Poland natives and their descendants, without restriction of generations and without regard to their birth place. Amongst our clients are US and South American citizens whose parents emigrated from Poland in the the 1920's.
According to Polish Law the various county governments or the president of Poland have the authority to grant citizenship. It is important to note that citizenship obtained from the President of Poland does not pass to children and grandchildren.
The above description is only a brief summary of the subject of Polish citizenship and may not be relied on without checking the legal and factual circumstances with a lawyer who is well versed in the current
