Polish passport opens your gate to European Union and Europe

Holding Polish citizenship makes you automatically a European citizen.

Polish Citizenship is incredibly  beneficial and strong citizenship to have. Along with it, you get rights to reside, travel, work, and study not only in Poland but in the whole European Union. There are also countries like Norway or Switzerland which are not part of the EU but allow their citizens to live, work, and study with much less restrictions and formal requirements than non-EU citizens.

What does it mean? You can live without any time limits and restrictions in Poland and in Europe. You can get a property in Italy or in Portugal, or that Greek cottage you have always dreamed about and spend as much time there as you wish.

Your family will get equal rights to yours

Once you hold Polish citizenship and a Polish passport, your spouse gets equal rights to yours to live and work within the European Union.

Your kids can go through the same process as you and get their own Polish passport which gives them lots of opportunities and fewer formalities. You can all enjoy the privileges of living in Europe without any time limits or visa restrictions.

If you get a job opportunity in any European Union country, guess what?

With your Polish passport, you won’t need a working visa anymore. It is enough to have a passport of any EU member country and the whole job market will be open and available for you. You just need to apply for the job! The same applies for business set up in case that is something on your radar.

Easily apply for studies at European Universities

If you or your child always wanted to study in Paris, well, being a Polish citizen and having a Polish passport can easily reduce heavy fees for non-EU citizens in most public universities across Europe. There is a long list of them that offer free education to EU citizens and again you will not  need any student visa to study anywhere within the European Union.

Travel without borders and passport controls

Traveling to Europe will be easier than ever. While entering Europe you go through the „EU Citizens” line at the airport and that means no queues, quick passport control, or no passport control at all on the border if you show them your Polish passport.

While you travel within Europe by land, there are no border controls or checks. You are an EU citizen and you can enjoy freedom of traveling at its best.

What are the benefits of European Union citizenship?

23 November 2023

European Union (EU) citizenship comes with several benefits, although it’s important to note that EU citizenship is derived from the citizenship of a specific EU member state. This means that the citizens of individual member states, such as Poland, automatically become citizens of the European Union upon acquiring national citizenship.
