The length of the process varies from one case to another and it depends on the complexity of the case. Usually, the Polish Government takes around 3 to 6 months to process Polish citizenship applications. But we had cases in the past where it took much less, like a month! If the case is more complicated, requires more details and information, it may take a bit longer than 6 months.
