bluteau 27.07.05, 16:26 I assume Uncle Davey has. So do I. What about the rest of us foreigners? I'm also curious to know how long it took others to get it and what kind of ordeal they had to go through. Odpowiedz Link czytaj wygodnie posty
bartis_ervin Re: How many of you now have Polish citizenship? 27.07.05, 18:11 I do not have citizenship and I still have time to consider if I want to. But I know somebody who recently became Polish citizen and it went quite smoothly, but under some new regulations (I did not check the law yet). The requirements: 1. married for at least 3 years and 2. staying permit for at least 2 years. As I understood, he just filed the request and got the citizenship. He didn't had to pass any exam (history or language). Ervin Odpowiedz Link
bluteau Re: How many of you now have Polish citizenship? 27.07.05, 18:51 I followed the same steps you listed, but before I was able to fulfil those requirements my adventures with immigration didn't go so smoothly (I admit part of it was my own fault). By the time I applied for permanent residence I had already been married 9 years and had been living in Poland nearly 10 years, but they refused me on a technicality as I had breaks in my temporary residence cards (in between I had visas), so I had to apply again for a temporary residence card which I made use of for only 3 months before I applied once again for permanent residence. As soon as I got that, I placed my papers for citizenship - from that point on everything was smooth sailing. Odpowiedz Link
chochise Re: How many of you now have Polish citizenship? 27.07.05, 22:23 You also can aquire polish citizenship if your parents have it( Zasada krwi/Ius Sanguinis). Also as part of repatriation. It is not that difficult to acquire citizenship but I am sure it was easier before Poland joined the EU. Also I would say it is much easier to get Polish citizenship than a British one - the Poles are much more easy going More here: www.mswia.gov.pl/cudzo_ob.html and in your local Polish embassies Odpowiedz Link
