Polish Administration

Regardless of the country of origin, should one decide to stay in Poland for longer than 2 or 3 months (in some cases, depending on the bilateral agreements this period is even shorter) applying for long term visa is obligatory. So far there is no distinction between EU and non-EU citizens in this respect.

You can apply for the visa in the country of your origin. Information concerning rules and procedures of applications can be obtained from an appropriate authority in your mother country. Each one applying for long-term stay in Poland would need to submit medical tests before entering Poland.

Please make sure your list of necessary documents complies with the following one:

  • valid passport
  • birth certificate
  • marriage certificate (if with family)
  • a set of passport-sized photographs

Make sure your medical certificates are fairly up-to-date that is to say less than 90 days old.

Taxation

Generally speaking Polish fiscal system is often deemed as inefficient, lacking transparency and offering many tax deduction privileges.

Income tax in Poland is automatically deducted by your employer. You must however submit your income declaration to the Urz¹d Skarbowy (tax collection office) by 30 April for the preceding calendar year. In your statement you are supposed to list any expenses incurred by you that are subject to taxation law which guarantees the return of certain part of your pre-paid tax on certain services and goods.

More information about fiscal regulations can be obtained from the website of Polish Ministry of Finance. Please note, however, that the vast majority of information is accessible only in Polish.
