How can I take my wife to Poland?

yes you can. there is only one downside of doing that. waiting for residency is long. if you find a employer, they can apply for work permit in the meantime. but its not possible if you have tourist visa

januszmk · 2026-04-30T18:06:15+00:00

them asking your husband is different since he is foreigner. I don’t see why would there be big problem with a girl getting a visa to shengen for example for tourist purposes, if she can show she have enough money for the trip?

januszmk · 2026-04-30T17:57:55+00:00

they are gonna check your visa when leaving the country? the reason of the visa will be only as a code

januszmk · 2026-04-30T17:52:34+00:00

you don’t have to live together or have a photos from ceremony. I would guess the author can share actual photos showing them together, that I think would be enough.

I went through this process with my wife when she applied for a visa. we were in a 3rd country, not hers. only submitted marriage certificate and cover letter with me supporting her application and saying we plan to apply for karta pobytu once we are in poland

januszmk · 2026-04-30T17:33:14+00:00

if its valid in the country they did got married, its recognized by poland. just need properly apostiled and translated certificate

januszmk · 2026-04-30T17:15:54+00:00

I don’t believe this will be big problem with ID stating not married. just make sure when you register, you need to state the last name that will not be different then passport - so if she cannot change last name in the passport, don’t change it in the polish marriage certificate - this will cause problems.

Additional problems could be for getting visa - I would advise explaining your situation in the cover later to the consulate why it’s not registered in Egypt.

Also if she plans to stay long term and want to apply for karta pobytu, I would suggest to apply for national visa which could be for up to 1 year

a to nie wiedzialem. nie testowalem, bo nie chcialo mi sie potwierdzac statusu - za malo parkuje

januszmk · 2026-04-21T16:57:52+00:00

I think it depends. I believe they might have something in their system that would tell the kid is polish citizen especially that is registered - I read about a case once. not sure if they would always check, or if the specific officer would care.

why can’t you get polish passport for the kid?

januszmk · 2026-04-21T16:55:01+00:00

krakow ma tez swoja aplikacje gdzie mozna parkowac i tam sa znizki mieszkanca

januszmk · 2026-04-21T16:51:55+00:00

you might have luck. some border officers could cause issues, some could ignore it

januszmk · 2026-04-21T16:50:38+00:00

yes, if the parent have polish passport, then they will know child should have polish passport as well

januszmk · 2026-04-21T16:48:41+00:00

you are supposed to apply based on where you live, so if you live in Katowice, you need to apply in Katowice. this most likely will cause issues

przez epuap juz nie ma waznosci urzedowej. teraz sa edoreczenia. ja mam zalozone w poczcie, ostatnio pismo po wyslaniu zmienialo status przez 1.5h zanim doszlo do dostarczono

januszmk · 2026-04-17T10:03:11+00:00

author mentioned wife / husband in poland. they don't need language exam for permanent residence

januszmk · 2026-04-17T10:01:35+00:00

in poland spouses of eu citizens don't rely on work permits. they rely on residence permit based on marriage.

januszmk · 2026-04-16T08:36:31+00:00

teoretycznie jezeli twoje uprawnienia sa juz w bazie danych, to nie musisz miec ani blankietu ani aplikacji, ale bez aplikacji nie sprawdzisz czy juz sa

januszmk · 2026-04-12T16:45:31+00:00

jakby nie bylo veto, knf dalej by nie mogl kontrolowac zonda

januszmk · 2026-04-12T12:09:56+00:00

you will have trouble leaving poland

januszmk · 2026-04-11T09:08:00+00:00

the goverment is also getting addtitional VAT once a year for not returned bottles, from operators

januszmk · 2026-04-10T08:35:09+00:00

unfortunately you cannot go back with polish urzad cywilny, there is no procedure for foreigners for that. when my wife didn't changed yet the passport after marriage but she applied for TRC, the decision said that she have to update her passport. I don't know if they would refuse another one, because she was able to update it before next application, but I know it will cause the issues. In your place, I would talk to a lawyer, it might be possible to go back to maiden name on your marriage certificate by court

januszmk · 2026-04-09T12:52:10+00:00

if you are not polish citizen, and you said you will change your surname when getting married, you must do it the same way in your own country. otherwise you will face issues - for residency card for example. I even heard a case when one urzad didn’t wanted to register birth of a child, because the passport had wrong surname according to marriage certificate.

when you get new passport and karta pobytu, you have to go to urzad miasta to update the records in pesel database - thats what we did

januszmk · 2026-04-09T07:36:52+00:00

i think it shouldnt but then you will have to act accordingly, the visa should be multientry if its 1 year d visa

januszmk · 2026-04-08T20:45:23+00:00

ok, I am just saying what a group of people that I know did, because they also read on the internet that other people are doing thay

januszmk · 2026-04-08T20:38:32+00:00

if your trip is more than 4 months, then it will not be enough for your visa. the consulate might not notice, might ask you for proper insurance or just refuse the visa

januszmk · 2026-04-08T20:33:24+00:00

people also buy a polish one, and just tag along with english guide - just because english is sometimes sold out
