New template for long-term EU resident application from 1 June 2025

The Ordinance of the Minister of the Interior and Administration of 26 May 2025, amending the Ordinance on applications to grant foreign citizens long-term EU residence permits, was published on 30 May.

All applications must be submitted on the new forms as of 1 June 2025.

The new form introduces the obligation to indicate:

  • an e-mail address,
  • more specific information on stays in other EU countries, specifically on the basis of:
    • a residence permit with the annotation “EU Blue Card” issued by an EU Member State other than Poland,
    • a long-stay visa with the annotation “academic” or a residence permit with the same annotation, issued by an EU Member State other than Poland,
    • international protection granted by an EU Member State other than Poland,
    • a residence permit issued by another EU Member State making use of the provisions on admission of highly qualified workers,
    • a long-term visa with the annotation "student" or a residence permit with the annotation "student" issued by an EU Member State other than Poland.

Foreign citizens applying from Monday 2 June must thus use the new forms - older versions will no longer be accepted.
