Why It Matters

Understanding the core challenges, our robust solutions, and the proven pathway to success.

The Challenge

Main Challenges for Americans

Without knowing the procedures, it's easy to lose legal status.

90-Day Limit: You must apply for your Residence Card before your visa-free days run out.
US Apostilles: Polish authorities demand an Apostille and sworn translation for all official records.
Business Limits: Americans cannot open a sole proprietorship (JDG), only an LLC (Sp. z o.o.).

How US Citizens Can Legalize Their Stay in Poland

US citizens have the huge advantage of entering the Schengen Area visa-free for 90 days. This allows you to legalize your stay directly in Poland.

LegalMigra provides full legal support, from sworn translations of American documents to obtaining your Residence Card.

The Visa-Free Advantage

You can arrive in Poland and stay legally for 90 days. During this time, we help you establish grounds for residency (e.g., employment or opening a Sp. z o.o.) and file your Residence Card application. Once your application is registered, your stay becomes legal even after your 90 days expire.

Work Permit (Type A) or Blue Card

To work legally, US citizens require a Work Permit (Zezwolenie na pracę) or an EU Blue Card (for highly skilled professionals). We secure Type A permits valid for up to 3 years.

Requirements for US Documents

For legalization, you will need documents from the USA, such as birth or marriage certificates. - These documents MUST have an Apostille issued in the USA (at the state or federal level). - They must be translated by a Polish sworn translator. We handle all translation services.

Comprehensive Legal Support

We provide full relocation assistance: getting a PESEL number, registering your address, vehicle registration for imported US cars, and business incorporation (Sp. z o.o.).
