The Challenge

Main Challenges Post-Brexit

New rules require new strategies.

  • FCDO Apostilles: Polish authorities demand an Apostille and sworn translation for all official records.
  • Business Limits: Britons cannot open a sole proprietorship (JDG), only an LLC (Sp. z o.o.).

How UK Citizens Can Legalize Their Stay in Poland Post-Brexit

After Brexit, UK citizens are considered third-country nationals. However, you still have the advantage of entering the Schengen Area visa-free for 90 days.

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

The Visa-Free Advantage

You can arrive in Poland and stay legally for 90 days in any 180-day period. 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.

Work Permit (Type A) or Blue Card

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

Requirements for UK Documents

For legalization, you will need documents from the UK, such as birth or marriage certificates, or ACRO police checks. - These documents MUST have an Apostille issued by the FCDO. - They must be translated by a Polish sworn translator. We handle all translations.

Comprehensive Legal Support

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

Frequently Asked Questions by UK Citizens

No, UK citizens can stay in the Schengen Zone without a visa for up to 90 days.
You must file for a Residence Card BEFORE the 90 days expire.
No. Post-Brexit, you need a Work Permit to work legally.
No, UK citizens cannot register as sole traders but can open a Limited Liability Company (Sp. z o.o.).
