Residence permit support for researchers in Poland
We help researchers organise their residence application around the research project and host institution, with support from preparation through office correspondence.
Your first enquiry is free. A paid consultation is optional.
Who this service is for
For researchers coming to or already working with a Polish institution. The nature of the project, host documents and your qualifications help determine the appropriate route.
What we do for you
- Review your project and the proposed basis for residence.
- Identify the documents needed from the host institution.
- Prepare the application and organise supporting evidence.
- Help respond to requests concerning the research and residence file.
Useful information for our first conversation
- Current residence documents
- Research or hosting agreement, if available
- Qualification documents and information about the project
This is an introduction to the information we discuss, not a complete filing checklist. You do not need to send sensitive documents with your first enquiry.
Research, studies and employment are different routes
Working at a university does not automatically mean that the researcher residence procedure applies. We assess the role and supporting documents before selecting the application route.
How we work together
Review the case
We review the documents and procedural stage, including any deadline that needs attention.
Agree the scope
You receive the scope and quote before the work begins.
Prepare and follow up
We prepare the agreed documents, handle correspondence and explain the next steps in your case.
The competent authority or court decides the matter. We agree the work we will carry out; approval and processing time are not guaranteed.
Questions about this service
Is this the same as student residence?
No. Research and studies can have different residence bases. We review the project and documents to establish which service is appropriate.
Can you help if the project is already underway?
Yes. We first review your existing residence basis, the project dates and any pending application before agreeing the scope.
Do I need to pay for a consultation first?
No. Your first enquiry is free. An optional one-hour consultation costs 200 PLN, deducted from the service price if you go on to use our service.
