UK nationals who have been legally living in Poland before
December 31, 2020 when the UK withdraws from the EU may continue to
live, study, and work in Poland through rights established through
the Withdrawal Agreement. UK nationals who are residents of Poland
by the end of the Brexit transition will be covered by the
Withdrawal Agreement, and their rights will be protected if they
remain a resident. UK nationals should make sure they are
registered as residents.
Entry and Residency Requirements
UK nationals will be able to stay in Poland if they were
residents before December 31, 2020.
UK nationals who are staying in Poland for more than three
months must register their stay with the Department of Foreigners
at the local Voivodeship office. UK nationals who have been living
in Poland for five or more years consecutively must apply for a
document confirming their permanent residency.
