Right of permanent residence of a citizen of the United Kingdom – the beneficiary of the withdrawal agreement

Decision

Proceedings for a declaration of the acquisition of the right of permanent residence by a United Kingdom citizen are of a simplified nature, which means that an administrative decision in this case is issued only if the grounds for refusing to issue documents confirming the acquisition of this right are established.

Such a situation occurs when:

  • a citizen of UK does not meet the conditions of permanent residence set out in Chapter 4 of the Entry Act (discussed in the Requirements stage), e.g., they stayed in Poland for a shorter period than required;

  • this is required for reasons of defence or security of the State or of the protection of security or public order;

  • in proceedings for the issuance of a document confirming the right of permanent residence:

- has submitted an application containing false personal data or false information or attached to it documents containing such data or information, or

- has testified untruth or concealed the truth, or forged or altered a document for the purpose of its use as authentic or used such a document as authentic, or

  • applies for a document confirming the right of permanent residence in order to circumvent the legal Regulations in force in another Member State of the European Union, a Member State of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) - a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or the Swiss Confederation regulating the rules of entry into, stay and exit from the territory of the European Union.

The decision to refuse to issue a document confirming the right of permanent residence is appealed to the Head of the Office for Foreigners (more in the stage: "Appeal").

A citizen of the United Kingdom who has confirmed the right of permanent residence in Poland is issued with a document confirming the right of permanent residence (more in the tab: "Documents issued to EU citizens"). This document is issued for a period of 10 years.
