Longer Stay for Citizenship: 3 to 10 Years in Poland.
New regulations extend the required continuous stay in Poland from 3 to 10 years for foreigners seeking Polish citizenship. This aims for better integration and alignment with European standards, but might affect application numbers and Poland's attractiveness to migrants. Cases already initiated will be processed under the old rules.
