If you are married to a Polish citizen or a foreign national legally residing in Poland, and you reside in Pakistan, you may be eligible to apply for a Poland Spouse Visa under the country’s family reunification policy. This visa allows legal spouses to live together in Poland and enjoy the right to work, study, and eventually apply for permanent residence or citizenship.
As a leading immigration law firm in Islamabad, SJ Law Experts offers comprehensive legal services to help clients apply for Poland spouse visas from Pakistan with confidence, clarity, and full legal compliance.
💍 What is a Poland Spouse Visa?
A Poland Spouse Visa—officially issued as a National Visa (D-Type) or Temporary Residence Permit—enables a spouse of a Polish citizen or legal resident to join them in Poland. This visa serves as a gateway to long-term residency and integration within the European Union (EU).
Once in Poland, the foreign spouse can apply for a Temporary Residence Card, which allows legal stay and work. After continued residence and fulfillment of integration criteria, permanent residency or Polish citizenship may be pursued.
✅ Who Can Apply?
You are eligible to apply for a spouse visa to Poland from Pakistan if:
- You are legally married to a Polish citizen or a foreign national with a valid residence permit in Poland.
- Your marriage is registered and recognized in both Pakistan and Poland.
- Both partners are over 18 years, and you can prove a genuine marital relationship and intention to cohabit in Poland.
- Your spouse in Poland meets the income and accommodation requirements to support your stay.
📌 Note: Cohabiting partners or unregistered relationships are not eligible for this visa category.
