Immigration to Poland We introduce the Republic of Poland, which can be described as a European country in the heart of Eastern Europe. Statistics tell us that the population of Poland is currently estimated at around 38.4 million. According to statistics based on the results of the 2011 census, the dominant ethnic group is Poles (96.8%). The official language is Polish. Polish nominal GDP per capita is estimated at around 15 313 USD. The Official currency is Zloty (PLN). Poland is a proud member state of the European Union and the Schengen area, which provides many benefits for its residents. Immigration legislation requires that if you are a non-European Union citizen and you intend to stay in the Republic of Poland in excess of 90 days consecutively or if you want to conduct business activities or work, then you must apply for a residence permit. The law currently provides three major grounds for doing so: starting a business in Poland, getting an education or getting a qualified job. If a foreigner stays in Poland under 90 days – a simple visa is required.
