Polish Citizenship
Thousands of Israelis living in Israel are descendants of Polish-born individuals, many of whom lost their Polish citizenship due to their escape during World War II.
With Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004, the door opened for Israelis with Polish roots to apply for Polish citizenship.
Polish citizenship law states that anyone whose father was born in Poland before 1951 is eligible for Polish citizenship, and anyone born after 1951 is eligible if their mother was born in Poland. Even second- and third-generation descendants of Polish natives can apply for Polish citizenship.
Once Polish citizenship is obtained, one can begin the process of obtaining a Polish-European passport.
Holding a European passport offers many advantages, such as freedom of movement within the 28 member states of the European Union and other benefits.
There are two ways to apply for Polish citizenship:
The first route: submitting an application to the President of Poland. The second route: applying through the Polish Embassy in Israel to Polish government institutions.
The process of obtaining Polish citizenship involves submitting many documents, while adhering to certain legal thresholds, regulations, and Polish laws. It is important to entrust the documents to a translator who is knowledgeable about the legal requirements and rights to which you are entitled, especially in light of the meticulous examinations by the Polish consulate.
It is important to note that in addition to those born on Polish soil, individuals who resided in Poland in territories that belonged to Russia or Ukraine during the war are also eligible for Polish citizenship.
Obtaining Polish citizenship does not require renouncing Israeli citizenship.
Business and Investments in Poland
Israel and Poland have a tax treaty that prevents double taxation by Israeli companies with businesses in both countries. This encourages Israeli companies to establish business connections with entities and institutions in Poland.
As part of these business relationships, there arises a need for the translation of documents from Hebrew to Polish and from Polish to Hebrew between the two countries (legal documents, contracts, employment agreements, etc.).
The field of real estate investment by Israeli businessmen in Poland is also growing, with quite a few Israeli investors relocating to Poland for business purposes. This move to Poland is also accompanied by the submission of translated documents.
