Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are entitled to a Polish passport thanks to their Polish roots. This article will present in detail the ways you can know whether you are entitled to a Polish passport. This often depends on the years in which you or your ancestors left Poland. Like many Eastern European countries, Poland has officially joined the European Union (in 2004). Polish citizens can enjoy exclusive benefits which will also be detailed in this article.<\/p>\n

Our law office specializes in obtaining Polish citizenship for Jews. Our office has a well-developed practice regarding the issuance of Eastern European citizenships, such as Bulgarian<\/a>, Romanian<\/a>, Lithuanian<\/a>, Hungarian and more. We can also help you find documents that attest to the past citizenship or residence of your ancestors in the Polish state.<\/p>\n

Polish citizenship for Jews<\/h4>\n

Polish citizenship law is based on the “right of blood”, “Jus sanguinis<\/a>“.\u00a0 That is; if you are of Polish descent, you may obtain Polish citizenship and passport on this basis.<\/p>\n

\"You do not have to be born in Poland to apply for Polish citizenship. In fact, there is no limit to the number of generations that separate you from your Polish ancestors (unlike many other citizenships).<\/p>\n

Polish citizenship law is considered extremely flexible.\u00a0 If you have Polish roots you are probably eligible to become a citizen even if you have never visited Poland and \/ or don’t speak Polish. You do not even have any obligation to come to Poland in order to hold a Polish passport.<\/p>\n

However, there is one condition – we need to check whether the Polish citizenship was passed from one generation to the next, without a missing generation in the chain. The method of verification is a complex process, as a result of the citizenship law changing several times.<\/p>\n

Who is eligible to receive a Polish passport?<\/h4>\n

It should be noted that Poland gained its independence in 1918. The first citizenship law was passed in 1920. The first question to ask is; when did your ancestors emigrate from Poland – before or after 1920? If after 1920, then we can know that they immigrated as citizens of Poland.\u00a0 If they emigrated before 1920, we must check whether they are considered Polish citizens according to the 1920 law.<\/p>\n

For various reasons, over the years the Polish state has not accepted the idea of \u200b\u200bdual citizenship for its citizens. In some cases the acquisition of foreign citizenship would have led to the loss of Polish citizenship. In this way the acquisition of foreign citizenship in Poland could be interpreted as ineffective for a number of reasons. For example, a person of the appropriate age to enlist in military service (which can be up to the age of 50) and in the case of officers up to the age of 60.<\/p>\n

If the naturalization took place after 1951, without official approval from the Polish authorities, this would not normally serve as an obstacle to the receipt of the application.<\/p>\n

What is required for an initial verification of your eligibility?<\/h4>\n
