Anyone in your family who has a direct relation of blood with your Polish ancestors, such as your parents, children, siblings, etc., is qualified for Polish citizenship by heritage or descent. As for your spouse, Polish citizenship by descent will not apply if they are descendants of Polish ancestors themselves. However, they can apply for a permit of residence in Poland and live with you.

In such a case, if you are not fluent in Polish, it is best to hire a professional who can help you with the application process.<\/p>\n
