Rules change
Since 27 April 2026 most temporary and permanent residence applications can only be filed online through the MOS portal, from inside Poland, signed with a Profil Zaufany or qualified signature. Stamp duty is not refunded if the permit is refused. Poland has no dedicated digital-nomad visa. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Confirm each step with the Office for Foreigners (Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców) before you rely on it.
