Immigration lawyer in Warsaw — legal help for foreigners in Poland
A foreigner's cases before Polish offices follow their own rules: non-restorable deadlines, summonses with short response times and frequently changing regulations. An immigration lawyer in Warsaw is a representative who knows the offices' practice — not just the letter of the law — and runs your case from the first letter to the final decision.
Attorney (adwokat) or legal counsel (radca prawny)?
In foreigners' cases a radca prawny has exactly the same powers as an adwokat — representing clients before the voivodeship office, the Office for Foreigners (UdSC), administrative courts (WSA, NSA) and in citizenship cases. What decides the outcome is immigration-law experience, not the title.
What we help foreigners with
- residence permits — temporary residence (work, studies, family, business), permanent residence, EU long-term resident; see the 2026 document checklist;
- work permits (types A–S), declarations of entrusting work, notifications for Ukrainian citizens;
- family reunification — residence with family;
- Polish citizenship — recognition as a citizen and grant by the President of Poland;
- appeals — against the voivode's decision to UdSC, complaints to WSA, cassation to NSA, remedies against excessive length of proceedings;
- difficult cases — refusals, permit withdrawals, return obligations, entry bans.
How we work
- languages: English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian;
- online client panel — case status, document list and payments in one place, 24/7;
- power of attorney — once granted, we handle most steps without your visits to the office (fingerprints are given in person);
- fair pricing — a fixed fee agreed upfront, instalments possible.
Warsaw and all of Poland
Our office is in Warsaw, but we run residence cases before voivodeship offices across Poland — documents are prepared remotely and representation is based on a power of attorney. More: law firm in Warsaw — a guide and our foreigners' cases service.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost?
The fee depends on the case type: straightforward legalisation is a different workload than a cassation appeal to the NSA. Before we start you receive a specific quote — no hidden costs. The first step is a consultation where we assess your documents and the case's prospects.
