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. When you search for an “immigration lawyer” or a “lawyer for foreigners”, in practice you are looking for a representative with immigration-law experience — such as a law firm in Warsaw like ours — and it is that experience, not the title, that decides the outcome.

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, legal employment of a foreigner;
• 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.

A lawyer for foreigners — Śródmieście, Wola and all of Warsaw

Residence cases in Warsaw are handled mainly by the Foreigners Department of the Masovian Voivodeship Office: applications and fingerprints are submitted at ul. Krucza 5/11, and some matters are handled at the office headquarters at pl. Bankowy 3/5 (entrance G) and the service point at ul. Marszałkowska 3/5. Our office is at ul. Marszałkowska 7/10, a short walk from Krucza — which is why we accompany clients at office visits, fingerprint appointments and file inspections.

Every day we handle cases for clients from all districts — Śródmieście, Wola, Ochota, Mokotów, Praga, Ursynów, Bemowo or Białołęka — as well as from outside Warsaw and from abroad. If travel is a problem, consultations take place online, in eight languages, and documents are signed electronically.

The outcome is decided not by who fills in the form, but by whether someone picks the right basis and carries the case through — including when the office calls for corrections. We handle foreigners' cases across Poland, also fully remotely: no visits to the office, with document photos taken on your phone. Book a consultation and start with a diagnosis, not with an application.
