Polônia · Confirmação de cidadania (a via por descendência ficou intocada pelas reformas 2025–26)
Eu poderia confirmar a cidadania polonesa por descendência?
A onda de reformas 2025–2026 da Polônia mira a naturalização por residência — não a via de confirmação por descendência dos Arts. 55–57 da lei de 2009. Responda a algumas perguntas para ver se vale a pena montar um processo de confirmação e do que dependerá a análise da cadeia pelo voivoda.
Quem é o seu ancestral polonês mais próximo?
O pedido de confirmação indica os seus dados e os dos seus ascendentes até o segundo grau — pais e avós (Art. 56). Linhas mais profundas são tramitadas na prática, mas exigem mais documentação.

Perguntas frequentes
Did Poland's new citizenship law kill the grandparent route?
No such law exists for descent. The presidential bill (druk 1759) extends the residence requirement for naturalization-by-recognition from 3 to 10 years and has been in committee since November 4, 2025; the PiS bill was rejected on January 9, 2026; the government plan wasn't yet a bill as of June 10, 2026. None of the three touches Arts. 55–57 descent confirmation.
How much does confirmation cost now?
PLN 277 stamp duty for the decision (applications received from August 1, 2025 — payable even on a refusal), plus EUR 100 consular handling if you file through a consulate (rate in force December 9, 2025). Sworn translations of foreign documents are a separate real cost.
How long does it take?
Since August 1, 2025 the law gives authorities 6 months from receipt for citizenship cases other than presidential grants — including confirmation files, and including proceedings already pending on that date. Practical backlogs at the Mazovian office aren't officially published; treat the 6 months as the statutory clock, not a promise.
Can I apply from abroad?
Yes — you file via the Polish consul competent for your place of residence, who forwards the application to the voivode (the Mazovian Voivode if you never lived in Poland). The application form is in Polish and foreign documents need sworn translation.
Which historical laws decide whether my chain is unbroken?
Citizenship at each birth is judged under the act in force at the time: the 1920 act (in force Jan 31, 1920 – Jan 19, 1951), the 1951 act (to Aug 21, 1962), then the 1962 act (to Aug 15, 2012), now the 2009 act. Loss events under those acts are case-specific — that's the part worth professional analysis.
