Why Foreigners Are Choosing Poland in 2025

Poland offers one of the lowest costs of entry for EU business setup. You don’t have to satisfy complex requirements, pass a language test or find a local partner.
Once your company is legally registered and active, you can apply for a Temporary Residence Card (TRC) tied to business activity. After five years, you’re eligible for permanent residency in Poland.
This includes 100% foreign ownership, a fast company setup, legal path to long-term EU stay, strong banking system and low corporate tax.
Here are the steps you need to follow to get started.

Step 1: Choose Your Legal Business Structure

As a foreigner, the Limited Liability Company (Sp. z o.o.) is the most accepted structure. It’s recognized by Polish authorities and works perfectly for residency applications.
Key facts:

• No Polish citizenship or residency required
• Requires at least one shareholder
• Minimum share capital: 5,000 PLN (~€1,100)
• Registered office address in Poland

Note: Avoid informal setups or fake businesses, Polish immigration checks activity before issuing your business TRC.

Step 2: Register the Company

Company registration is done via the National Court Register (KRS). You can register online or with our legal team on the ground.
What you’ll need:

• Company name
• Articles of association (we prepare this for you at Magyar)
• Polish tax number (NIP)
• REGON (statistical number)
• Bank account
• Proof of registered address
• A sworn translator for official documents if you’re not fluent in Polish.

Step 3: Prove Real Business Activity

To qualify for residency through business in Poland, your company must show real operations. This means:

• Registered with the Polish Tax Authority
• Active bank account with visible business movement
• Rental agreement for office or operations space
• Invoice activity or service contracts

Note: Fake companies get flagged fast and your residency will be denied

Step 4: Apply for TRC (Temporary Residence Card) Based on Business

Once your business is live, apply for a TRC based on business activity. This is your legal ticket to stay long-term.
You’ll need:

• Valid passport
• Proof of business registration
• Proof of activity (bank statements, contracts, rent, etc.)
• Health insurance
• Accommodation address
• Clean background

Note: Processing time ranges from 60 to 90 days. If successful, you’ll receive a TRC that’s renewable and leads to permanent stay.
