Invitation

Are you planning to invite a foreigner to Poland? Laut offers comprehensive support in obtaining an invitation, a document necessary for legal entry and stay in Poland for citizens of non-Schengen countries requiring a visa. We understand that this process can seem complicated, which is why our team of experts is here to provide you with peace of mind and security, guiding you through every step.

What is an invitation?

An invitation is a written declaration by a Polish citizen, a citizen of another European Union member state, European Economic Area , or the Swiss Confederation, or a foreigner legally residing in Poland (e.g., on the basis of a permanent residence permit, long-term EU resident permit, or temporary residence permit), who undertakes to cover the costs associated with the foreigner’s stay in Poland. It is a key document that confirms the availability of financial resources to support the invited foreigner and their departure from Poland.

Who can obtain an invitation?

An invitation can be obtained by:

• A Polish citizen.

• A citizen of another European Union member state, European Economic Area, or the Swiss Confederation residing in Poland.

• A foreigner legally residing and holding: a permanent residence permit, a long-term EU resident permit, a temporary residence permit (if the validity period of the temporary residence permit is longer than one year), or refugee status granted in Poland. It is important that the inviting person has sufficient financial means to cover the costs of the foreigner’s stay and departure.

What are the requirements for obtaining an invitation?

To obtain an invitation, a number of formal requirements must be met to ensure a successful application. Laut will ensure that all documents are complete and compliant with applicable regulations.

The main requirements and formal conditions that must be met:

1. Submission of an application for entering the invitation in the register of invitations: The application should be submitted to the voivode competent for the place of residence or registered office of the inviting person. Laut will help you complete the application correctly and in accordance with the requirements.

2. Possession of sufficient financial means: The inviting person must prove that they have funds to cover the costs of the foreigner’s maintenance for the entire period of their planned stay, as well as the costs of their return journey to their country of origin or transit to another country. The amount of required funds is determined based on legal provisions and is subject to change. Laut constantly monitors these changes and informs its clients about current requirements.

3. Provision of accommodation: The inviting person must indicate accommodation for the foreigner, e.g., their own apartment, a rented apartment, or a hotel reservation.

4. Health insurance: Although the invitation itself does not replace the requirement for a foreigner applying for a visa to have health insurance, the inviting person should be aware that the foreigner will need to demonstrate valid travel or health insurance.

5. Submission of documents confirming the identity and legal residence of the inviting person: Depending on the status of the inviting person (Polish citizen, EU citizen, foreigner), appropriate documents are required (identity card, passport, residence card, residence permit).
