Family reunification of foreigners in Poland - law and practice

The right to family life is one of the fundamental human rights. The Polish law allows foreigners to bring their family members to Poland, with various available routes for legalizing their stay in Poland due to family ties. One of them is the family reunification procedure, which this publication is devoted to. As compared to other countries covered by the cyclical Migrant Integration Policy Index reviews, Polish regulations related to the family reunification procedure are considered favourable, even though the Polish law holds a fairly narrow definition of family as such.
