I am an Egyptian National with an Egyptian passport and married to a
Polish lady since 15 years and have 4 children , all of them carry the
polish passport . My question is : can I obtain a Polish passport as a
consequence of my family status?
If yes how and what is the requirements?Dear aaaghgh,
The best way to get up-to-date information for your specific
situation, is to call (or better yet visit) the Polish and Egyptian
Consulates nearest to you. In general, you need to acquire Polish
citizenship in order to obtain a Polish passport. Unfortunately,
marriage to a Polish national is not one of the ways to obtain
citizenship. If you have resided in Poland for at least five years, it
is possible to become a Polish citizen. However, since Poland does not
recognize duel citizenship, it is possible you may have to renounce
your Egyptian citizenship. These are very grave issues, and I urge
you to discuss all the ramifications which would result from such a
decision with your local authorities.
1. "An Alien is eligible to apply for the citizenship if he has
resided in Poland as a lawful permanent resident for at least 5 years.
The granting of the
citizenship can be subjected to submission of the evidence of the loss
or renunciation of foreign citizenship."
2. "Marriage to a Polish national does not affect citizenship of both
parties."
3. "DUAL CITIZENSHIP: NOT RECOGNIZED
Polish law does not recognize dual citizenship of its citizens. While
Polish law does not forbid Polish citizen from becoming the citizen of
a foreign state by birth or naturalization, Polish authorities shall
recognize that national as a Polish citizen only."
