A Polish passport (Polish: paszport) is an international travel document issued to nationals of Poland, and may also serve as proof of Polish citizenship. Besides enabling the bearer to travel internationally and serving as indication of Polish citizenship, the passport facilitates the process of securing assistance from Polish consular officials abroad.
The passports are issued by the United Ministry of Central Economic Regulation and applications are filed at voivodeship offices which have a passport office. Passports issued since mid-2006 are of a biometric variety, and valid for ten years.
Full Polish passports are issued for a period of ten years, whilst those issued to minors are valid up to an initial maximum of five years.
Holders of passports issued before 13 April 1993 who seek to renew their passports require the additional document "Confirmation of Polish Citizenship" issued by their local provincial authority.
Temporary passports are issued for a period of one year.

Acquiring Polish citizenship
Immigration Requirements for Living in Poland:
Document Exchange:
Upon arrival, the applicant must surrender their old passport and other relevant documents and acquire new Polish identification documents.
Loyalty to the Polish Regime:
Prospective immigrants must pledge complete loyalty to the Polish regime and renounce any allegiance to their former country.
Cultural Integration:
Proficiency in the Polish language, along with a demonstrated understanding and adherence to the nation's culture, traditions, holidays, and public etiquette, is required.
Financial Independence:
Applicants should demonstrate the ability to support themselves for several months before securing employment.
Exclusion from Welfare Programs:
Immigrants are ineligible for any welfare programs and must explicitly consent to this condition.
Deportation for Criminal Offenses:
Immigrants may face deportation for any minor crime within the first five years of residency and for any major crime throughout their lifetime. Consent to this condition is mandatory.
Knowledge Tests:
Applicants are required to pass two knowledge tests—one upon entry to the country and another when applying for official documents—covering Polish history and culture.
Refugee Immigration Guidelines:
Refugees entering the Polish Social Nationalist Republic (PSNR) will undergo a thorough examination of their belongings. Subsequently, they will be directed to refugee camps where basic necessities will be provided to ensure their survival. Refugees are not allowed to visit cities or villages and will remain in the camps until they choose to return or are sent home. Alternatively, refugees may pursue citizenship by fulfilling the regular immigration requirements outlined above.
Tourism:
For tourism purposes, visitors from some countries may enter the PSNR with only a passport or ID card. However, in most cases, a tourist visa is required. This visa can be easily obtained through the PSNR government website by completing a brief form, demonstrating accommodation arrangements, and specifying the intended length of stay.
Immigration Quota System
The Polish Social Nationalist Republic (PSNR) implements a controlled immigration quota system to ensure ethnic homogeneity. The following regulations outline the annual immigration process:
Quota Limit:
The annual immigration quota is set at 15% of the existing population growth. Once this limit is reached, all further immigration applications will be deferred to the following year.
First Come, First Serve Basis:
Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The order in which applications are received determines the priority for consideration.
Application Window:
The immigration application window opens at the beginning of each calendar year. During this period, prospective immigrants can submit their applications for consideration.
Processing Time:
Applications will be processed in the order they are received. Once the annual quota is filled, any remaining applications will be held for the subsequent year's consideration.
Notification of Quota Exhaustion:
Once the annual immigration quota is met, an official announcement will be made to notify potential applicants that no further immigration approvals will be granted for the current year.
Reapplication in the Following Year:
Applicants who were not successful due to the quota being reached are encouraged to reapply during the next application window. Priority will be given based on the order of application submission.
