A long-term EU resident’s residence permit is, next to temporary and permanent residence permits, one of the main ways to legalize your stay in Poland. It is granted (like a permanent residence permit) without a specific validity period, which means that it gives you the opportunity to stay and work in Poland (without the need to obtain an additional permit) for an unlimited period of time.
