Success Story: Securing a 3-Year Work TRC in Poland Despite Criminal Record
At Legal Immigration Poland, we specialize in assisting foreigners with immigration matters, even in the most challenging situations. One of our recent successes involved helping a client who had a criminal record in Poland obtain a 3-year temporary residence work permit in Poland based on work. Given the strict current immigration policies in Poland regarding individuals with a criminal history, this was a remarkable achievement. The Challenge: Criminal Record in Poland and High Risk of Rejection Our client had a criminal record in Poland, what causes high risk of reqection on TRC in Poland applications since polish immigration law remains very strict when assessing applicants with a criminal record. Under current regulations, a criminal record in Poland can be a ground for denial of a residence permit or even deportation, as authorities assess whether an individual poses a threat to public security. With Poland tightening its immigration policies for 2025–2030, the risk of rejection for applicants with a criminal past has increased even further. Our Strategy: Proving That Our Client Deserved to Stay Knowing the complexity of this case, our immigration specialist took a strategic approach to demonstrate that our client posed no risk and deserved the opportunity to continue living and working in Poland. Our actions included: Comprehensive Legal Argumentation: We have carefully reviewed the details of the criminal case in Poland and prepared a detailed explanation of our client’s situation, emphasizing his rehabilitation and law-abiding behavior since the conclusion of the case. Engaging with Authorities: We proactively communicated with the Immigration Office in Szczecin, providing legal justifications and responding to any concerns raised during the review process. Additional Administrative Review: Due to the criminal record in Poland, the immigration office initiated a special additional administrative assessment to evaluate any risks. We assisted in providing: A full explanation of the case outcome. Documentation proving that the client had fulfilled all legal obligations related to the case. Evidence that they were now a responsible, law-abiding resident of Poland. Direct Negotiations: Our specialist had direct discussions with immigration officers, addressing any uncertainties and reinforcing our client’s eligibility for a residence permit.

Please see below the decision of the Voivode. What This Case Teaches Us This success story highlights the importance of professional legal support when dealing with immigration matters involving a past criminal record.

Filing an Appeal to the Administrative Court in Warsaw: How to Fight a Negative Visa Decision
Receiving a second negative decision from the Polish Consulate regarding your work or student national visa can feel like a major setback, especially when the rejection is based on the uncertain “10th point.” This common reason for denial means the Consulate claims to have information suggesting that your true intentions for visiting Poland differ from those stated in your application. Unfortunately, the Consulate often does not provide a detailed explanation, leaving you confused and uncertain about how to respond. But you don’t have to accept the decision without a fight. Filing an appeal to the Administrative Court in Warsaw allows you to challenge the Consulate’s decision and require them to explain the reasons for rejection in detail. This process gives you the opportunity to defend your case and potentially secure the visa you need to pursue your dreams in Poland. Understanding the “10th Point” Rejection Many visa applicants face rejection under the “10th point,” which allows the Consulate to deny visas based on undisclosed information that they believe contradicts your stated purpose for entering Poland. This can be incredibly frustrating, as the consulate does not explain what this information is or how it led to their decision. As a result, many applicants feel powerless, unable to address the concerns that led to their rejection.

Jail in Dubai because of a fake Polish TRC. Our client, the victim of immigration SCAM, is successfully acquitted in Dubai.
1. Immigration SCAM in Poland. Be careful of fake documents in Poland! Immigration laws, requirements for foreigners, and bureaucratic processes are complex and time-consuming. Therefore, at some point every immigrant is faced with a difficult decision. Do the process of legalization of your stay and activity in Poland on your own or seek help from an immigration agency? The market of immigration agencies in Poland is quite saturated, so every immigrant who wants to move to Poland can choose an agency that meets all criteria. However, along with the number of bona fide law firms and immigration agencies, the number of immigration scams is also growing. Unfortunately, in most cases immigrants tend to choose agencies that guarantee a 100% result in obtaining Polish documents (TRC in Poland, work permit, visas and etc.) in the shortest possible time without unnecessary difficulties and bureaucratic processes. It’s pity but such a decision can become a point of no return in the process of your immigration to Poland, and perhaps an obstacle in visiting the whole EU in the future. You should always remember that the wrong legal advice and actions can have long-term consequences. We hope that this article will help immigrants avoid such problems and wrong decisions in the future. Therefore, we invite you to read below the story of our client, who paid the employer for the help with obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit in Poland and became the Victim of immigration fraud on the Internet. Through the website of driving school in Poland he was given an offer to be hired as a driver in a driving school and obtain temporary residence in the Republic of Poland, based on a temporary residence card with a work permit. As the result of this immigration SCAM, the client ended up in a prison in Dubai due to a fake residence permit. 2. Our client, the victim of immigration SCAM, was successfully acquitted in Dubai thanks to our attorney Patryk Przeździecki. Ibrahim (the name was changed), a happy owner of a residence permit in Poland for a period of 3 years, which was provided to him by his employer for an additional fee, decided to visit his family in Iraq during his vacation at work. He did not know then that he would not be able to return to the EU as quickly and easily as he had planned. Ibrahim was returning to Poland via Dubai, where the airport border guard detained him and accused him of having an invalid Polish residence permit card. When Ibrahim tried to contact his employer, who helped with obtaining this document, to clarify the situation, he and his friends were immediately blocked. It was impossible to contact this company. Until the situation was clarified, Ibrahim was detained in prison. Therefore, Ibrahim’s friends contacted our law firm “Legal Immigration Poland” to verify the authenticity of the document, as well as to get professional legal assistance from an immigration attorney and protect the interests of a friend in Dubai. After an introductory legal consultation, analysis of the documents and clarification of the situation, our attorney Patryk Preździecki confirmed doubts about the falsity of this residence card. This document was 100% forged. What’s more, the firm’s data and the process of their interaction with clients turned out to be a typical immigration scam on the Internet. Soon, a confirmation report also came from Dubai that the card was fake. Therefore, Ibrahim spent several months in a Dubai prison, waiting for the proceeding and their decision. Moreover, he was deprived of his passport, and every day of waiting for a final decision increased the fine for staying in the UAE on the basis of an expired visa. Effectively responding to every request from the Dubai authorities, our immigration attorney Patryk Przeździecki successfully handled the process of defending Ibrahim’s interests before the UAE government, as well as releasing Ibrahim from any legal liability for using a fake Residence Card document both in the UAE and in Poland. After all, he was deceived and was only the victim of immigration scammers. As the result, the Iraqi citizen was successfully acquitted in Dubai! Also, thanks to the help of the attorney, Ibrahim will be able to travel safely to the EU. The Prokuratura Rejonowa Warszawa Srodmiescie w Warszawie (Prosecutor’s Office for the Central District of Warsaw) was also notified in connection with this immigration fraud. Thanks to the statement of our attorney, a criminal case was officially initiated on the creation, issuance, sale and use of fake documents. Now we can be sure that scammers will be found and punished to the fullest extent of the law. 3. What should you do if you are already a Victim of Immigration SCAM in Poland? Who can help you? If you are also a victim of immigration fraud and are accused of using fake documents, then protect your rights and interests, prove your innocence. Do not forget that this is especially important for foreign citizens who are planning their future in the EU countries, as a criminal record for using fake documents can permanently block your ability to travel and live in the EU. Also, it should be noted that if you need legal assistance and protection of your interests in case of using fake documents, then contact only licensed attorneys.
