Testimonials from clients who have obtained Polish citizenship

Grigory, Poland

At one time I worked in Poland for seasons and liked the country - it was cozy, quiet, prices were affordable and it was easy to learn the language. I forgot about it for a while, and then the issue of emigration became more acute and Warsaw came to mind again. I thought I would open a residence permit with the help of lawyers from Mycitizenagency, but it turned out even better - I immediately managed to get EU citizenship not only for myself, but also for my children (for the same money). There were no hassles like exams, tests, interviews, no questions about income level and plans for living. I am glad that Mycitizenagency recommended me such a program.

Lubov, Poland

In my opinion, Mycitizenagency is the most honest and competent law firm on our market. I know of three positive cases: first, my coworker made an EU passport, then I applied to Mycitizenagency at her suggestion, and then my sister and her husband followed me. And everyone was advised different immigration programs not for all the money in the world, that is, you can see a personal approach, not just a desire to make money on us. The lawyers explain directly all the nuances of the procedure to every detail and answer a lot of questions. I was glad that they collect the documents themselves: I would never have found my great-grandmother's birth certificate. In general, my impressions are very positive

Catherine, Poland

My mother had roots from somewhere in Eastern Europe back in the early twentieth century, when there was a complete confusion about the territories. Mycitizenagency explained to me that in this case I have the right to get an EU passport very quickly and easily. It was just in time for me - I was living in Poland with a visa, but it was about to expire, and it was unlikely to be extended (for personal reasons). I got citizenship in only 9 months - I think it is nothing at all compared to naturalization, which takes at least 10 years in Poland
