Deportation and Protecting Foreignersʼ Rights in Poland
If return proceedings have been opened against you, or you are already facing a deportation decision from Poland, it is important to act quickly. Different stages of the proceedings offer different ways to protect your rights, so seeking legal assistance as early as possible can be crucial.
Legal assistance may be needed from the very first hours after detention
If you’ve been detained by the Border Guard
Legal assistance may be needed from the very first hours after detention.
If you’ve been stopped by Straż Graniczna officers, taken to a Border Guard unit, and proceedings have been initiated, we can get involved in the case at an early stage.
Depending on your specific situation, support may include:
— a representative taking part in procedural actions within the scope of the powers granted;
— support during questioning;
— analysis of the grounds for detention and the proceedings that have been initiated;
— review of the documents and circumstances of your stay in Poland;
— preparation of the necessary explanations and statements;
— protection of your interests throughout the further proceedings.
Providing appropriate explanations at the initial stage can be particularly important, as information provided by a foreigner during the proceedings may affect subsequent decisions.
Appealing a deportation decision
If a return obligation decision has already been issued against you, we review its content and the grounds on which it was based.
Where there are legal grounds to do so, we can prepare and file a complaint or appeal, and submit additional documents and arguments supporting the need to review the decision.
Each case is assessed individually. Whether an appeal is possible, the deadlines, and the further strategy depend on the content of the specific decision and the circumstances of the case.
Reducing the length of an entry ban
If a return decision has already been issued against you along with an entry ban, in certain cases provided for by law, it may be possible, after the required period has passed, to apply to the Border Guard for the ban to be shortened.
For example, if the ban is imposed for 3 years, once the legally required part of that period has passed, it may be possible to have the remaining period cancelled and regain the right to return to Poland earlier.
We review your decision and the circumstances of your case, assess whether the ban may be shortened, prepare the application, and support you throughout the proceedings before the Border Guard.
If you’ve already been detained by the Border Guard, received a deportation decision, or are unsure what to do after receiving such a decision, do not delay seeking legal assistance.
The sooner we review the case materials, the more effectively we can assess your options and determine the right defense strategy.

Case Handling
I handle your case personally from start to result: I gather documents, communicate with government agencies, and keep you updated at every stage.
Why me?
I help clients from more than 10 countries with legalization in Poland: Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and others. I take the time to understand your individual situation and explain the process simply, without unnecessary legal jargon.
The price is fixed once the contract is signed, and doesn't grow as the case progresses. You pay for the full agreed scope of work, with no additional charges for each individual steps of the process. If needed, payment can be split into installments.
I keep track of filing and processing deadlines, handle correspondence and negotiations with government offices, and take care of the day-to-day issues that may come up along the way. I work under a power of attorney, so all correspondence are sent directly to me rather than to you. You don't need to contact the urząd (office) yourself or worry that something might get lost- the case is under control at every stage.
We’ll call you back
Leave your number, and I’ll call you back within one business day to briefly answer your questions.
