'Two years of continuously stay in Poland prior application' - Interpretation of clause in Permanent Residence [13]
Hi everyone.. Have a question which has been bothering me. I've been married to my Polish wife for almost 5years now. I have been staying legally in Poland all these years. I have plans to apply for permanent residence permit but there is a clause in the permanent residence requirement that i dont fully understand. It says "immediately prior to the application must be resided continuously in Poland for a period of 2yrs on the basis of residence permit granted in connection with being married to a Polish citizen"
My problem is about 1yr ago, when i renewed my temporary residence permit, the procedure took longer than normal so my previous residence permit expired and i stayed(legally) based on the stamp in my passport. My question is.. does the fact that i stayed legally for few weeks on basis on stamp on my passport affect my eligibility or must it be only on basis of 2yrs residence permit?
I'll appreciate any and every opinion/advice on this matter. thanks.
