I'm a Polish Canadian citizen. I entered Poland with a Canadian Passport and stayed over 90 days. If I go back to Canada will I have problems even though I have proof that I'm a citizen of Poland, I have a dowod osobisty.

You had a tourist visa to Poland when you are a Polish citizen? Are you OK?

Anyway, you leave Canada on a Canadian passport and enter Poland on a Polish one. Didn't anyone tell you that?

Why didn't you just enter Poland on the ID card?

Can't enter from outside the EU on an ID card can you? Thought it had to be a passport.

True, you need a passport.

And as long as you have proof that you are a Polish citizen you should not have a problem, so dowod osobisty will do.

Doesn't matter where you come from - for the purposes of entering into the EU/EEA/CH, a national ID card (issued by an EU/EEA/CH state) is good enough. And as I said - it's actually illegal to use a foreign document to identify yourself to the Polish State if you already possess a Polish ID card.

The old style ID booklets on the other hand were never good enough to enter with.

If you think about connecting flights - you could fly from JFK to FRA, transit there en route to POZ - you won't go through passport control in FRA, and as far as anyone's concerned in POZ, you've came on a flight from FRA.

You have to go back under Canadian Passport if you entered Poland with it, It they say anything in Warsaw regarding your 90 days over stay then just show them your Polish passport and you will have no problems.
