Permanent resident moving out of PL - what happens to my apartment?

Hello Friends,
I am a permanent resident in Poland and had bought an apartment here couple of years ago.

It might happen that I may need to move out of country in near future.
So, I wonder what happens to:
1. My Permanent residency => I understand I need to be living in Poland to keep it so will it lost?
2. My apartment => Would I be "legally forced" to sell the apartment incase my PR will be lost? I would really prefer to rent it out if possible :).

Thanks a ton for pointers.

If it's permanent, you are unlikely to lose it.


Of course not.

You would lose your Polish permanent residency status if one of the below conditions is met:

1. You become a Polish citizen (it's obvious).
2. You become a permanent resident of another EU country.
3. You leave Poland for more than 6 years.
4. You've been proven to lie on your legal application etc.

You would not be forced to sell your property even if you are no longer a Polish resident.

Thank you for precise answers - very much appreciated!

Regarding the condition "You leave Poland for more than 6 years, " I can always declare my address same as my apartment and visit Poland every few years. Would that be enough for me to keep my permanent residency?

Once again thanks a ton for advice!

That should be enough. They probably want to avoid people flying out of the EU for more than 6 years (then they have a proof via a passport stamp), but otherwise it should be safe to keep your Polish address and be physically in Poland every few years at the least.

Thank you!
