“Re:Polonia” Association

Building the road to Poland

We support people of Polish descent, the Polish diaspora and foreigners in documentation, administrative and integration matters.

The “Re:Polonia” Association was founded for people of Polish descent, the Polish diaspora and foreigners who wish to discover their roots, confirm their bond with the Homeland and safely build their life in Poland. We help with documentation, information, administrative and integration matters.

We support the search for archival documents, help navigate complex administrative procedures and, step by step, build a safe road to Poland. We make sure that adaptation in a new place becomes the beginning of a beautiful journey back to your roots.

Our activity is non-profit and carried out with passion, in line with the statutory goals of the Association.
