The "Re:Polonia" Association was created for people of Polish descent, the Polish diaspora, and foreigners who wish to discover their roots, confirm their ties to the homeland, and safely build a life in Poland. We help with documentation, information, administrative, and integration matters.

We help you find archival documents, understand complex administrative procedures, and build a safe path to Poland step by step. We make sure the adaptation process in a new place becomes the beginning of a beautiful journey back to your roots.

Our work is social in nature and carried out with passion, in line with the Association's statutory goals.
