How can I apply for international protection?

You can apply for international protection while entering Poland during your clearance procedure – tell the officer of the Polish Border Guard reviewing your documents that you would like to apply for international protection. Currently, due to heavy traffic at border crossings, it may not be possible to accept your application as you cross the border. If this is the case, you should receive a confirmation that your declaration of intent was received and be notified of the date and venue where your application will be received. You can also apply for international protection while already in Poland – you need to go to any office of the Polish Border Guard and notify an officer there that you would like to apply for international protection
