In general, if You are a EU citizen (as well as citizen of the European Economic Arena country outside the European Union or citizen of Switzerland) and You want to stay in Poland longer than 3 months, You have to register Your stay in Poland. If You are a spouse of a polish citizen, an employee or a self-employed person in the territory of Poland (meanwhile having a health insurance), a student with the sufficient income to cover the costs of living in Poland, or You are able to prove that You are a person with the sufficient income and You won’t rely on social aid, You are entitled to stay in Poland longer than 3 months, with the duty to register Your stay.

The permit is valid for maximally 3 years, with the possibility of applying for further permits. You will have to show that you have a place to live in Poland and can present a legal title to this place (e.g. deed of property, membership of a housing development, rental agreement).
