He'd (she'd?) need to enter EU on a valid visa or permit, can't just wander in and say "I might be Polish, not sure, can't prove it yet but let me in anyway and I really promise not to abscond or disappear, honestly and I'll get back to you"mashkiach wrote:I am trying to find the relevant regulations concerning a European by decent coming to Europe as a student and the chances of being refused entry. He is in the process of asserting his existing polish citizenship but wants to study in Europe during the whole process. I seem to recollect that a European may not be turned away before they have enough time to prove their EU citizenship. Can anybody direct me to the relevant guide/regulation
How can you be sure? The Poles might ask for this, ask for that, dispute this, dispute that, notarise that, notarise that. Indeed, there was a period early 20th century when Poland did not even exist...mashkiach wrote:It is not a question of might be polish. All documents and regulations show so. It is only the red tape until one can get a passport. This may take up to 9 months. I don’t even think that this person needs a passport. But due to the complicated Polish regulations this may well help.
Whatever the case I still seem to remember that an European may not be turned away before given a proper chance of proving their citizenship.
So if Poland does allow renunciation, just having a Polish grandfather wouldn't be sufficient evidence of Polish nationality.mashkiach wrote:And if the U.K. turns away a European who later has the full proof can a claim be made against the U.K.?
With the Polish it is not a case of attaining a new or even reclaiming an old citizenship it is only a question of proving an existing one. The polish do not allow renouncing citizenship before military draft or exemption. A child (his or even hers depending on date) is automatically a Pole and so his/her children.
Student visas are not that straight forward in this case as the collage is a specialised one and the government has ceased to treat it as one.
