A A A

The person may be granted a permit for tolerated stay when their expulsion could only take place to a country in which:

• their right to life, freedom and personal security might be threatened,
• they could be subject to torture or inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment
• they could be subject to forced labour,
• they could be deprived of the right to fair trial,
• they could be punished without there being any legal basis for this

- within the meaning of the Convention for the Protection of Human Right and Fundamental Freedoms drawn up in Rome on 4 November 1950.

A permit for tolerated stay may also be granted where the person's expulsion:

• might violate their right to family life within the meaning of the Convention for the Protection of Human Right and Fundamental Freedoms,
• might violate the rights of the child set forth in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 20 November 1989 in a manner which may represent a serious threat to their psychophysical development

- unless the foreigner's continued stay on the territory of the Republic of Poland constitutes a threat to state defence or security or public security and order protection.
