Visas de retraite, pensions et soins de santé pour les retraités
Retirement Visa Program
Poland has no dedicated retirement or passive income visa. Expats can apply for long-term national D visa or residence permit based on stable income, family ties, or other grounds via Voivodeship Office, renewable leading to permanent residency after 5 years.
Pension System
PAYG system managed by ZUS (first pillar) with voluntary third pillar (IKE, IKZE). Average replacement rates around 50-60% for median earners; minimum pension 1780 PLN gross in 2025, plus 13th/14th payments.
Pension Adequacy
Replacement rates 50-60% based on contributions and career length; minimum pensions sufficient for basics but low for comfortable living. Supplementary voluntary pensions encouraged due to weak uptake in second/third pillars.
Healthcare Access
Universal public healthcare via NFZ available to legal residents and contributors. Quality care in public hospitals with private options; seniors get free medicines from list and medicine compensations.
