According to the Law on Associations, the right to establish associations is granted to Polish citizens having full legal capacity and not deprived of public rights. Foreigners residing in Poland may join together to form associations in accordance with the rules applicable to Polish citizens. However, foreigners not having residence on the territory of the Republic of Poland may join associations, whose statutes provide for such a possibility (Polish law does not use the term migrant). There is a number of migrant associations operating in Poland.
