Military qualification in 2023 - who does it cover?
According to regulations regarding military qualifications, the obligation to appear for this procedure applies to all men and some women who turn 19 in a given calendar year.

Conscription to the army and stay abroad - What is the situation of people staying abroad?
Drafting into the army does not include reserve soldiers, who have permanent residence abroad and are able to prove this fact. In the case of citizens Polish staying abroad, the mere fact of staying abroad does not automatically exempt them from the obligation to appear for military exercises or military qualifications. These persons must report their residence or stay abroad to the competent offices or provide appropriate documents confirming their permanent residence abroad. Lack of registration in Poland or having a certificate confirming permanent residence in another country may constitute evidence for permanent residence abroad.
