Why we built Senavia

For a long time, Turkish speakers who wanted to come to Poland, live or work here, form a company, expand their business into Europe, or solve something they were stuck on in Poland had two options.

Two ways

1. Give up. Shelve the idea; leave the residence renewal to the last day; put the letter from the authority in a drawer with "I'll look at it later"; postpone the company for one more year.

2. Go it alone. Processes that run in Polish, each with its own authority, each with its own specialist: immigration adviser, lawyer, accountant, translator. Finding out who does what takes longer than the work itself. One wrong step adds months.

The second is not impossible. It is exhausting, slow and error-prone.

We lived it ourselves

In 2025 we came to Poland on a Schengen visa. We formed our company here and filed our residence application in Poland while our legal stay continued. On paper, a tidy sequence; living it was not.

We did not speak Polish. We did not know how things work here: which office handles what, which document goes in which order, what happens after an application is filed. We ran the process on hearsay rather than knowledge: what someone's acquaintance said, what a forum thread claimed, the interpretation of whichever clerk was at the desk that day. We got two different answers to the same question in two places and learned which one was right only from the outcome. The most tiring part was being on the waiting side: we could not control the process itself, only try to fit whatever mood the people in front of us were in that day.

Then we saw others stuck in the same places. Since then we have helped many people who wrote to us, who were making the same mistakes on the same hearsay, putting the same letter in the same drawer. That is where Senavia starts: someone walking the road we walked should not have to feel their way along it as we did.

The third way

Senavia exists to fill the gap between those two.

We are a company based in Poland: Senavia Group Sp. z o.o., registered in Szczecin (KRS 0001220924), working across Poland. We are a Turkish-speaking team. All communication on your side runs in Turkish; we handle communication with the authorities and the partners.

Working with us means:

• One Turkish-speaking contact. Wherever you live, if the process is in Poland or runs through Poland, we are your contact.
• Who does what is clear from the start. Process coordination, appointments, documents and correspondence sit with us. Steps that require a licence, meaning applications, contracts, returns and sworn translation, sit with the licensed partner. What we don't do is also in writing: we are not legal representation, we don't find jobs, and visa and residence decisions are made by the authorities.
• Written follow-up. A written update in Turkish at every step, in one place. In our own process this was the thing we missed most.
• No ready-made package prices. We listen to your situation first, clarify which steps are needed and who does them; then we send a written scope and proposal together with the relevant partner. No two situations are alike.

Who does the work

We are two people and our roles are clear. When you write to us, Sena reads it first; she runs the process, the calendar and the correspondence with the authorities, and she is your single Turkish-speaking contact. At the critical points that need technical knowledge or a decision in the process, Savaş steps in: which route, which structure, what we leave to the partner. Not a structure that passes you from one pool to another, but two people who personally read every file.

Four stops

We built the site around your situation, not around our list of services:

• I'm in Poland — residence expiring, a letter from an authority, stuck on CRBR or ZUS in your company, hiring someone: for those in Poland who are stuck somewhere.
• Start a company — Sp. z o.o. or sole proprietorship; formation, bank, tax, accounting and, if you wish, residence through the company.
• Expand to Europe — marketplaces and your own store for a business selling products; a contact point in Poland for a B2B firm.
• Coming to Poland — a job offer, family, studies or your own company: we clarify the four routes and run the process for those who have a basis.

And there is our technology side: we track processes with software; we build marketplace integrations, automation and web infrastructure ourselves.

Why Poland

Because we are here. Our company is registered here, our team lives here, we use the institutions and the processes every day; our own files went through the same offices. Poland is also inside the European Union: a company formed in Poland and sales made through Poland open onto the rest of Europe; Polish residence gives ease of travel within Schengen, not the right to live in another country.

What this blog is for

These are the field notes of a young company:

• Situations — a letter from an authority, what to do; the residence renewal calendar; the first 90 days after formation.
• Processes — the steps we run a process with; who does what.
• Experiments — the tools we use to track our own processes.

We don't write fictional success stories. We will publish signed case studies as clients approve them.
