HOW TO GET A RESIDENCE CARD?
OUR SUPPORT
PAYMENTS
Temporary residence documents form the basis for issuing a Temporary Residence Card, which entitles the holder to legal employment and education in the Republic of Poland. A temporary residence and work permit is issued to foreigners whose stay in Poland is related to:
- Taking up employment,
- Starting studies at a higher education institution,
- Reuniting with family,
- Starting a business.
The Residence Card is not only a permit to reside in Poland but also entitles the holder to travel within the Schengen area for up to 90 days in every 180-day period. Foreigners holding a Residence Card can travel freely without needing a visa. During travel, it is necessary to carry a valid Residence Card, passport, and sufficient funds for the stay abroad.
Depending on the region where you submit your application, the waiting time for a residence card can vary significantly.
In typical cases, the process takes about 6 months, but in particularly challenging situations, it can extend up to 2 years.
Once you receive a positive decision on your residence card application, you should account for an additional month for the production and collection of the physical card. This means that even after receiving a positive decision, the actual receipt of the card may take some extra time.
If you are ready to obtain a residence card, we offer
- Full support in collecting and submitting documents.
- Consultations on all legal matters.
- Assistance in obtaining a temporary or permanent residence permit.
- Support at all stages of the residence card application process.
