RESIDENCE CARD - PROCEDURE

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.
