Residence permit procedures

You came to Poland as part of a visa-free regime or on a visa basis.

If you want to stay in the country for longer or perhaps to settle permanently – you should apply for a residence card (residence permit). An application for a permit can be made for a variety of reasons, as long as they justify staying in Poland.

Depending on the reason for your stay, you should prepare documents indicated by law and submit them in the right place at the right time.

People submitting applications themselves often encounter problems. First of all, they result from the lack of understanding of the Polish language. But also because of the lack of knowledge regarding legal regulations or dubious practice of some officials .
