The process of obtaining a temporary residence card for foreigners in Poland involves several stages. Here is a general outline of the process:
Step 1: Entry into Poland: Before commencing the process of obtaining a temporary residence card, you need to enter Poland with a visa and have a permanent job that allows you to stay in the country for a sufficient period to apply for the residence card.
Step 2: Application submission: After arriving in Poland, we will submit an application for a temporary residence card. The application is submitted to the relevant regional office of the Voivode (Wojewódzki Urząd Wojewody) or the local office for foreigners (Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców). We will assist you in completing the application, providing the necessary documents, and paying the fee.
Step 3: Gathering the necessary documents: You will need to provide the following documents: passport or identity document, photographs, completed application form, proof of sufficient funds for living expenses, health insurance, documents confirming the basis for obtaining the temporary residence card (such as a job offer or enrollment in educational institution), and any other documents that may be required in your specific case.
Step 4: Application review: Your application for a temporary residence card will be reviewed by the competent authorities. In some cases, additional checks or interviews may be required. The decision on your application is usually made within several weeks to several months.
Step 5: Obtaining the temporary residence card: If your application is approved, you will receive a temporary residence card. The card will contain information such as your name, photograph, card number, validity period, basis for residence, and other relevant information.
It is important to note that the process of obtaining a temporary residence card can take a significant amount of time, and requirements may vary depending on your specific situation.
