Temporary Residence card-Karta pobytu

Harry:

Because failing to offer an interview which is required in order to settle as a worker in an EU member state in the language spoken by a citizen of an EU member state would constitute a barrier to the free movement of labour which is supposedly guaranteed to all EU citizens.

If I'm not mistaken, EU citizens wouldn't have to have an interview.
But then I'm not an EU citizen and I never had an interview as such (besides the normal process of visiting the offices to keep the karta up to date) so I'm not sure what the original person is talking about.

At any rate, for non-EU citizens seeking long term (or permanent) residence in Poland, the ability to function in the local language does not seem to be an unreasonable demand.

EU citizens are getting a piece of paper with a stamp on it, which is useless for identity purposes. Probably because the vast majority of EU citizens have ID cards, except us and the Irish :(

But nothing has changed for non-EU citizens, as far as I know...

I am planning to get married in Poland in July,i have been to Poland before and i have settled everything at the registry and the date is set.I learn't that i can use a tourist/visit visa to get married in Poland as i am not an EEA/EU citizen.i just want to know if this will have no implication when i am applying for the residence permit in Poland,or do i need to let the visa officer know specifically while applying for this visa that i am going to get married in Poland?cause my fiancee need to write the purpose of visit on the invitation i guess and i might get questioned by the visa officer as to the purpose of the visit,someone adviced us to just write visit because it will harder to get the visa once they know we are planning to get married.Your candid advice will be highly appreciated.

Aha, I don't have the KP. I have some other fiddly thing. Even though I'm an EU national, I needed to get it.

OK so I have a UK bank account which I can't currently get statements from, and to get the Meldunek I need to ...? Take my landlord WITH me for the interview? Can only assume he will be willing as he wants the rent paid by bank standing order.

No, I think you are confusing two seperate processes - zameldowanie and karta pobytu.

To get your zameldowanie you need your landlord (either written consent to live at the address or him/her in person depending on what mood they are in at the office).

To get your karta pobytu you need to demonstrate you are self-sufficient which usually requires that you either show a recent bank statement with some money in it or demonstrate that you possess credit cards etc.. etc..

For what it's worth, Wielkopolska is defining self sufficiency as either a bank account statement from a Polish bank or a contract of employment with the salary stated on it.

Of course, no-one is defining just what you need to have in the bank account.

hi! I would like to ask, if I am staying in Poland longer than 3 months but in that time I go back to my home country for, let's say, a week, do I still need karta pobytu?

If you're EU, then you can do whatever you like and it's highly unlikely anyone will care.

If you're non-EU, then the Schengen rule is 90 days in every 180 day period. Overstaying this is likely to get yourself in all sorts of bother and going home won't reset the clock :)

I am EU. Thank you for answer :)

I'm a brazilian but I live in Poznan with my polish fiancé. I have karta pobytu serie PL valid until June 2009. Next week I need to start the process to renew it. My questions are: 1- Is it enough to have karta pobytu to travel around Europe? 2- What the documents I need to get married with my fiancé. I knew that I need a document from the brazilian embassy that says that have no restrictions to get married, along with birth certificate, but since Feb. 2009, the embassy don't give this document. I appreciate if anyone can help me.

Have you ever thought in your life sami of a time when you should consider what you are writing as to it's value and importance, as to whether it is going to make a significant difference in someone's life... or should you just shut up and be quiet?
Let me tell you my friend..............................., you should have seriously considered the latter in this case!!!

There are only two people on this forum who I would consider experts at this, one is contentious 'Harry', love to have a beer with this guy one day as he is full of knowledge.

It's both to blame, the goverment made a decent welfare state so that the hard working, if they fall upon hard times had someone to look after them and secure their quality of life. But that was squandered by the greedy and lazy.

I'm a brazilian living in Poznan with my polish fiancé. I have karta pobytu serie PL, which is good until June 2009. Next week I'll need to start the process to renew it. My questions are: 1- As we're planning our vacation, I would like to know if it's enough to have karta pobytu to travel around Europe? 2- Does anyone know what kind of documents I need to get married with my fiancé? Of course we'll go to the urząd to ask, but would be nice if someone could share the experience.

Anyone?

Why do they need a certificate?

sylvia004	Sep 3, 09, 21:41 #57
they need a certificate that, i think, proves that you dont owe any tax, e.g. here in britain. what do you think? (this requirement is listed in the polish consulate's website).

Were you self-employed? If so you would have your tax returns showing you have paid the correct amount of tax for your earnings. If not and you were PAYE then there isnt much chance you would owe tax in the UK, by the sounds of it they want to see your P60 which you get at the end of each tax year which shows your earnings for the last 12 months...more like they want see what they can screw out of you.

Hey. I am getting married in Poland in May, living here now and leaving every three months when my visa expires. I would like to get some sort of legal residence before the wedding to make things a bit better and safer for everyone, but not sure if this is possible. I am not working so that option is out and even if I were, I would have to return to the US to get my work permit anyhow (according to migrant.info.pl) If anyone can help me out here... would be greatly appreciated.
