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.

When you say that you are "leaving every three months when my visa expires", do you mean that you leave and stay out for three months or that you leave and then come back the next day?

It is no longer legal to do visa runs every 90 days! Here is what your embassy has to say about that:
Americans living and traveling within the Schengen area will be affected as follows:

Within the Schengen area, internal checks at land and sea borders will be abolished on December 21, 2007. Random checks may still occur.
(For example – Persons traveling from Warsaw to Berlin or Prague will not pass through border check points leaving or entering Poland).

Internal checks at air borders for flights within the Schengen area will be abolished in March 2008.

Persons admitted to the Schengen area for tourism or business may stay for a maximum of 90 consecutive days within a 6 month period. They may enter and leave the Schengen area multiple times provided that the total number of days spent within the Schengen area does not exceed 90 days within the 6 month period.

Time spent within any country in the Schengen area (not just Poland) counts towards the 90 days.
Even though American travelers will no longer be subject to regular border controls when traveling within the Schengen area, the U.S. Embassy strongly recommends that American Citizens continue to carry their U.S. passport with them when traveling within the Schengen zone. Americans seeking to renew or replace their U.S. passport may do so in Poland at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw, the U.S. Consulate General in Krakow and the U.S. Consular Agency in Poznan.

RESIDENCE PERMITS

Persons seeking to work, study or reside in Poland and the Schengen area for longer than 90 days should apply for a residence permit. This can be done at the Polish Embassy or a Consulate in the United States, or at the regional Immigration Office in Poland (Oddział do Spraw Cudzoziemców przy Urzędzie Wojewódzkim). In Warsaw this office is at ul. Długa 5, phone: 022 695-6777 or 022 695-6787; office hours: Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on Wednesdays the office is closed.

Interesting. I've been living in Gdansk for two years with a karta pobytu and and am in the process for applying for the third time. I've done everything here in Gdansk-no need to go to Warsaw. And every time I've needed slightly different docs. For example, this time I needed five photos whereas in the past it was just four. No big deal.

It's definitely easier to go through the renewal process than the initial application.

The Schengen area has made it a little more difficult for non EU citizens to get residency because of the 90 day thing, but it's certainly still possible.

Usually they do, although I've never had one. I'm told that this time they may come to my school to do this since I'm seldom at home during the day. Remember, every office is different so I'm only speaking about my experience.

Hi everyone! I have a following question: if the person already applied for Karta pobytu but didn't get it yet, does he need to apply for his visa again? what's the status while he is waiting for his Karta? I'm talking about citizen of Uzbekistan which former soviet union. I appreciate your inputs!

Provided that the application was submitted within the deadline (which I believe is 45 days before the visa expires), the applicant can legally remain in Poland unless he is given notice that his application has been refused.

That's my understanding as well. And yes, 45 days before the visa expires is correct. I can't remember if the decision comes in 30 or 45 days after application,but unless the application is rejected you're OK.

Harry/scottie1113 - thanks a lot for prompt replies! One more question is there any source in English I can check on rules/regulations re Karta? With all procedures and stuff? Thanks again!

If you want you can contact guys from POLIN Expat Service Office (w w w.pol-in.com.pl/ang/) at least for free consultation.

They were very nice to me and obtained my work permit.

Hi,
I've live in Wroclaw for a month now, I'm a Indonesian Passport holder and have the National D visa (Polish long term-visa), Me and my fiance (he's a Poland citizen) are planning to go to Athens, Greece. I thought I might need to get a Schengen Visa, but the Greece Embassy in Warsaw replied my e-mail and told me that I could just get a Residence Permit (Karta Pobytu), then Schengen Visa won't be needed for me to enter Greece. Just the Karta Pobytu and my passport. Has anyone ever experienced similar condition like this?

Keep things simple - you would be well advised to get a Phillipine police check because that's what they'll be expecting. The general rule in Poland is no nasty surprises - if they think you're from the Phillipines, then they want a police check from there.

Having said this, getting a UK police check wouldn't be a bad idea in case they decide to be stubborn.

Every office in Poland has different requirements. I didn't know about the police check before I got here and I didn't have one, so I merely signed an affadavit that I wasn't an axe murderer, and voila! Kata pobytu approved. Ah, what they don't know...

Yes, for a fee, just because he can be bothered to search for the info on the internet, and you can't. Fool.

When I went to get my temporary residence card, I handed over my British passport and the clerk asked me if I had a visa. My wife pointed out to the bemused old dear that Poland and the UK were both in the EU and therefore a visa wasn't needed.
The next step was getting me registered for ZUS, for this I traipsed off to the nearest city and infact it all went smoothly. As for a PESEL, well have got round to that yet and so far no issues. EU legislation and Polish legislation as pretty fluid, half the time the officials are unsure of the laws themselves. Pretty much if you have an EU passport your main concern should really be Zus, as this entitles you to health care...

I will apply for Tempoary residence card and they asked for my rental contract & address registration.

I want to get temporary residence card for a year but my rental contract and registration will end in 2 months (at june). Do I need to renew my rental contract and address registration for one more year before applying Karta Pobytu ?

House Registration (Meldunek in polish) you can get only for the period of visa validity, so for example if your visa finish in june they can give you meldunek till june. When you apply for karta pobytu you can show your rental agreement for 1 year which is possible to do because your landlord can make it for you and with meldunek which would be valid till june as u said you can appl for karta pobytu with no problems, if you need more info post our question :)

Best way will be to renew the rental contract e.g. permanently (without due date). then your problem is solved. But for that you must talk to the landlord (e.g. just add an addendum to your rental contract that says that you rent this apartment without "end" date, with let's say 2-month notice). I fixed with my landlord like this and I don't have such problems anymore.

Hi there, hope everyone is doing fine.

I have received a "positive" decision with regards to my Karta Pobytu and they have granted me the permission to stay in Poland for the 1 year.

My question is:

I got confused a little merely because I am not sure whether my residence card will be processed automatically and I will go and pay 50zl + address registration and collect the card

OR

I have to pay them 50zl now + address registration to get the card processed.

I have gone carefully looked through different forums but the threads really vary, some people say you get the decision and then you go back to the office to pay them 50zl and one picture to get your id issued and some say the card get processed and you give them 50zl when you collect the card.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
