I dont know what you talking about adress registration. As far as collecting the card it will be issued automatically and then after 2-3 weeks when you go you have to show them the proof of the payment to there account of 50zl and you can collect your card. If you need any other information please post your query.

Then you don't know how this process works.

When you get the decision that says you have been approved you have to pay 50zl into the bank account on the letter and take that receipt plus a current Zameldowania (address registration) to the immigration office to collect the card.

Also...the decision letter should say when the card will be ready for pick up. You can collect it anytime after this as long as you do the above steps.

Regarding money in your bank account, this is not something which is fixed by them. Different cities in poland have different requirements. I am not sure about how much you should show but usually it works this way for example 300zl for house + 450zl for living approx = 750zl for 1 month, so if you show something like 10,000zl or more in your bank account can be enough. At times i have heard students showing 4-5000zl and also getting karta pobytu, so it depends. I guess in your case you alread have 1 year visa so they wouldnt think too much to give you karta pobytu but again i am not specialist and more money is better :) The address is

I have collected mine karta pobytu 3rd time last month and they never asked me to bring zmaldawania. Decision letter doesnt show the time when you can come and collect it usually is in 2-3 weeks. You have to contact them by phone or personally to check if they have got the card ready as this card comes from warsaw.If the card is ready you can pay 50zl to there account and show them the reciept and collect it :)

To apply for new karta pobytu one has to apply 45 days before the current one expires. I have a question if I am abroad and dont reach before 45 days to apply for the new one can i apply through post from my country in my embassy? or can I apply through the post and send the documents by post to immigration office in Poland? Or can I ask my friend to submit my documents on my behalf? As I am planning to be in poland 30days before the current expires so I would be late. Please suggest me something if someone was in similar situation. thanks.

They're getting a bit more flexible about this, at least in Warsaw. It is possible, if you really can't get a meldunek, to sign an oświadczenie that you can't - if the reason is credible (for example landlord abroad), they will accept that.

Other Voivodships may interpret the guidlines differently, but that is correct in Warsaw (I was speaking to the nice lady on ul. Długa last Thursday).

I would not be in Poland before 45 days to apply for next karta pobytu. I will be late by 10 -15 days. Is there a way where I can send application by post or some options if I cant return before 45 days to apply for karta pobytu. Please help if anyone was in similar situation

I don't know exactly,but as far as I know,you can leave all these documents to one person and write a agreement which prove you allowed this person to do so and blabla...and let this person go to the immigration office to hand in your documents.
Uwaga!when you come back to pick up thall these stuff(decision or card) you have to ask the same person for help to get the card,or they won't hand over to you.The other choice is that you write one more agreement to the office to show you are allowed by the applicant (the person who deliver your documents to the office)to take this card by yourself,which sounds a little bit stupid,and it happens to me last year,even though I have all kinds of documents to prove I'm the owner of the decision,it didn't work.So if you have your friend there, be sure take agreements with him or her and get the stamp on the agreement from the zero floor in one special room just for taking stamps.

Yes but to avoid problems, you'll need to ask the foreigners office for the precise wording that they want on such document (so as to avoid problems with them saying that your power of attorney is not valid) and then, far more importantly, have the document signed in the form of a notarial deed (i.e. you signing it is witnessed by a notary and the notary both signs and stamps the document to prove that you signed it).

Hello!

Hope people are checking this thread. I have an emergency situation. I am US citizen living in Wroclaw. My Schengen long-term D visa expires October 18. I had applied for Karta Pobytu (43 days before the expiration date of the visa) and the inspector said everything should be fine and all the documents are in order. But now she says it may take longer and I should leave the country, and she cannot give a provisional visa because I did not apply 45 days early. She advised me to go to Czech Republic or Germany. There she said I have to request a stamp from the police or border guards (because they are open borders of course) and then return with automatic 3 months as tourist to Poland to await decision.

This sounds fine, but I was suspicious about legality of not leaving Schengen. I called US embassy-Warsaw and they first said to leave Schengen. When I told him the advice from the Urząd Wojewódzki inspector, he was confused and then said maybe I should follow their advice and just make sure I have some letter from the inspector in case there are problems at the border.

What should I do? I am getting different answers from the government! The problem is I have a project I have to be here for next week, and I want to have the quickest option possible (i.e. go to Germany day of expiry, ask for stamp, return next day).

Advice appreciated! Dziękuję bardzo!

Get it in writing from her. If she refuses to give it in writing, then you don't need me to tell you anything more.

Anyway, this situation is strange - once the visa expires, you still have an ordinary 90 day tourist period - and you shouldn't need a stamp to confirm this. What you might have to do is take a trip to a non-Schengen country to get the stamp after October 18th, but really, there should be no need to do so, because once the visa expires, you just revert to tourist status (90 days in 180).

I can tell you for a categorical fact that under Schengen law - there is no possibility of obtaining a stamp at the intra-Schengen border. The stamp doesn't actually confirm anything, it's the actual dates that count. If she wants you to get a stamp, it'll have to be a trip outside of the zone.

Or you can argue with her, but I'd recommend just following what she says.

I see you're in Wroclaw, so take a daytrip to the UK - it'll be the easiest way.

Yes, safe choice if you missed the deadline is to go e.g. to Ukraine or the UK get a stamp and come back.

Thank you for the prompt reply. So is this a fact. That as a US citizen, once my Schengen D visa expires (and I have been pretty much in Poland the whole time, and thus not using up my 90 day tourist time in other Schengen countries), I automatically have 90 days tourist time in Poland. And I will not have to leave out of Schengen or Poland to receive this? THank you!

hi,
as I know PZU have one of the cheapest insurance
Listen what kind of Residence card you are aplaying (student, work etC.), because maybe there is soloution not to pay for the insurance at all.
write me more details on my private e-mail: dardzinskimichal@gmail.com
Where are you going to apply, because I have Immigration Advisory office in Warsaw and maybe I can help you with your procedure.
let me know

Merged thread:
Temporary Residence Permit for Non EU spouse

Hi,
I am an Indian guy married to a Polish girl, living in NY USA.
We have been married for over three years and have never lived in Poland after the marriage.

we will be in US in the foreseeable future - was wondering is it possible for me to obtain a temporary residence card; just want to avoid the hassle of obtaining Visa every time we travel to Poland. Till now I did not need a Polish visa as my company was headquartered in Paris and i had Visa to visit them. Have shifted jobs and my previous visa has expired.

also will the temporary residence card serve as a schengen visa Or will i still need to obtain a visa to visit other countries in Schengen.

Thanks !!

You don't need a visa - as the family member of an EU citizen, no visa is required for some (not all - be careful of the implementation of the EU Directive 2004/38/EC) EU countries. You must travel with the family member - but if you google about the directive, you'll find a wealth of information about the subject.

In general though, you have visa-free access to the EU.

Bhishma123	May 21, 11, 09:35 #113
Hi, Thanks for your reply! Is there a Document we need to obtain to show that we are family members Or just the marriage certificate will do. also i understood that the Visa requirement is waived,only if i am traveling with my wife- when i am traveling alone i still need a visa - please correct me if i am wrong? Rgds,

Hi...I'm new here .. and I Can't speak polish... I'm filling out the form of Residence card and this is 11 pages form .... and I don't know how should I fill out this ... need ur help

♂

Edited by: love_sunil80 Jan 15, 12, 10:54 #117

-----Correction--------
All Documents has to be translated in polish by a sworn translator and form has to be filled in polish language.
Karta pobytu has to be applied atleast 45 days before the expiry of your visa or Residence card.
Meldunek (Registration of house address in poland)
Health Insurance (specially in case of students it is a must)
Bank Account statment (Balance depends cant say in particular how much, Mainly for students)
Letter from college that you are student or Marriage certificate or Business/ Employment Documents
4 colour photographs 4,5cm x 3,5cm
PLN 340 has to be paid when submitting application
PLN 50 has to be paid when collecting karta pobytu

There is possibility to face an interview. Interview is made in Polish Language so people who can speak polish need to have a sworn Interpreter English-Polish. Usually decision is made within 45 days but in case if it takes longer you might get 3 months visa D category.

One application is made applicant recieves decision stating that he or she has been issuded karta pobytu for specified time limit and after that arround 15-20 days karta pobytu can be collected. This is general procedure. Documents can be needed more for different purpose of stay.

I hope this information is usefull and if you have some query please post here and I hope some or the other person can reply and help with queries :)

You can only travel

deepfern:

question -- can you travel if your Karta Pobytu is being renewed? I need to travel and my Karta is in the process of being renewed (you know how long it takes!)

Depends if you have got a visa still valid while you are travelling and returning back to Poland. You need to be more specific in order to give u complete info.
