So you have already filled out the application form and collected all the documents. What’s next? It’s time to make an appointment at the office at the Department of Foreigners.
Applications for a temporary residence permit can be submitted in person only after arranging specific date in the Foreigner Portal inPol. The instruction how to do it is here.
You have an appointment date, but you still don’t know if you can handle your visit to the Office? We know that formal matters can be really confusing. Let’s start with some basic information!
You can submit your documents to one of the three points of application receipt:
- Mazowieckie Province Office, Department of Foreigners, Marszałkowska 3/5, ground floor, stands 10-11, rooms 14 and 16.
When you enter the building, you should go straight and turn right. You do not have to take any ticket from the ticket machine – you already have your number, which you received by registering through the online calendar.
- Foreigners’ Service Point at 28 Jerozolimskie Avenue.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Remember that in the Office you will probably not get any information in English where to go. That is why it is important that you look around and find the right stand and room.
Office workers who will accept your application should speak English. However, we recommend taking a Polish-speaking friend 🇵🇱 to the meeting – it will make you feel more confident 😎
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If your application is accepted, you will receive a stamp in your passport. This means that your stay in Poland is legal from that day. Remember that the stamp in the passport does not entitle you to travel around the territory of other Schengen countries. You can go to your home country, but you should get a visa to return to Poland.
