Mechanisms of obtaining a TRC in Poland

Bases and list of documents

Before applying for a Chasovy Pobyt, it is necessary to select the grounds and to know exactly the full list of documents required for the application. The grounds can be (the most common):

Work - We can employ you, but in this case you will have to pay your salary and taxes). An important requirement is to earn more than the minimum wage for your profession and voivodeship, taking into account the costs for your family.

Private Security Company / Firm - in order to obtain a residence permit for opening a PEP or a company, you need to fulfill a number of requirements. For example, you must either show that your income for the previous year already exceeds 12 times the monthly income of the average monthly gross wage declared by the Central Statistical Office of Poland. Or prove that you are capable of earning that much in the future. In the second case there are many nuances and we will help you with them.

Family reunion - In this case, you must have a spouse who already has a temporary residence permit for 2 years, either permanent or Polish citizenship. We will collect a full package of documents and help you to achieve the necessary indicators for reunification.

Students - when you enter a university, and in some cases even a university with a specific specialization, you have the right to apply for a residence permit. After graduation, you will have every reason to seek employment in Poland as a qualified employee and on the basis of the obtained work you will be able to apply for a longer-term residence permit.

Preparation and translation of documents

After preparing the documents at home, they must be translated by sworn translators who are on the list of approved state translators.
After transferring the documents from your home country, you need to collect the documents internally in Poland. These will be at least: employment contract and salary statements from your place of work, if you are employed. Constituent documents, extracts from the tax office and ZUS for PSC and companies, extracts from the courts that there are no proceedings in the courts of Poland and many others. In addition, some of the documents will need to be sent every month.

We help our clients with document collection, translation and paperwork. We cooperate with a large number of sworn translators.

Insurance

You will need health insurance in order to apply for an hourly residence card. You must insure yourself and your family if you apply for it too. If you already have a job, your employer probably already pays for you in NFZ, this insurance is enough to insure the whole family (you must have the appropriate declarations). If you don't work anywhere else, we can tell you where to get the most inexpensive insurance with a discount of 30%, while it will cover emergency treatment with acute pain to the dentist. Of course, we will also help you apply for it and fill out all the necessary forms to get it.

Filling in application forms and submitting documents

You and I have prepared a complete package of documents, translated them. Now you need to fill in the forms and submit everything to the Foreigners' Office in Warsaw.
Documents are usually submitted in two ways:

Personal submission by pre-registration on a special electronic portal is a rather complicated procedure, since there are a lot of people who want to apply, and the number of places is limited. We have an extensive experience of registration and know how to do it from the first attempt;

Impersonal submission by mail. In this case, the terms of your case processing are increased by several months, since you will still need to come to the Department of Foreigners for fingerprinting, and only from that moment the time of the processing case will be counted. This way will go to those who urgently need to apply for a residence card, while the full package of documents has not been collected yet. It is enough to send a completed application form and a copy of the passport so that your stay in the country is legal from the date of sending the documents at the post office.

There's also a nominally third type of pitch - via e-mailit's made for families to reunite. You will be registered for filing 1 or more months in advance. In practice, the registration of personal filing is most often done through the state portal.

Questions and answers

How long does it usually take to process a case?

By law, the processing time is 60 days, but the deadlines for residence-permit cases have been legally frozen until 04.03.2027, so in practice a decision takes several months, sometimes longer. From 27.04.2026, applications are submitted only electronically via the MOS portal (mos.cudzoziemcy.gov.pl).

The case moves fastest when a complete set of documents is prepared at once and you promptly provide any requested data.

What conditions must be met by family members who apply for reunification on my Temporary Residence Card?

On their part, only the presence of fingerprints (not applicable to children under 6 years). They may not study or work, provided that your income covers their maintenance.

Should my employer take care of my Temporary Residence Card himself?

The employer only has to provide the necessary statements and extracts. In addition to them, you will be required to present other documents of various types. Then there is an appointment for submission to the migration centre, where your presence is mandatory. Booking an appointment takes place in a queue order (it is difficult to get to the most available one, and it takes much longer by mail).

I want to sincerely thank Latwy Start and especially Olga for the excellent work and support at every step.

Olga is a true professional and at the same time a very caring, attentive person. From the very start she guided me step by step: she helped me gather the documents and explained everything in detail, and then took on all the organizational matters and completely removed the stress that usually comes with such procedures.

I'm very happy to recommend her to anyone who values professionalism, reliability and a human touch. And I will absolutely turn to her again.

I got my permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu) with the help of Latwy Start, based on my Polish roots. I didn't really look into it myself. They told me which documents were needed and where to go. Got it all done, and now the card is in my hands.

Łatwy Start is a great choice for an IT specialist, everything runs like clockwork. A big plus is the full transparency about how invoicing (faktury) and payments are handled.

I want to leave a review about Latwy Start, and specifically about working with Olga. She is a true professional and a very pleasant person.

Olga helped me at every stage: from gathering the documents, where she constantly advised me and sent examples of how to fill them in so everything would be perfect, all the way to the visit to the urząd (office), where she went with me and completely took away the stress that comes with the procedure.

After I submitted the application, Olga kept me regularly updated on the status of my case and did everything she could to have it processed faster.

I'm incredibly happy with her work and will definitely turn to her again. Today I picked up my first card, valid for 3 years, and I know for sure - without Olga I wouldn't have managed!☺️

I'm giving 1 star. I was planning to start working with them through the incubator. I sent 3 messages - by email and through the form on the site, messaged them on Instagram, made 2 calls (no answer). I wasted a week waiting. They simply ignored me. How can you trust this service if the foundation can't even reply to a message and send documents to review. Waiting for an explanation.
