How to get Poland residence permit
Bases and list of documents
Foreigners who need to stay in Poland longer than they can do it on a visa-free basis (as for Ukrainians, for example) or a visa apply for the card. There are different grounds for legal stay in the country and further obtaining a residence permit. Here are the most popular:
Employment. Having a valid long-term employment contract is a strong basis. An important detail — your income must exceed the Polish minimum salary (from 01.01.2026 — 4,806 PLN), taking into account the needs of your family.
Business. The Poland Business Harbour visa allows you to get a card for a while. We will tell you how to get residence card in Poland correctly.
Study. If you are a student, you can apply for a residence and work permit.
Family reunion. Marriage with a Polish citizen is a legitimate reason to get an Hour's stay. As well as kinship with a person who has a resident permit (if temporary, then at least 2 years).
Preparation and translation
You will need 2 sets of documents — from the foreigner's homeland and from Poland. The first package needs to be translated. This is done by special sworn translators accredited by the state. We cooperate with a large number of such specialists, so we will easily solve your problem.
The second package of papers needs to be collected in Poland. Their list is different, mainly — an employment contract, salary statements, tax. Separately, there is a list of documents that will have to be sent every month.
Insurance
If you are not insured anywhere, we will help you get such services with a 30% discount. If you are already working, then surely your employer is already paying for you in NFZ. Together we will find out.
Application methods
There are different ways to apply for residence permit in Poland:
Through the office. In some voivodeships, you can submit your application through the main office. In this case, you will receive stamped confirmation that your documents have been submitted.
By mail. After sending your application by post, you will receive a confirmation (“the yellow slip”), which allows you to stay legally in the country until you are called in. Only from that moment does the processing time begin. We will guide you on how to complete the application form correctly and advise you on the next steps.
By email. This method is suitable for obtaining a temporary residence card based on family reunification or for a joint application. It is not available in all voivodeships.

Хочу искренне поблагодарить Latwy Start и отдельно Ольгу за отличную работу и поддержку на каждом этапе.
Ольга настоящий профессионал и при этом очень чуткий, внимательный человек. С самого начала она сопровождала меня шаг за шагом: помогала со сбором документов и подробно консультировала, а затем взяла на себя все организационные моменты и полностью сняла стресс, который обычно сопровождает такие процедуры.
С огромным удовольствием рекомендую её всем, кто ценит профессионализм, надёжность и человеческое отношение. И, без сомнений, обращусь к ней снова

Получил карту Сталэго Побыта при помощи Latwy Start по корням. Сам в это полностью не вникал. Сказали какие документы нужны и куда нужно прийти. Все сделал теперь карта на руках.

Оформлял карту сталего побыта, меня сопровождала Кристина. Все было хорошо: отношение было доброжелательное, вся информация предоставлялась вовремя, а пояснения были понятными и подробными. Процесс прошёл спокойно и без лишних переживаний.

Хочу оставить отзыв о работе Latwy Start, а именно о сотрудничестве с Ольгой. Она — профессионал с большой буквы и очень приятный человек.
Ольга помогала мне на каждом этапе: от сбора документов, где она постоянно консультировала меня и предоставляла примеры заполнения, чтобы всё было идеально, до самого посещения ужонда, где она сопровождала меня и полностью сняла стресс, связанный с процедурой.
После подачи Ольга регулярно информировала меня о статусе моего дела и делала всё возможное, чтобы его рассмотрели быстрее.
Я безмерно довольна её работой и обязательно обращусь к ней снова. Сегодня я забрала свою первую карту на 3 года, и точно знаю — без Ольги я бы не справилась!☺️

I’m really thankful to Olga for all her help. From answering the questions to receiving the residence permit. The process was smooth and there was no stress. That took only 5 months from application to obtainment.

Ставлю 1 звезду. Планировал начать сотрудничество через икнубатор. Отправил 3 письма, через мейл и форму на сайте, написал в инсте, сделал 2 звонка (без ответа). Потратил неделю на ожидание. Меня просто проигнорировали. Как можно доверять этому сервису, если фонд не в состоянии ответить на письмо и прислать документы для ознакомления. Жду объяснения

I highly recommend Łatwy Start! Thanks to them, my two kids and I received 3-year residence cards without any stress. Special thanks to manager Kristina — she was extremely helpful and even managed to speed up the process for my children. Excellent service, very satisfied!
Popular questions
Can I, working remotely for another country, somehow legalize in Poland?
Yes. There are several options to spend your income through the Polish tax service. Depending on the source of income and your type of activity, there will be different tax rates. And in some cases, it is even more profitable to receive foreign income in Poland due to VAT.
Do you assist in finding a job and help with employment?
We are not a recruitment agency. In addition to our core activity of legalization in Poland, our expertise includes assistance with setting up a sole proprietorship or company, handling transactions through the incubator, providing EOR services, preparing document lists for employers, and offering consultations.
How much should I earn to move to Poland and live there?
If you are moving alone and not as a refugee, the required amount depends on factors such as housing (a room or a separate apartment), food expenses, whether you have your own transport, and your general needs. If legalization is involved, the law requires you to earn at least the salary level specified for your profession in the relevant voivodeship.
How long does it usually take to process a case?
Approximately 3-4 months, if a complete set of documents was prepared immediately. And also, if you have sent timely relevant data or documents that may affect the decision-making.
In some cities, for example, Wroclaw and Gdansk, the time frame may be 1-2 years.
There are also delays in the issuance of plastic for up to 2 months.
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 needs to provide the required statements and extracts. In addition to these, you will need to submit several other types of documents. After that, the application is submitted to the office (urząd), where your personal presence is mandatory.
How can I check the status of the card and find out at what stage of the registration process?
You can submit a request through the special form on the Voivodeship portal or call the office (urząd). If no officer has been assigned to your case yet, this information can only be provided to you in person.
How many times can I apply for a residence permit?
As many as you want. But at the same time, a new application must be submitted within 14 days after receiving the refusal.
Is it possible to work while waiting for a residence permit?
Yes.
Is it possible to leave if I'm waiting for a residence permit?
Yes. Crossing the border does not affect the course of the case in any way. At the border, just show the stamp of waiting for the card (it is put in the passport). However, there are nuances — it is better not to leave for a long time (usually no more than a month for the entire period of consideration of the case). And if the visa is expired at the same time, it will not be possible to come back — you will have to open a new one.
Is it possible to travel around Europe with a residence permit?
Yes, but no longer than 90 days.
In which cases the residence permit is canceled? Can the employer cancel it?
— The foreigner provided false information about himself.
— Non-payment of taxes.
— The irrelevance of the purpose or intention on the basis of which the decision on extradition was made
The full list of persons is specified in Article 101
The employer cannot cancel the residence permit independently.
How long does it take to get a residence permit in Poland?
The processing time for a residence permit in Poland varies depending on the type of permit and the regional office handling your application. On average: Temporary residence permit (TRC): 2-6 months Permanent residence permit: 6 months or longer Long-term EU resident permit: 3 months or longer Processing times may be extended if additional documents are requested. To ensure a smooth application process, consider seeking assistance from an immigration lawyer or visa agency specializing in Polish immigration matters.
TRC and a Pole's Card - what is the difference?
TRC/PRC is a residence permit, and a Pole's card is just an identification to Polish nationality. The Pole's card allows you to study at state universities for free, get a one-time allowance, apply for a national visa and become a guest. After a year of receiving the PRC, you can already apply for citizenship. And in the case of a card of hours to stay, you get an EU resident after 5 years and after 3 more — citizenship.
