Why do you need a resident permit

The Gdansk residence card entitles you to legal residence in Poland for a long period of time. With it, you can travel freely in the Schengen area, work without additional permits and enjoy many social benefits on an equal footing with Poles.

But remember: a residence card is not only a right, but also an obligation. You must comply with Polish law, renew your documents in a timely manner and inform the authorities about changes in your status.

Financial aspects of living in Gdańsk with the Pobytu Card

  • Obtaining a Polish residence card opens the doors of the Polish financial system to you.
  • You will be able to open a bank account, which will make your money transactions much easier.
  • Having a Bevitu card allows you to participate in credit programs and other financial products.

As far as taxation is concerned, foreigners with a residence permit are obliged to pay taxes in Poland. This may seem burdensome, but remember: paying taxes is your contribution to the development of the city that has become your new home.

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 was applying for a permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu), and Krystyna guided me through it. Everything was fine: a friendly attitude, all the information provided on time, and clear, detailed explanations. The whole process went smoothly and without any unnecessary stress.

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.
