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.

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!☺️

Хотел бы оставить положительный отзыв о услугах данного агенства. Мои куратором была Ольга. Получил карту побыта, все понравилось: о всех нюансах получал информацию, на все вопросы Ольга отвечала, даже на самые глупые) Ничего не забыли, результат в виде карты получен, рекомендую!

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
