- book an appointment at the voivodeship office early, especially in larger cities like Wrocław
- keep copies of all submitted documents and confirmations of payment

FAQ: residence card in Poland
How long does it take to get a residence card in Poland?
On average it takes 3–6 months, sometimes longer. It depends on the voivodeship, the workload of the office and the quality of your file. A clear and complete residence permit application reduces the risk of additional letters, requests and delays.
When should I apply for a residence card?
It is safest to start preparing documents 1–2 months before your visa, previous residence card or other legal basis expires. This gives you time to gather documents and arrange an appointment at the office in Wrocław or another Polish city.
Can I work while waiting for my residence card?
It depends on your current legal basis (visa, work permit, stamp in the passport or PESEL-based protection). During the intake we explain what rules apply in your case and how to stay compliant while your residence card is being processed.
