FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Didn’t find your answer? Message us - we’ll reply shortly.

Do you work under a contract?

Yes. We sign a written contract in Polish that sets out the scope of work, the price and the stages.

What is the difference between “Filing” and “Full service”?

“Filing” ends when you have the UPO and the case number. With “Full service” we handle your case under a power of attorney until you get the card: fingerprints, wezwania, certificates and deadlines.

Are state fees included in the price?

No. State fees (opłata skarbowa) are set by law and paid by the client separately. Our packages cover only our work.

What if I don’t have a Profil Zaufany?

We’ll help you create or restore it - it’s part of the first stage of our work.

How long does it take to get a residence card?

Processing time for a karta pobytu depends on the voivodeship: from a few months to a year or more. You’ll find average times by city (across our cases) in the “How your case goes” section, and an exact forecast at the free assessment.

What if my employer won’t give me the documents?

We’ll tell you which documents are required and contact your employer ourselves.

Can I leave Poland while I’m waiting?

It depends on your citizenship and status. We’ll review your case before the trip so you don’t have problems coming back.

What if my application is refused?

A refusal isn’t the end: you can file an appeal (odwołanie) or fix the documents. We’ll review the decision and propose a plan.
