Without Stress and Bureaucracy

Yes. If the purpose of a foreigner’s stay in Poland is employment, but they wish to change their employer while their stay is still being legalized (i.e. before receiving the final decision), this is possible. It is necessary to submit an application for a change of employer, collect all required documents from the new employer, and submit them to the relevant voivodeship office.

The following documents are required for vehicle registration in Poland: 1) Vehicle registration card (Karta pojazdu) — as of 04.09.2022, this document is no longer required; 2) Vehicle registration certificate (Dowód rejestracyjny).

A residence card is a document that allows a person to live and work in Poland without the need for a visa. There are several types of residence cards: Temporary Residence Card (Karta czasowego pobytu) — a document confirming that a temporary residence permit has been granted in Poland. It is issued for a period of up to 3 years. Permanent Residence Card (Karta stałego pobytu) — a document confirming that permanent residence has been granted. Its main advantage is that it is granted for an indefinite period; however, the physical card itself must be renewed every 10 years.

A Temporary Residence Card is a document that allows a foreigner to stay in Poland for more than 90 days. It is issued for a period of up to 3 years. The card serves as proof of identity and confirms the holder’s legal stay in the country. It also allows the holder to cross the Polish border during the validity period specified on the card.

A Permanent Residence Card is a document confirming the right to live in Poland indefinitely. However, the physical card itself must be renewed every 10 years.

Stay under the visa-free regime is considered short-term and is limited to a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. In practice, this works as follows: when checking compliance with the visa-free stay limit, border authorities calculate the number of days a foreigner has spent in the Schengen Area during the 180 days preceding the date of inspection. If there was a 90-day break between trips to the Schengen countries, the previous 180-day period is no longer taken into account. After such a break, the holder of a biometric passport again has the right to stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days. If there was a 90-day break between trips to the Schengen countries, the previous 180-day period is no longer counted — after such a break, the holder of a biometric passport again has the right to stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days.

Yes, temporary protection may be granted again after arrival in Poland. In this case, upon entry, you must inform the authorities that you are entering Poland due to the hostilities in Ukraine. If you enter Poland through the Polish border, which is also the external border of the Schengen Area, temporary protection is granted automatically. Temporary protection status may also be restored by submitting a new application for a PESEL number. The authority responsible for registering this data is the municipal office (gmina), as in the case of the initial PESEL application. After reapplying for a PESEL number, the existing number will be updated by reassigning UKR status to it. Please note that the final decision on admitting a citizen of Ukraine to the territory of Poland or refusing entry remains solely with the Border Guard of the Republic of Poland. Temporary protection status may also be restored after submitting a new application for a PESEL number. The authority responsible for registering this data is any municipal office (gmina), just as in the case of the first PESEL application. After reapplying for a PESEL number, the existing number will be updated by reassigning the UKR status to it. Please note that the final decision on admitting a citizen of Ukraine to the territory of Poland or refusing entry remains solely with the Border Guard of the Republic of Poland.
