How we process your residence card — a transparent process at every stage

You won't be left alone with the bureaucracy. Our team supports you at every stage of obtaining your residence card — from the first consultation to receiving the finished document.

Free consultation and situation analysis

We thoroughly analyze your situation: the purpose of your stay, the documents you already have, and the best legal basis for obtaining a residence card in your specific case. We determine the optimal course of action, calculate the timelines, and inform you of the complete list of documents you'll need to prepare.

Document preparation and verification

Our specialists help prepare the full document package according to the requirements, check each document for accuracy, and help you obtain any certificates you're still missing (from your employer, educational institution, ZUS, etc.). This minimizes the risk of refusal due to formal errors.

Application submission and support with the office

We submit the application, track the case status, and independently handle all communication with the office — until a positive decision is reached. You won't need to visit the office or deal with the bureaucracy yourself: we regularly keep you informed of what stage your case is at.

Receiving the decision and residence card

Once a positive decision is made, we notify you and help arrange collection of the physical card. If needed, we also advise you on next steps: extending your stay, changing the conditions of your residence, or switching to a different type of card.
