Waiting for your residence card? See what you can do
We will determine what is happening with your case and whether it is worth submitting a formal reminder (ponaglenie) or a court complaint about inaction. We start with a short initial assessment, not a ready-made letter.
When is it worth checking what is happening with your case?
There’s been no information for a long time.
You don’t know if the authority has done any more work or what else it needs.
I submitted the requested documents
You answered the official request, but you still haven’t received a decision or an explanation.
Check whether you can submit a formal reminder or a court complaint
Enter the application date and answer three short questions. We will show how many days you have been waiting, what action is available and how much it costs.

CURRENT NSA CASE LAW
Does Article 100d of the Ukrainian Special Act still matter?
Yes, for the authority. Article 100d formally remains in force until 4 March 2027. When examining a formal reminder, the Head of the authority for Foreigners acts under the statute and cannot independently refuse to apply it on constitutional grounds. The response to a formal reminder may therefore rely on Article 100d.
What can the court do? An administrative court has a different role. In a particular case, it may refuse to apply Article 100d. The Supreme Administrative Court considers that, for the period after 30 June 2024, the continued restriction of the right to a court was no longer proportionate. An authority’s response based on Article 100d therefore does not prevent a complaint about inaction or excessive delay.
