No one can say better about us than our clients.
Хочу оставить отзыв, потому что ребята реально заслуживают благодарности. Моя ситуация тянулась очень долго: больше года после подачи документов и уже около шести месяцев после сдачи отпечатков пальцев не было вообще никаких. Всё время висел статус «анализ материалов», и ничего не менялось. Решила обратиться в эту фирму, и с этого момента дело наконец сдвинулось с мёртвой точки. Уже на первой консультации мне всё спокойно и понятно объяснили: какая у меня ситуация, что можно сделать, какие документы нужно донести или исправить. Сразу стало видно, что люди знают свою работу и реально разбираются в процессе. Дальше всё прошло очень быстро и чётко. Помогли со всеми формальностями по карте побыту, всё подготовили как нужно, и уже через два месяца после обращения я получила положительное решение. Всё это время была поддержка от начала и до конца, на любые вопросы отвечали, подсказывали и помогали. Отдельно хочу отметить Кшиштофа — настоящий профессионал, видно, что человек с большим опытом. И большое спасибо Зюзанне за очень приятное и внимательное отношение: всегда на связи, всё объяснит, подскажет и поможет. Я правда очень благодарна за помощь. Всё прошло чётко, грамотно и без лишнего стресса. Смело могу рекомендовать всем, кому нужна помощь с легализацией в Польше.
Z pełnym przekonaniem możemy polecić tę firmę i Pana Krzysztofa w zakresie pomocy przy uzyskaniu karty pobytu. Cały proces przebiegł zdecydowanie szybciej, niż gdybyśmy zajmowali się tym samodzielnie. Od samego początku mogliśmy liczyć na terminowe wsparcie, jasne wyjaśnienia oraz bieżące informowanie o wszystkich krokach i etapach postępowania. Każda nasza wątpliwość była szybko rozwiewana, a komunikacja była sprawna i profesjonalna. Firma aktywnie kontaktowała się z Urzędem, monitorując sprawę i podejmując działania w celu przyspieszenia wydania decyzji, co było dla nas ogromnym wsparciem i odciążeniem. Całe doświadczenie oceniamy bardzo pozytywnie – profesjonalizm, zaangażowanie i realna skuteczność. Zdecydowanie polecamy!♥️♥️♥️
I had a very good immigration consultation with Krzysztof regarding my current TRC and how we can proceed with the next TRC process. He was excellent at explaining everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. If you’re looking for an immigration consultation, this is definitely the right place and the right person.
Благодарим Пана Кшиштофа и его команду за помощь в получении карт побыта для нашей семьи! 🥹 Мы ждали больше года хоть какого-то движения по делам, своевременно доносили все документы, писали во все возможные каналы связи, но ответа так ни разу и не получили! И самым лучшим решением было обратиться за помощью в Польский центр резиденции. Скажу честно, в самом начале были некоторые опасения, что результата может и не быть, как и у множества наших друзей, которые оплатили за ускорение дел и ничего не получилось. НО после первой консультации все сомнения ушли. 🤝 Нам все рассказали, объяснили и просто «взяли нас за руку» и провели через весь процесс получения карты всего за 3 месяца «под ключ»: ребята сами доносили все документов в Ужонд, отслеживали статус дела, записали на получение карты и лично сопровождали нас сегодня при получении карт на руки! 😊 От души рекомендую вашу компанию! Желаю вам процветания и много довольных клиентов! 🤍

Frequently asked questions about a permanent residence card
The most common questions concern documents for permanent residence, waiting time, conditions for obtaining and contacting the office.
What documents are needed for permanent residence?
The scope of the documents depends on the basis of the proposal. A valid passport, application form, photos, document confirming the basis of permanent residence (e.g. Polish card, marriage certificate, documents confirming origin, international protection decision), confirmation of the check-in or address of the stay and proof of the tax fee are usually required. In some cases, the office may request additional documents.
How long does the application for permanent residence take?
Under the rules, the case should be dealt with without undue delay and in cases more complicated than two months after the initiation of the procedure. In practice, waiting times are longer and depend on the provincial office, the number of cases and the completeness of documents.
Can I apply before the end of the visa or current stay?
Yeah. The application must be submitted during a legal stay in Poland, preferably before the expiry of the visa, visa-free movement or current residence card. The timely submission of the application in principle allows to remain legally in Poland until the decision is made.
Who can be granted a permanent residence permit in Poland?
The law provides for several grounds, including: Polish origin, possession of the Polish Charter, marriage to a Polish citizen after fulfilling statutory conditions, refugee status or subsidiary protection, residence tolerated in certain cases and some other situations indicated in the Foreigners Act.
Can I work in Poland after applying?
Just submitting an application does not always give automatic right to work. This depends on your previous residence status and employment base. Upon permanent residence, the foreigner has free access to the labour market in Poland without a work permit.
What if the office calls me to complete my papers?
Reply within the time limit indicated in the letter and provide the required documents or explanations. Failure to react may leave the application unidentified or a negative decision is taken. It is worth carefully examining the content of the call.
Do you help after a refusal?
Yeah. An appeal may be brought against a refusal to the second instance within the time limit specified in the instruction of the decision (typically 14 days after service). In some cases, a complaint to the administrative court is also possible.
Are you helping cases after a long inactivity of office?
Yeah. If the office does not take action for a long time, a reminder may be lodged and, in certain situations, an action may be brought before the administrative court.
Are you helping customers outside the Pomeranian Voivodeship?
Yeah. Many stages of the case can be conducted remotely. However, it should be remembered that the competent provincial office depends on the whereabouts of the foreigner in Poland.
Can consultation take place online?
Yeah. Online consultation is possible and often sufficient to analyse the situation, check documents and plan further actions.
