Who it is for

Living in Poland for longer than 3 months

A temporary residence permit is granted when the circumstances of your case justify a stay in Poland longer than 3 months, for the time its purpose needs but no longer than 3 years (Article 98 of the Act on Foreigners).

For several types of permit, the Act on Foreigners lists insurance among the conditions: health insurance, or confirmation from an insurer that treatment costs in Poland will be covered.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The voivode, head of the voivodeship office for the area where you stay in Poland, decides on the permit (Article 104).

Yes. An application filed while you are abroad does not start the procedure: the authority refuses to initiate it (Article 99(1)(10)).

A residence card. The Act says the first card is issued by the authority on its own initiative and, for a temporary residence permit, stays valid as long as the permit (Articles 229 and 243).

While it is valid, the card confirms who you are during your stay in Poland and, with your travel document, allows repeated border crossings with no visa needed (Article 242).
