The Office for Foriegners in Poland informs that soon the application process for the residence permit in Poland will be possible only through the electronic system (called MOS). The exact date will be provided at least 14 days prior to its launch; the Minister of the Interior and Administration will issue an official announcement specifying the exact date.
From the moment the new MOS system is operational, submitting applications for temporary residence, permanent residence, and EU long-term residence permits will be possible exclusively in electronic form via the MOS portal.
We encourage you to regularly check the Office website and social media for updates. Please also read the frequently asked questions and other informational materials regarding legal migration.
Access to the MOS system will be free of charge. You can apply by your own, without the need to use paid services of the agents. Your only costs include the stamp duty at the time of applying (between PLN 340 and PLN 640) and a fee for issuing the residence card (PLN 100).
To apply for a residence permit in Poland, you need to:
• Create a user account in the new MOS system; if you already have an account in the existing MOS system, you will have to create a new one!
• Personally log in to the MOS portal via login.gov.pl (you will be redirected after clicking “Log in”) and fill the relevant application form for a residence permit in Poland;
• Add the required attachments,
- Sign the application electronically – you need to have a trusted profile, qualified electronic signature or personal signature;
NOTE!
An application received by the Voivodeship Office in paper after the launch of the new MOS portal will not be considered (the application will be left without examination) – the postmark date (mailing date) will not be taken into account.
