What is a Temporary Residence Card?
A temporary residence card (karta pobytu czasowego) is an official document granting a foreign national the right to legally reside in Poland for more than 3 months. It is issued based on specific circumstances such as employment, studies, running a business, or family reunification. Possessing this card allows a person to live in Poland legally, access social services, work without additional permits, open bank accounts, and build a stable future.
Living abroad requires legal status. For many Ukrainians who relocated to Poland due to the war, the process of legalization is not just a formality — it is a necessity for stability, security, and integration. Obtaining a temporary residence card is a crucial step toward official status in the country. However, this process involves strict documentation, legal nuances, and long waiting periods that can overwhelm those unfamiliar with Polish law.
