Can the issuance of a residence card be delayed?

The issuance of a residence card can be delayed for several reasons. Understanding these reasons will help you avoid unnecessary delays and ensure a smooth process for obtaining the document. In this article, we will review the main factors that can affect the delay in the issuance of a residence card and provide recommendations for obtaining this important document faster.

Main reasons for the delay in the issuance of a residence card

1. Your country of origin. If you come from a country that does not have agreements with Poland, this may cause a delay in the issuance of the residence card. In such cases, Polish authorities may spend more time checking your documents and processing your application. This applies to those who are applying for temporary or permanent residence status in Poland.
2. Incomplete or incorrect document package. This is one of the most common causes of delays. If documents are submitted with errors or are incomplete, it can significantly slow down the process. The preparation of the document package should be thorough, and it is better to consult a lawyer or specialist to verify the correctness of all formalities.
3. Overloaded immigration services. During periods of high numbers of applications for residence cards in Poland, immigration services may be overloaded. This can lead to delays in document processing. In such cases, it is important not to panic and carefully follow the deadlines for submitting all necessary documents to minimize the risk of delays.

How to avoid delays in obtaining a residence card?

• Prepare all documents in advance. Preparing the document package is the first step to avoid delays. Check all forms and documents before submitting the application.
• Consult a specialist. Consulting a lawyer or immigration expert will help avoid mistakes when submitting documents. Specialists will check if everything is filled out correctly and if necessary confirmations are provided.
• Monitor your application. Regularly check the status of your application and follow all instructions given by immigration authorities. Make sure not to miss any additional requirements or documents.
