Legal stay and visas

22.06.2025 20:02:20 In Poland, a humanitarian visa (type D with the “humanitarian reasons” annotation) granted to Ukrainian citizens is typically not extendable in the traditional sense. However, if a Ukrainian citizen found legal employment, they may apply for a temporary residence permit (karta pobytu) based on work. To switch from a humanitarian visa to a residence permit, you must: 1. Submit the application for a temporary residence permit before your visa expires. 2. Provide a job contract and confirmation from the employer. 3. Include documents proving stable income, health insurance, and accommodation. 4. Stay in Poland legally during the procedure. While the visa itself can’t be extended, legal stay may be prolonged through this transition. It's advisable to consult with the local Voivodeship Office or a legal advisor to ensure proper timing and documentation.

23.06.2025 20:58:21 Yes, it is possible for a Ukrainian citizen in Poland on a humanitarian visa to extend their stay if they find a job. Once employed, the person can apply for a temporary residence permit based on employment. This requires submitting an application to the local Voivodeship Office before the humanitarian visa expires. The application must include a valid employment contract or job offer, proof of accommodation, health insurance, and documents confirming the applicant’s identity and legal stay. The permit can be granted for the duration of the employment contract, usually up to three years. It is important to apply in a timely manner to avoid any gaps in legal status. Extending the humanitarian visa itself is generally not possible, but transitioning to a work-based residence permit is the proper legal path.
