If the expiry date on your Karta Pobytu has passed, the first thing you need to find out is what exactly has expired 🔍
⠀
Sometimes, it is only the physical residence card that has expired, while your legal right to stay in Poland is still valid 🇵🇱
⠀
In other cases, the basis for your stay - your temporary residence permit - has expired.. Then everything depends on whether you submitted a new application before your legal stay ended 😉
⠀
From there, the situation can be very different..
⠀
In one case, you may simply need to replace your residence card 🔃
⠀
In another, you may need to wait for a decision on an application you have already submitted and avoid leaving Poland while your case is pending ☑️
⠀
And in a third situation, your stay may already be irregular, meaning that every day matters 😱
⠀
🆘 Find out which situation applies to you:
⠀
• Has your physical residence card expired, but your residence permit is still valid?
⠀
• Is your residence permit expiring, but you submitted a new application on time?
⠀
• Did your legal stay expire before you submitted a new application?
⠀
Not sure which situation you are in?
