Build your stay timeline

The answers provide only a preliminary picture; exact dates and documents are essential.

This is a preliminary assessment. The final route depends on your documents and the current rules.

Legal-stay timeline

The review starts with one complete timeline: entries and exits, visas, cards, visa-free stay, UKR/CUKR, applications, UPO confirmations, decisions and appeals. One missing period can change the conclusion.

Stay and work rights are separate

A document proving lawful stay does not always authorise work. For every period, check the residence basis, labour-market access and the conditions of the specific employment separately.

Travel while a case is pending

A filed application and UPO are not travel documents. Before leaving, separately verify the basis for re-entry under a valid card, visa or visa-free regime.

Frequently asked questions

What will I receive during the consultation?

We review your current legal basis, deadlines and risks, and explain a suitable next step.

Can you help if my legal stay has already expired?

Yes. In this situation it is important to assess the available options as soon as possible. We explain honestly what can and cannot be done.

Is this a one-off service or can support continue?

You can start with a consultation and continue with case support if needed. The choice remains yours.

Does a stamp or UPO always legalise stay?

There is no universal answer. Timely and correct filing, completion of formal requirements and the individual case history matter.

Does lawful stay mean a right to work?

No. Work authorisation is assessed separately and may depend on the employer, document, status and employment terms.

What is needed for a status review?

A passport, complete travel and status history, copies of applications, UPO confirmations, decisions, letters, and work or study details for the period in question.

What is the best first step?

Start by reconstructing the facts and dates, then confirm the legal basis before collecting documents. This keeps the list aligned with your actual situation.

Can the authority request additional documents?

Yes. A standard list does not limit the authority, which may request explanations or further evidence needed to assess the individual case.

Are original documents required?

Keep the originals and take them to an in-person visit if requested. Electronic copies must be complete, readable and in the required format.

Is a sworn translation required?

Documents not issued in Polish often require a translation by an authorised translator. The exact scope depends on the procedure and the document.

How long does the procedure take?

An exact duration cannot be promised in advance. It depends on the authority, document completeness, checks and any additional requests.

What should I do after receiving an official request?

Record the delivery date, read every requested item, the deadline and the response method. Reply in the same structure and keep proof of submission.
