Temporary residence permits due to other circumstances (due to the rights arising from Decision 1/80 of the Association Council of the Republic of Turkey and the EEC)

Documents

a. Documents required at the application stage

A foreigner applying for a temporary residence permit submits to the voivode competent for the place of their stay:

• completed, in accordance with the instruction, application form for a temporary residence permit - under pain of leaving the application unprocessed. Rules for completing the application are presented in the following stage: “Completing the application”. This section also contains the application itself to be filled in in MOS and downloaded.

• 4 up-to-date photographs that clearly show the foreigner's face, without a hat and obscuring lenses, meeting the detailed criteria defined by law - under pain of not processing the application.

• a photocopy of a valid travel document (at the same time presents the person accepting the application with its original for inspection - under pain of leaving the application unprocessed);

In a particularly justified case, if a foreigner does not have a valid travel document and they are not possible to obtain it, they may present another document confirming their identity in a way that does not raise any doubts. At the same time, they should document the objective inability to obtain a travel document and the efforts made to obtain it.

• Proof of payment of stamp duty. Go to the "Stamp duty” step for more information.

b. Other documents

At the stage of submitting the application, it is also desirable to present the documents necessary to confirm the data contained in the application and the circumstances justifying the application for a temporary residence permit. The date of settling the matter depends on the date of its submission. If the required documents are not attached to the application, the voivode calls for them to be sent within a period of not less than 14 days.

Such evidence is not subject to the consequence of leaving the application unprocessed and may be supplemented in the course of the proceedings. However, it should be remembered that attaching full documentation already at the stage of submitting the application is in accordance with the interest of the party. It organizes and simplifies the procedure, because already at the initial stage, the authority can make correct determinations with regard to the foreigner's situation, which undoubtedly speeds up the process of processing the application and reduces the risks associated with the need for supplementing documentation by a foreigner in the further course of the procedure for granting a temporary residence permit.

The evidence to be presented in the proceedings includes:

• the documents proving the acquisition of rights under Decision No. 1/80 of the Association Council of the Republic of Turkey and the EEC of 19 September 1980 on the development of the Association, which was set up by the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, signed in Ankara on 12 September 1963, i.e., in particular documents confirming the course of employment in Poland, including those justifying breaks in work, such as m.in employment contracts, employment certificates, certificates from ZUS;

• the contract constituting the basis for performing work in Poland;

• power of attorney with stamp duty if the foreigner wants to be represented by a proxy.

Remember!

• the documents should be attached in the original or in a copy certified to be a true copy of the original by a notary public or the party's attorney who is an attorney-at-law or legal advisor; certification of the compliance of the copy with the original may also be made by an authorized employee of the voivodeship office in the administration office, upon presentation of the original document;

• documents drawn up in a foreign language must be presented together with a sworn translation into Polish; the register of sworn translators is kept by the Ministry of Justice and is available HERE.

• closely related documents should be presented jointly (e.g., a sublease agreement with a lease agreement) and be valid on the date the permit is issued.
