Exceptional circumstances requiring a short-term stay (e.g., appearance in court, hospitalisation, etc.)

Decision

After reviewing the evidence and its possible supplementation, the voivode decides by means of an administrative decision on granting the permit, if they find that there are no obstacles to its granting, including assessing that the requirements for the permit have been met.

A foreigner who has obtained a permit is issued with a residence permit (more in the tab: "Residence card").

The Voivode will issue an administrative decision refusing to grant a temporary residence permit if it finds that there is a basis for refusing to grant a permit, which in relation to a foreigner may be related to:

• failure to meet the requirements for a temporary residence permit due to the declared purpose of stay, or

• entering the foreigner's data in the Schengen Information System for the purposes of refusing entry, or

• defence or security of the state or protection of security and public order or obligations resulting from the Regulations of ratified international agreements in force in force in the Republic of Poland, or

• submitting in the procedure for granting a temporary residence permit an application containing false personal data or false information or attaching to such applications documents containing such data or information or testifying untruth or concealing the truth or forging or altering a document in order to use it as authentic or using such a document as authentic.

The decision on the permit is appealed to the Head of the Office for Foreigners (more in the tab: "Appeal").
