Pomeranian Voivodeship is among the regions with the longest waiting times for residence permits: foreigners here wait significantly longer for their documents than in most other regions of Poland. According to data<\/a> from MOST, obtaining a resident card takes more than two years, while a temporary residence permit takes more than one and a half.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A temporary residence permit (czasowy pobyt) here takes an average of 19.5 months. That's almost two years \u2014 only longer in Katowice (Silesian Voivodeship) and Zielona G\u00f3ra (Lubusz Voivodeship)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is slightly better with a permanent residence permit (sta\u0142y pobyt) \u2014 about 12.6 months, which is closer to the national average<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the EU resident card again places Pomerania at the top for delays \u2014 the wait is about 25.8 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And where is it faster?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The difference between regions is enormous. For example, in Krak\u00f3w (Lesser Poland Voivodeship), a temporary residence permit is issued in just 7.6 months \u2014 almost three times faster. Even in Warsaw (Masovian Voivodeship), despite the high workload, the waiting times are often shorter \u2014 around a year. Other regions are also noticeably faster: about 9\u201311 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A permanent residence permit is issued the fastest on average in Lubusz Voivodeship (145 days), while the longest wait is in Opole (680 days)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU long-term resident card is obtained in an average of 105 days in Ma\u0142opolskie Voivodeship, and in Opolskie \u2014 in 792 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pomorskie Voivodeship is one of the busiest regions, and this directly affects the speed of the offices' work<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
