Each voivodeship office decides residence permits for the people who live in its region. Waiting times differ a lot: in the official figures 11 offices sent us for 2026, the average for temporary residence runs from 250 to 539 days.
Pick your office for its address, how to apply and book, its own waiting times and the problems people run into there. Every page lists its official sources and the date we checked them.
Questions people ask
Which voivodeship office handles my residence card?
The office of the region (voivodeship) where you live. For example, Warsaw residents go to the Mazowiecki Urząd Wojewódzki and Kraków residents to the Małopolski Urząd Wojewódzki.
Where do these waiting times come from?
From the offices themselves. On 7 October 2026 EEP asked all 16 offices for their average processing times under the Polish law on access to public information; 11 have replied so far. They are averages from application to decision, not medians.
