Has your Temporary Residence Card application been stuck in the Voivodeship Office for months without any formal progress? Under Polish Administrative Law, public authorities are bound by strict statutory deadlines.
1. Statutory Deadlines (Art. 35 KPA)
Administrative cases must be resolved without unreasonable delay: standard matters within 1 month, and complex matters within 2 months.
2. Filing an Inaction Notice (Ponaglenie Art. 37 KPA)
Before appealing to the Administrative Court, you must submit a formal Ponaglenie to the Head of the Office for Foreigners through your regional Governor.
3. Administrative Court Appeal (WSA)
If the authority persists in inaction, you may file a complaint to the Voivodship Administrative Court (WSA) with a petition for judicial compensation.
