FAQ – The Office for Foreginers is closed – what to do?

Office is closed – how can I send documents?

Due to suspension of direct service by Department for Foreigners at the Marszałkowska 3/5 street, you should send your documents by post. Send them as a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (additional “yellow card”) to:

Wojewoda Mazowiecki
WYDZIAŁ SPRAW CUDZOZIEMCÓW
ul. Marszałkowska 3/5
00-624 Warszawa

Current information is available here.

I can’t submit my documents – what now?

If you won’t submit your documents in the last day of your legal stay – your stay will become illegal. That is why you should send them on the last day of your stay at the latest in order to gain Residence Card toghether with application (2 copies). The date of the postmark matters. Make sure that post office nearby is open. However try not to wait till the last day. More info about obligatory documents you can find here: https://www.gov.pl/web/uw-mazowiecki/zezwolenia-na-pobyt2. Send document as a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (additional “yellow card”) to:

Wojewoda Mazowiecki
WYDZIAŁ SPRAW CUDZOZIEMCÓW
ul. Marszałkowska 3/5
00-624 Warszawa

What to do if I do not have all necessary documents?

Just send those documents that you already have. Remember about two copies of the application and make also one copy for yourself or photo of them at least. It will make easier to complete the rest of the documents when it will be possible.

Time of the appeal is getting closer, but the office is not open for customers – what to do?

Mandatory time-limit (those set by law not by the Office) are still going on, which means that tou have to make an appeal in time. Send it by post, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (additional “yellow card”) to:

SZEF DS. CUDZOZIEMCÓW
Za pośrednictwem:
Wojewody Mazowieckiego
WYDZIAŁ SPRAW CUDZOZIEMCÓW
ul. Marszałkowska 3/5
00-624 Warszawa

ATTENTION: YOU ARE SENDING THE LETTER TO MARSZAŁKOWSKA STR., THEN AN APPEAL WITH YOUR DOCUMENTS WILL BE SEND TO THE HEAD OF THE OFFICE FOR FOREIGNERS WITHOUT YOUR INTERVENTION.

I am a student and my visa is valid till September. I wanted to submit documents during Academical Saturday but is is cancelled. What are my possibilities now?

Academical Satruday is cancelled. We recommend to wait and to send documents afters direct service is open again by the Office for Foreigners. Alternatively you can send them by post by registered letter if you don’t want to wait.

How to fill the gaps?

If you are called to fill the gaps (then you will have a stamp in your passport but some documents are lacking in this case) the term to submit lacking documents will be prolonged. However if you have those documents it is better to send them by post by registered letter:

Wojewoda Mazowiecki
WYDZIAŁ SPRAW CUDZOZIEMCÓW
UL. Marszałkowska 3/5
00-624 Warszawa
