Legalisation of stay in Wrocław: practical information on the office, fees and timelines

Foreigners’ cases in Lower Silesia are handled by the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Office (DUW) in Wrocław. You file a temporary-residence application online in MOS 2.0, and you only visit the office to collect the card and give fingerprints.

ONE PLUS handles cases for clients from Wrocław and the region: we check your legal basis of stay, prepare the documents, file the application in MOS 2.0, answer the office’s requests and keep you informed about every letter. ONE PLUS has an office in Wrocław, so you can come in person. We also handle cases remotely for clients from all over Lower Silesia.

    Come to our Wrocław office or talk to us online: we determine your basis of stay and the end date of your current status.

  2. Document audit

    We prepare a checklist for DUW’s requirements and find gaps in the contract, certificates and translations.

  3. Application in MOS 2.0

    We complete and send the application through MOS 2.0 and hand you the confirmation straight away.

  4. Proceedings at the office

    We monitor the status, answer DUW’s requests and tell you about every letter.

  5. Decision and card

    We explain how to book a visit on wizyta.duw.pl for card collection and which documents to bring.

Timelines and official fees in Wrocław

The processing time at DUW depends on the basis, the completeness of the file and the department’s workload. The status is visible in MOS 2.0; if the statutory deadline has passed, we prepare a reminder about the deadline (ponaglenie) and then a complaint to the administrative court.

Typical situations of clients from Wrocław

Employee of a Lower Silesian company

An employer from Wrocław or the region hires you under a contract. We check the contract, KRS and tax data of the company, then file in DUW through MOS 2.0.

Student at a Wrocław university

The university certificate, proof of funds and insurance are checked before filing. We align them with the end date of your current stay.

IT specialist

A developer or engineer in an IT company: we compare the EU Blue Card and a regular card by salary, position and contract type.

Family in Lower Silesia

A spouse or parent lives in the region. We collect certificates, sworn translations and proof of cohabitation for DUW.

Citizen of Ukraine (CUKR)

UKR status and life in Wrocław: we compare the CUKR card with a regular card, taking work, family and plans into account.

Business owner

Your own company in Wrocław: we prepare lease agreements, turnover and tax documents that DUW uses to assess genuine activity.

Mistakes that most often delay a case in Wrocław

  • filing under a basis that does not match the contract with a Wrocław employer;
  • different spellings of your name and address in the contract, KRS and certificates;
  • missing documents in MOS 2.0, so DUW sends a request with a short deadline to reply;
  • a DUW letter read too late and the reply deadline missed;
  • a university certificate, translation or insurance that expires before the decision;
  • going for the card to the wrong hall: since 12 October 2026 cards are handled in hall A.

Frequently asked questions about legalising your stay in Wrocław

Where in Wrocław do I file documents and collect my card?

Foreigners’ cases are handled by the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Office (DUW) at pl. Powstańców Warszawy 1. You send the application online, and you can book a visit to the office (filing documents, collecting the card) on wizyta.duw.pl. In its notice the office mentions handling residence cards both with and without a booking, but a booking helps you plan the visit.

What is the infoline number for foreigners and when does the office receive visitors?

The infoline for third-country nationals is 71 701 11 00, Monday to Friday 8:00–16:00, on Wednesdays until 18:00. Advisers do not disclose the type of decision, and one call covers one case. The office receives visitors on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 8:00–16:00 and on Wednesday 8:00–18:00.

What changed in card handling from 12 October 2026?

From 12 October 2026 until further notice residence cards are handled in hall A, because hall B is being renovated. Opening hours have not changed. Check this before your visit so you do not go to the wrong hall.

How much does it cost to legalize your stay in Wrocław?

The official fees are the same across Poland, so in Wrocław you pay what you would pay anywhere else. The stamp duty (opłata skarbowa) for a temporary-residence application is usually PLN 340, or PLN 440 for a permit for residence and work or an EU Blue Card. For permanent residence and EU long-term residence it is PLN 640 (holders of the Pole’s Card are exempt). The card itself costs PLN 100, or PLN 50 with a statutory reduction, for example for children under 16 or full-time students. ONE PLUS fees come on top: from PLN 700 to 2,700. The amount depends on your basis of stay and on whether we only check and file or handle the whole case. You get the exact figure after a short chat about your situation.

Which documents do I need to start?

Usually a passport, documents that prove your basis of stay (an employment contract, a university certificate, family or company documents), proof of where you live and insurance. This is a rough list, because the exact set depends on your situation. After the consultation you get a specific checklist, so you do not have to guess.

How long will my case take?

We do not promise exact dates, because the time depends on the basis of stay, how complete your documents are and the office’s workload. What we can do is make sure your application is complete, since missing documents are the most common cause of delays. You can always check the status in MOS 2.0, and we tell you about every letter from the office.

Do I have to be there in person in Wrocław?

In most cases, no. The application is filed online, and you usually only visit the office to collect the card and give fingerprints. We handle the rest remotely, and if you prefer to talk face to face, you can visit our office in Wrocław.

What if the office in Wrocław does not respond?

First we check whether the statutory deadline has passed and whether there is an unread letter waiting for you. If the deadline has passed, we prepare a reminder about the deadline (ponaglenie), which is a formal request to the office. If the office stays silent, you can file a complaint about its inaction with the administrative court.

Do you help clients from the whole region?

Yes, we handle cases from all over Lower Silesia. We work remotely from our Wrocław office, so where you live does not matter: a phone and an internet connection are enough.

What does the ONE PLUS CRM client panel give me?

It shows the case status, your documents and messages from your specialist in one place. We also notify you of changes by SMS or Telegram, so you do not have to keep calling or checking your email.

How do I book a free consultation?

Leave a request on the website or call us. During the conversation we check your basis of stay, your documents and realistic timelines, and then tell you what we can do and how much it will cost. The consultation does not oblige you to anything.

Voivodeship office: where to submit documents

Below are the addresses, official websites and maps of the main Urzędy Wojewódzkie handling foreign nationals’ cases in Poland.

If you are not sure which residence card to choose, it is safer to verify the legal basis, review documents and only then prepare the application. That order saves months of waiting and reduces the risk of refusal. Leave a request — we will review your Wrocław case before filing.

Real reviews from clients who applied for a residence card with ONE PLUS.

Thank you to the company ONE PLUS for the professional help in processing and managing my residence permit application. This is my first card.

I would also like to highlight their human qualities and their ability to resolve crisis situations quickly. Throughout the whole process they were in constant contact and always gave thorough answers. I recommend them to all my friends, and to you too!

Important: due to the current special rules extended until 4 March 2027, some procedural remedies remain temporarily limited. In practice, this may reduce the ability to react quickly to administrative inaction or pursue compensation through the standard route.

At the same time, clients who entrust their Karta Pobytu case to ONE PLUS receive far more than document filing. We provide ongoing procedural support, prepare the necessary legal submissions, monitor the case closely and use the available legal tools to influence its progress wherever possible.
