Legalisation of stay in Warsaw: practical information on the office, fees and timelines
Foreigners’ cases in Masovia are handled by the Masovian Voivodeship Office in Warsaw. You file a temporary-residence application online in MOS 2.0, and you only visit the office to collect the card and give fingerprints.

How we handle your case in Warsaw: step by step
- Consultation
A conversation online or by phone, without a trip to Wrocław: we determine the basis, the type of contract and the end date of your current stay.
- Document audit
We draw up a list for the Masovian office and cross-check company, contract and personal data.
- Application in MOS 2.0
We file through MOS 2.0 and check that all documents are uploaded so the office does not ask for supplements.

We answer the Warsaw office’s requests and tell you the reply deadlines.
- Decision and card
After the decision we explain how to collect the card at the department at ul. Marszałkowska 3/5.
Timelines and official fees in Warsaw
The timeline at the Masovian office depends on the basis, the completeness of documents and the department’s workload. The status is visible in MOS 2.0; the information point does not give statuses, and if the deadline passes we prepare a reminder about the deadline (ponaglenie).

Mistakes that most often delay a case in Warsaw
- filing under the wrong basis: an employment contract and B2B need different evidence;
- company data in KRS, CEIDG and the contract that do not match;
- missing documents in MOS 2.0 and a late reply to the office’s request;
- expecting a case status from the information point, which does not give statuses;
- family and tax documents translated incorrectly;
- filing too late before the legal stay expires.
Frequently asked questions about legalising your stay in Warsaw
Where in Warsaw are foreigners’ cases handled?
The Department for Foreigners of the Masovian Voivodeship Office is at ul. Marszałkowska 3/5. You file a temporary-residence application online in MOS 2.0. The general address of the office is pl. Bankowy 3/5, 00-950 Warszawa.
Will the information point tell me my case status?
No. The information point (tel. 22 695 69 95) does not give statuses of cases handled by individual departments. You check the status in MOS 2.0, and if something is unclear we help you read it and plan the next step.
Is a B2B contract enough as a basis of stay?
It can be, but the office judges it by income, taxes and the stability of orders. That is why we first check your documents and only then file. We will tell you plainly which evidence is missing and whether another basis of stay would be better.
How much does a residence card cost in Warsaw?
Official fees are the same across Poland, so in Warsaw you pay exactly what you would pay anywhere else. The office charges PLN 340 or 440 for a temporary-residence application (depending on the basis of stay), PLN 640 for permanent residence and PLN 100 for the card itself. On top of that come the ONE PLUS fees: from PLN 700 to 2,700, depending on the package (ONE, PLUS, PRO) and the basis of stay. We will give you the exact amount 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 Warsaw?
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 Warsaw 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 Masovia. 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.

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. The documents were submitted in July 2021, and we updated the application in January because I had already submitted the documents. I received the decision at the end of May, and the card itself was ready at the beginning of September 2022.
2022
I had a very positive experience with this office. They helped me get a positive decision on my residence card, and throughout the whole process they were very helpful, professional and polite.
March 2026
I would like to thank the agency's staff for their professional advice, which helped my daughter persuade the inspector to submit the residence permit application. Thanks to them the case got off the ground. Thank you once again.
2023
Thank you to the ONE PLUS team for helping me get a residence permit! Very professional service, efficient and competent service. In my case, all communication with the caseworker took place remotely (the permit was done in Łódź), without any inconvenience or problems, from preparing the document package to collecting the decision.
2024
Thank you OnePlus for the fast and professional service, now our family is legal. Especially huge thanks to Anastazja. We received the decision for our daughter three weeks after submitting the application.
2023
The best in their field! They helped me quickly gather all the necessary documents and submit the card application. They were in constant contact throughout the whole process, offering advice and helping me solve any problems! I highly recommend them ♥️

2024
I asked for help preparing a residence card. The specialists explained everything in detail and suggested the next steps.
Good morning. I hesitated for a long time about whether to submit an application, but in the end I did. I would like to thank you very much for your work. I submitted the application through the agency in September and finally received the decision, and I received the card two months later (in November). I would like to thank you and recommend to everyone that they submit applications through this agency. They have a very good approach, they are always in contact, and the agency values people and makes sure everything goes the way they want. Thank you once again. I will definitely use their services again and many times!
2023
I am grateful to the ONE PLUS company for helping me get my permit. I recommend them to anyone who doesn't have time to deal with the formalities related to the card application. They will take care of everything for you.

I would like to sincerely thank the ONE PLUS company for their professional help in obtaining a residence permit. The team works clearly, quickly and with care for the client. Special thanks go to Ms Tatyana, the owner of the company.
2025
I contacted this company to get help with obtaining a residence card. The lawyer Tatiana accompanied me from the first to the last step; she was very professional and always polite. The result exceeded my expectations; I received approval for a residence card in less than eight months! I am very grateful! It is a great place to get in touch with. ☺️☺️☺️
2025
Thank you very much! Everything was quick and efficient, and most importantly, professional. I received my residence permit within a few months. I highly recommend!
July 2026
Excellent service. The helpful staff are always ready to explain any complicated issues. I would especially like to highlight Tatyana, she helped and advised me right up until I received my plastic card.
2025
I strongly recommend using One Plus services to anyone planning to live and work in Poland. Regardless of what information you find on the internet, it will not replace professional help; believe me, this is my personal experience. For someone travelling for the first time, it is hard to figure out where to start when it comes to formalities and other documents. In the end I managed to get the card in the shortest possible time, with minimal time and cost.
2024
My whole family, me, my wife and daughter, applied for a temporary residence permit at One Plus. My wife and child applied in the last days of our child's stay.
March 2026
I highly recommend! I urgently needed to submit a residence permit application in Ukraine without having to leave the country, and in the current pandemic I didn't know what to start with and where to start. But thanks to One Plus's help I managed to successfully…
2021
Huge thanks to the professionals at One Plus! Thanks to them I received a residence permit, even though I thought it would be quite difficult in my situation. But thanks to their professionalism and support the whole process went smoothly and without any complications. I am very grateful for their help and the excellent result!
September 2026
Great company. Thank you, I got cards for the whole family with them. I liked that you can always call them and ask questions...
2021
Good morning! I would like to thank your company for the help in obtaining a residence permit. You are great! At first I was very worried, but Tatiana was in touch the whole time and now, 10 months have passed and I received a positive decision! Hooray, hooray! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I recommend this company to everyone! Especially Tatiana, a true professional.

Legal Precedents for Karta Pobytu
We know how to speed up the Karta Pobytu process legally and secure compensation for delays.
Financial compensation of 2,100 PLN for Karta Pobytu cases pending since 2019.
Financial compensation of 1,600 PLN for Karta Pobytu cases pending since 2019.
Financial compensation of 2,600 PLN for Karta Pobytu cases pending since 2019.
Financial compensation of 4,300 PLN for Karta Pobytu cases pending since 2017.
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. Learn more here: how to speed up your TRC decision.
