Decision according to the household card
A decision on a residence permit (from Polish, decyzja) is a ruling made by a Voivode in response to a foreigner’s request for a residence permit. The decision can be positive or negative and is provided for any type of card.
Remember that the entire process of obtaining a card consists of several main stages:
- Submitting an application and other documents.
- Reviewing the request by the authorities, including correcting mistakes and providing missing documents.
- Compiling the foreigner’s biometric data (usually at this stage, a stamp is placed in the passport confirming the legality of the stay at least until the decision is made).
- Obtaining the decision.
- Making and obtaining a residence permit card.
