No. Most matters run by e-mail and online meetings. A few steps must be done in person, such as giving fingerprints at the voivodeship office and collecting your residence card; we tell you exactly when.

We quote a fixed fee for the whole matter, in writing, before we start. Official fees (stamp duty and the card fee) are separate, and we give you the amounts upfront.

It depends on the voivodeship office, and is usually measured in months. We don't publish an average because no reliable one exists. What we control is filing a complete application, which avoids the most common delays.

In most cases, yes. If you file a formally complete application while your stay is still legal, your stay is treated as legal until the decision becomes final. We check whether this applies to you before you file.

The law gives you tools: a reminder to the authority (ponaglenie), and then a complaint to the administrative court about inaction. We assess whether and when they make sense in your case.

Yes, half of our practice is employers: work permits, EU Blue Cards, intra-corporate transfers, posted workers and compliance. We don't recruit; we make the employment you've arranged lawful.
