How long will I wait for my application to be processed?

A decision on a work permit is issued within a month (Article 35 § 3 of the Code of Administrative Procedure, the settlement of a case requiring an investigation should take place no later than within a month, and a particularly complicated case – no later than within 2 months from the date of initiation of the proceedings).

During the course of the proceedings, in accordance with Article 7 of the Code of Administrative Procedure, ex officio or at the request of the parties, all actions necessary to clarify the facts accurately and to settle the case, taking into account the public interest and the legitimate interest of citizens are taken. In addition, the party is summoned to supplement the documentation within the period specified in the summons.

Due to the significant increase in incoming applications, technical problems of the central application dedicated to the processing of applications for work permits for foreigners, and above all, delays of up to several days in the receipt of applications submitted via the praca.gov.pl platform, we inform you that their processing time may be extended for reasons beyond the Authority’s control. At the same time, we would like to inform you that all problems are reported to the system administrator on an ongoing basis.
