How Can I Make an Appointment to the Foreigners Residence Legalization Department in Gdańsk?
Personal submission of an application to the Foreigners Residence Legalization Department in Gdańsk is possible only after prior registration of a visit via the Internet:
In order to make an appointment, you should appear at the Foreigners’ Residence Legalization
Department at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time of the appointment.
Arriving at the Office, approach the ticket machine of the queuing system located on the left-hand side from the entrance to the customer service room of the Department. On the ticket machine screen, select the language of service, then select the option: “Appointment by
phone/internet”, then enter the four-digit PIN number generated for the booking (the PIN number will be in the return message sent to the e-mail address indicated during the visit registration process). You should keep the generated ticket and await your referral to the appropriate workstation.
PLEASE, BEAR IN MIND, THAT:
- arriving after the appointed time of the meeting and not generating a ticket will
result in the automatic cancellation of the reservation. - the appointment booking time is approximate. The start of service may change
slightly, depending on the completion of service for the previous customer. - booking a visit for a group of people (family members, employee groups) requires
obtaining separate reservations for each person (including minor children).
If the deadline for booking appointments available at the Foreigners’ Residence Legalization
Department designated by the system exceeds the deadline for the foreigner’s legal stay in
Poland, the application for legalisation of stay should be submitted to the General Secretariat
of the Pomorskie Voivodeship Office in Gdansk or sent by post to ul. Okopowa 21/27, 80-
180 Gdańsk.
The submission of applications and the receipt of documents in matters relating to the registration
of invitations in the register and the residence registration of citizens of the Member States of the
European Union do not require a reservation of an appointment with the Office.
