Residence Card in Wrocław
A work-based residence card in Wrocław is not about “just submitting a form,” but about collecting and logically linking documents so that the inspector has no questions regarding employment, income, and actual working conditions. In the practice of the Dolnośląski Urząd Wojewódzki, cases most often fail not due to rare nuances, but because of small details: different dates in attachments, mismatch between job title and duties, incorrect wording regarding salary or working hours, or incomplete information about the employer. We tailor the package to your situation: verify the legal basis, prepare applications and attachments, cross-check data from contracts and HR documents, and manage communication so the process does not turn into endless corrections.
Temporary Residence and Work Permit
A temporary residence and work permit (zezwolenie na pobyt czasowy i pracę) confirms lawful stay in Poland and grants the right to work under the conditions specified in the decision. Essentially, it is a “two-in-one” document: it resolves both residence status and employment if your purpose of stay is work and staying in the country for more than 3 months. In Wrocław, it is especially important that the source of income is transparent and that employment conditions appear realistic and are supported by documents—from the contract and attachments specifying working conditions to confirmations of payments and insurance. Depending on your stay history and type of employment, the permit may be tied to a specific employer and job parameters; if you change company, position, rate, or key conditions, a new application or amendments are often required—otherwise, there is a risk of working “outside the decision.” That is why we start not with a template, but with an analysis of your situation and then assemble a correct, office-readable package.
Documents for a Work-Based Residence Card in Wrocław
Below is an extended list of documents for applying for a work-based residence card in Wrocław (zezwolenie na pobyt czasowy i pracę). In practice, the package is tailored to the situation, but the basic set at the Dolnośląski Urząd Wojewódzki looks like this:
- Completed wniosek o udzielenie zezwolenia na pobyt czasowy (temporary residence application);
- Completed Załącznik nr 1 (employment appendix to the application), filled out and signed by the employer;
- 2 photographs (standard format for the card/case);
- Photocopy of a valid international passport (original presented for verification);
- Proof of payment (opłata skarbowa) (state/administrative fee);
- Valid employment or civil-law contract (umowa o pracę / umowa zlecenie, etc.) specifying working conditions;
- Documents confirming employment conditions, which must match the data in Załącznik nr 1 (position, rate/hourly pay, working hours, place of work);
- Package of documents from the company/employer (usually registration and identification data of the company and documents confirming lawful employment and actual working conditions);
- Proof of residence in Wrocław/Lower Silesian Voivodeship (rental agreement, registration confirmation, etc., depending on the type of accommodation).
How the Case Is Usually Reviewed in Wrocław and Why Planning Communication Matters
After registration of the application, a standard administrative procedure begins: the inspector analyzes the materials and sends requests to competent authorities. This is not a “check for the sake of checking,” but a mandatory part of the process that affects timelines and sometimes requires a response from the applicant if the office requests clarifications or additional confirmations. Such requests may concern document logic and employment details, and requirements indeed differ by voivodeship and even by specific departments.
At SKILLDOCS, we organize the process so the client has a clear roadmap: what letters may arrive, what they usually ask for, and how to respond substantively and correctly without creating new questions.
Advantages of a Residence Card
- The ability to establish a stable status in Poland for years ahead and later move toward permanent residence and citizenship, provided legal requirements are met.
- The right to legally live and work in the country based on an official decision, without constant dependence on visas and urgent status “closures.”
- Easier organization of family life: planning cohabitation, documents for close relatives, and further steps toward family reunification.
- Ability to travel within the Schengen Area under applicable rules without applying for visas for each trip and without unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Access to certain state and social instruments when requirements are met (insurance, registration matters, specific support programs).
- Clearer and often more favorable interaction with banks: easier account opening, card issuance, verification, and use of financial products without additional status confirmations.
- Saving time and money on recurring visa procedures, repeated submissions, and related costs typical of short-term grounds of stay.
Why Professional Support Truly Affects the Outcome in Wrocław
In Wrocław, when applying for a residence card, it is not only the “presence of documents” that matters, but how they read together: whether wording in the contract and attachments matches, whether employment conditions are logical, whether income is confirmed, and whether there are discrepancies in dates, position, or workplace. These details most often cause additional letters from the office and delays. When applying independently, applicants usually focus on the document list and miss internal consistency.
Support helps structure the submission for Wrocław / Dolnośląski Urząd Wojewódzki so the inspector immediately sees a clear legal basis instead of piecing together fragments. We verify employer documents in advance, the correctness of Załącznik nr 1, compliance of employment conditions with requirements and actual payments, and prepare response logic to possible requests. The goal is not just to “apply for a residence permit,” but to reduce the risk of procedural stops due to formalities and make the process manageable for the client.

Assistance with Obtaining a Work-Based Residence Card in Wrocław
We support work-based residence card applications in Wrocław at all stages: from initial assessment to receiving the decision and the plastic card. Our work is not limited to “collecting papers”—we structure the package so it is logical for the inspector of the Dolnośląski Urząd Wojewódzki and consistently confirms your grounds for stay: employment, income, working conditions, and actual work.
In Wrocław, employer documents and a correctly completed Załącznik nr 1 (the employer-prepared attachment) are crucial. We verify in advance that the data in the attachment matches the contract and real conditions: position, rate/hourly pay, schedule, place of work, dates, signatures, and authority of the company representative. This reduces the risk of additional requests and procedural delays due to formal inconsistencies.

Why Support Saves Time When Applying for a Work-Based Residence Permit in Wrocław
In the Lower Silesian office, outcomes depend not on “checkmarks” but on how clear your employment story is. The inspector views the case as a whole: who hired you, on what terms, where income comes from, what you do, and whether this is confirmed by documents. When applying independently, issues often arise at the junctions: different job titles, mismatched dates, vague descriptions of work conditions, or a formally completed employer attachment. As a result, correspondence and requests begin, prolonging the process.
Support is needed to assemble the package “as for the inspector”: build logic, eliminate contradictions, and prepare answers to typical questions before they arrive. We work separately with employers and HR because their documents—especially Załącznik nr 1—most often cause case suspension. Our goal is for the office to see a clear picture: stable employment, understandable conditions, transparent income, and correctly completed attachments.
