We would like to inform you that the MOS system (Moduł Obsługi Spraw), which enables the electronic submission of applications referred to in Art. 225a sec. 1 of the Act on Foreigners-namely applications for temporary residence, permanent residence, and long-term EU resident status-was launched on April 27, 2026.

MOS

From now on, applications for temporary residence, permanent residence, and long-term EU resident permits can be submitted exclusively electronically via the MOS portal, available at: https://mos.cudzoziemcy.gov.pl/.

Applications for temporary residence, permanent residence, and long-term EU resident permits in paper form that were sent but not received by provincial offices before April 27, 2026, will not be processed (the applications will be left without consideration) – the date of postage will not be taken into account.

Applications for a temporary residence permit for the purpose of:

  • Intra-corporate transfer (ICT);
  • Long-term mobility of a manager, specialist, or trainee employee within an intra-corporate transfer;
  • Family reunification – in cases where the foreigner concerned is outside of Poland;
  • Family members of a Polish citizen, an EU member state citizen, or a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as referred to in Art. 10 sec. 1 letters b and d of the Withdrawal Agreement – in cases where the foreigner concerned is outside of Poland;
  • Foreigners leading a family life (within the meaning of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) with a Polish citizen, an EU member state citizen, or a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as referred to in Art. 10 sec. 1 letters b and d of the Withdrawal Agreement – in cases where the foreigner concerned is outside of Poland,

must still be submitted in paper form according to current rules.
