Foreigners applying for residence permits in Mazowieckie Voivodeship are obliged to fill in and register their applications in the inPOL system.

The system allows foreigners to fill out applications for temporary residence, permanent residence and long-term EU resident. There are also available applications for issuance or replacement of residence cards, visa extensions or granting of Polish citizenship. There are no applications in the system to register the residence of EU citizens.

Completion of the application is not tantamount to its submission. To this effect one needs take the printed application to the relevant office. The system is to ensure more efficient and faster service of foreigners during their visit in the office.

However, so far it is not possible to register an appointment in a voivodeship office using inPOL. Registration is still possible via the website kolejka-wsc.mazowieckie.pl. Such functionality is expected to be added to the system in the future.
