A year ago, Poland adopted amendments to the Law on Foreigners, introducing new grounds for refusing legalization to foreigners in Poland.
Public order violations, being listed among individuals whose stay is considered undesirable in Poland or any other Schengen countries, and a security service decision that a foreigner's stay may threaten national defense will lead to a refusal of your Karta pobytu.
What does this mean?
1. Public order violation
If a person has police records for public disturbances, this will inevitably surface during the Karta application process. If the local beat officer confirms that the individual disturbs public order, their Karta will be denied.
2. Outstanding debts
Also, if a person has unpaid debts and the case has been handed over to a bailiff, they simply won't be let back into Poland upon re-entry, and will be required to settle the debt first.
3. Driving under the influence
If a person was caught driving under the influence, in Poland this is a criminal offense that must be declared in the appropriate section when filling out the application form (wniosek).
Failure to do so will result in a refusal due to providing false information.
4. Purchased invitation
And if a person came to Poland on a purchased invitation, didn't find a job anywhere, and then applied for a Karta pobytu, the security service has every right to consider that this person's stay may threaten national security, especially nowadays.
