In 2022, amendments to the Law on Foreigners came into force. We have already covered this in detail in one of our previous videos. Today, we will talk about how to protect yourself and prevent a refusal in your case.
First of all, to be on the safe side, you need to:
Request a Certificate of Good Conduct.
The court issues you a certificate stating that you have no criminal record in Poland. You will receive a document that you can later attach to your case, thereby making the inspector's job easier.
You can obtain this certificate at the court of your place of residence by submitting a wniosek o zaświadczenie o niekaralności. As a rule, foreigners receive all information about themselves on the spot.
The second, but no less important step you need to take:
This is to submit an application for information from the register of foreigners whose stay in Poland is undesirable, or from the Schengen Information System.
You submit an application to the Head for Foreigners, through which you will find out whether you appear in any registries or not.
When filling out the application, you select the specific registry you are interested in and send your application to Warsaw, where you are checked in all databases and sent all the necessary information.
It is very important to log in to the module obsługi spraw cudzoziemców and check if any payments need to be made, as well as to clarify the mailing address.
To avoid unexpected decisions, you need to deal with this issue in advance and make sure that you do not have any open cases. If you have certain doubts, we recommend requesting all the necessary information in advance to protect yourself from unwanted refusals in the future.
When handling a case from start to finish, we always check with our clients to ensure everything is in order with their documents. If it turns out there are any doubts, we provide all necessary assistance as part of our services.
