User 1 | 3 8 Apr 2008 / #2Hi,I have a residence card but it is not about the marriage. So for me bureaucracy took nearly 3 months. In my opinion this kind of things work slowly...
OP secanix79 1 | 7 8 Apr 2008 / #3ok, i think with marriage is faster right?in the office they told me about 45 days, but i think less
sobieski 107 | 2,128 12 Oct 2008 / #5It depends if are EU or non-EU.If you are EU, it all should go automatically and in high-speed.If not, prepare for several "entertaining visits" here in Warsaw to Długa 5.

olito 6 | 53 27 Sep 2009 / #91. You have to register in one address in Poland as a temporary visitor (max. 3 months), your fiancee's address will do the work2. You get marry, fill up the applications, collect all necessary documents and submit your file to the imm. office. It will cost you 340zl.3. They will make a background check on you and this will take no less than 1 month4. After this check, they will call you to settle down an interview, which the date is usually 1 month in the future.5. You and your wife will attend this interview where separated you are going to be asked details about your relationship, to check if your marriage is true6. Then, you have to wait for a so called "decision", this might take 1-2 weeks after the interview.7. You get the decision (a paper) and with it, you go again to the Urzad Miasto to register again in one address but now for a longer period (usually 1 year). This takes you 1 day.8. You go back to the imm. office, give a copy of your zameldowanie, 1 picture and 50zl more to get your ID issued (karta pobytu).9. You will get this ID after 2-3 weeks, if you want to get a job afterwards, you will need to have a PESEL and a NIP which will take you a couple more of weeks to get them.So adding everything up it will take you around 3 months from the date you get married.Total of money: 340zl (application) + 50zl (id) + 20zl (photos) = 410zl* Next year, you will have to do the same until you complete 3 years of temporary residence (and fill out applications and pay again of course)... then you are eligible for permanent residence which will cost no less than 600zl (don't remember the exact amount).** Be prepared because no one will speak to you in EnglishThis was my experience in Lublin, I have heard that in Warsaw may be more painful, but also heard that now you can make appointments and avoid to make a big line outside of the imm. office everytime you need something to be done.Good luck.
