I HAVE A RESIDENCE CARD ( KARTA POBYTU ) CAN GET THROUGH CUSTOMS ?

HELLO,

IM IM LIVING IN POLAND ON A RESIDENCE CARD AND IM WONDERING IF I CAN TRAVEL AROUND EUROPE AND GO THROUGH CUSTOMS AT AIRPORTS BY USING THIS CARD ??

You but within Schengen zone and for 3 months on karta pobytu.

Hi , thanks for your reply. Because i was in the UK last month and i was at the EU toll gate and was told to go to the non EU gate and over there they asked me for my Passport not residence card so im confused ???

you need a passport to get into the UK. You may be a resident in a EU country, but you are not a national so why should you be able to enter another EU country without a passport? Anyway in Britain you still need to show a passport.

Hello Sapphire, i that is what happened to me when i went to the UK they werent interested in my karta they wanted my passport . But can you tell me one thing if i fly to lets say Germany will they let me in at customs just using my karta pobytu ?? or will i have problems like in the uk ?

i'm sorry I dont know about other EU country regulations.. best to check with the appropriate consulate first I guess.

Thanks, by the way i have been to some big offices and spoke to people but everywhere i get different info ... so im still lost .......

Schengen!- UK is not Schnegen

I see ok so having a kartu pobytu i can go where i like in Shengan but not UK ?

hello all,

I got a doubt : If I am a student having temporary residence permit and if I wish to work for a company then what all possibilities are there for me so that I could do a white collar job..

Thanks in advance..

Hello , well if you are on a student card then you can only work part-time hours , however if you have a residence card karta pobytu then you can work as much as u like

Thanks for the feedback..

But is there any kind of differentiation for the type of Karta pobytu like for students or for people working here.

OR is the karta pobytu considered same for every foreigner irrespective of his status..

So is it possible for me to do 30-40 hours full time white collar job ..

Thanks in advance..

WEll im sure all student cards differ. But from what i know is that all Kartu pobytu cards are the same and are only given to people that married polish people.

I didnt got u..

Well let me give you some intro about me well I am an indian and i am doing Masters course in Lodz here its been 5 months here and my student visa was for 6 months validity and now since my visa is expiring i have applied for TRP or Karta pobytu..

I am not married..
Now after getting TRP do i need to register in any polish labour court or something to work here..

OR can u recommend me any place wherein i could get information about my possibilities to work here and also any job consultancy ..

Thanks dude ..
And can you recommend

no sorry man im confused myself best if u contact the home affairs or something

Ok ..
but anywayz thanks for the suggestions..

hi... it may help. that's true, if you have residence card, you can travel around EU, but you also need to take you Passport... !! regards,

I'm not so sure. There was a case of some students from Turkey studying in Wrocław who wanted to visit some friends in Germany (and were told they could by some office in Wrocław) but they got into trouble when stopped at the German border. I don't know how it was resolved. My advice is be more cautious than you think you have to be (or should have to be) and ask for things in writing at consulates et al ahead of time.

But the UK is not part of Schengen (and wants nothing to do with it) so all EU citizens have to have a passport to get in AFAIK.

I recently went to Hungary (within Schengen) and was asked for my passport at the ticket desk (both ways) I don't know what they would have done had I offered my residence card.

And AFAIK there are two kinds of residence card. The first is temporary and you have to apply for a new one every couple of years (and they can say no). The second is permanent (something like a US green card) and you have to renew the card every ten years but it's an automatic renewel not an application.

Wrong. You can get in with Polish ID. I don't know about other members, but polish ID grants you access to all EU countries.

All that being part of the Schengen zone means is that you only have to show your passport/ID card when you enter it - there are no internal border checks within the zone (but they can do random checks). The UK is not part of the zone so you need to show your passport/ID when you fly to/from there, but the same forms of ID should be valid as for anywhere else in the EU (unless you've been banned from one of the member countries, of course).

i'm not Poles, and i have my Polish Residence, i'm travelling EU with Polish ID, but i also need my passport.. sometimes bit take time while passing boarder, but the rule is with Polish ID you can travel EU but don't forget to keep your passport with you.

but abt TURKEY nationality,i don't know...
like in DOHA, while u just landed, in the plane, kind of Police taking a white people, to check their document(in my opinion rough)..but that's how it is

pozdrawiam
