Law / Non-EU country citizen on tourist visa - could anyone help me with Karta Pobytu? [63]

Hello!

I am having a similar issue.. and would highly appreciate your help!

Can someone confirm that a person can enter Poland with a valid decision letter and already expired karta pobytu?
Can a person stay in another Schengen country with a valid decision letter and an expired karta pobytu?

Sorry for not clarifying that.

The passport is Russian, which doesn't allow to travel anywhere in the EU without visa/residence permit.
The decision letter is Decyzja where it is stated the new resident card validity dates. The new card is not ready yet. The current one is expired.


It says the dates of the new residence card which is not ready yet.

Thanks for the answer Harry!


Too bad I have already left Poland.

The main problem at the moment that I thought that the decision letter allows to travel within Schengen. Seems like it does not. So right now I am in another Schengen country with an expired Polish karta pobytu, the valid decision letter and the fear of what can happen.

My friend just called the border guards service. They say that the decision letter is not enough to enter Poland...

I am actually on an island and pretty far away from Poland. As I know they do check visas on boats since there is illegal immigration from Africa. And there are random checks on roads and rail as well now. There is still a slight possibility it can be avoided, but might happen that I can get in worse troubles travelling around there. Do you really think that they do not check boats?


Be, but unfortunately not to enter Poland... Checked out several times.

Probably I haven't explained it properly. This quote says that a person needs to obtain visa to enter Poland, so s/he can take the card. So the decision does not allow to enter Poland, but to acquire visa in the country of permanent residence.
