According to the source, from 27 April 2026 applications for temporary, permanent and EU long-term residence permits are submitted electronically through the MOS system using login.gov.pl. The source also lists application fees of PLN 340–640 and a standard residence-card fee of PLN 100.
The move to MOS changes the filing procedure: applicants need electronic access and prepared digital documents rather than relying solely on an in-person submission. In the longer term, online filing may make submission easier, while incorrect data or missing evidence can delay the process. The change primarily affects non-EU workers, students, entrepreneurs and family members applying for Polish residence permits. Anyone planning a move or renewal in Poland should treat this as a key procedural requirement.
