A decision is an official document issued after your application has been reviewed. You will receive a positive decision if you meet the conditions for granting the residence permit. This decision will specify the conditions and the duration of your stay in Poland. You will receive a negative decision if you do not meet the conditions for granting the permit. The decision includes an explanation in cases where a positive decision was not granted. In some instances, e.g. on your request, we shall issue a decision on discontinuing the proceedings. Such a decision terminates your residence application proceeding without assessing whether the conditions for granting the permit have been met. The decision is sent to your address of residence, as stated in your application form (link) or to your appointed proxy (representative). You have the right to appeal against each decision.
