The voivode stopped putting the red &lt;em&gt;odcisk stempla&lt;/em&gt; into travel documents on that date. What
you have instead — or what you are waiting for — is a &lt;strong&gt;zaświadczenie o złożeniu wniosku&lt;/strong&gt;, a
certificate confirming the application was filed, which you download yourself from your MOS
account.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Warsaw karta pobytu wait: 60 days on paper, 9–14 months at Mazowieckie</title><link>https://warsawtop.com/posts/karta-pobytu-wait-mazowieckie/</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://warsawtop.com/posts/karta-pobytu-wait-mazowieckie/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Both numbers matter, and almost everything you will read gives you only one. The statute says
the &lt;em&gt;wojewoda&lt;/em&gt; — the voivode, the regional government office that decides your case — has
&lt;strong&gt;60 days&lt;/strong&gt;. The Mazowiecki office in Warsaw was reported in mid-2026 to be taking &lt;strong&gt;nine to
fourteen months&lt;/strong&gt;. The gap is not a rumour and it is not incompetence you can appeal against.
Since April 2022 a separate act has suspended the running of that 60-day term outright, which
means that for most of the wait you are not &amp;ldquo;past the deadline&amp;rdquo; in any sense the law
recognises.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
