Yes, the residence permit!
On March 28, 2022, we stood at a town hall in Piła to apply for our residence permit.
Yes, you have an EU passport, so you can live here, but without that permit (and the accompanying card) it becomes more difficult. You run into problems registering your car, at the bank they ask for that card and without it a paper mumbo jumbo is started ,and sometimes you can’t even get through it. Sigh.
Although you have an EU passport, and it is not legally a problem, you will constantly run into “stuff”. And that costs energy and time. When applying for the card, it was said: that will be arranged in 2 months, no problem.
But the truth was unfortunately different. The first request was completely messed up, and we will spare you the rest…
But all of a sudden… when we got fed up with it all, and called a lawyer to give everything to him to deal with it…. that lawyer called us back after the first call: you don’t need me because your card is ready to pick up.
What? How? We don’t know anything (no letter, no phone call), but indeed… he was really there!
One less thing to worry about, one more huge blessing extra.
