We've recently seen new cases of individuals pretending to be employees of the Department for Foreigners at the Wielkopolska Voivodeship Office in Poznań. They're sending fake emails claiming there are issues with residence applications or offering refunds — all in an attempt to steal personal information, financial details, or money. 

These messages often come from unofficial email addresses and look like they're from our office or the Voivode of Wielkopolska.

Please be careful:

To streamline the process for submitting applications for temporary residence, permanent residence, and EU long-term resident status, new rules for scheduling appointments at the Department for Foreigners will take effect from October 1 of this year.

Starting October 1, all applications must be submitted by mail to the Department for Foreigners in Poznań or at one of our regional offices. Applications must be submitted no later than the last day of the foreigner’s legal stay in Poland.

The Governor of Wielkopolska has secured European Union funding for the project "Direction Wielkopolska: Migrants in the Spotlight". This initiative is dedicated to third-country nationals legally residing in Poland.

Our project targets four main areas: facilitating easier access to information, developing local IT tools, enhancing staff skills, and improving customer service standards.

We are pleased to announce you that starting 23 November 2023,  we launched a new e-service for booking appointments to collect fingerprint impressions through our website, which allows checking the status of your case. The implementation of new  appointment scheduling for fingerprint collection will replace the previous method of booking appointments through the Department's Helpline. The new service is easily accessible and user-friendly.
