How to Book a TRC Appointment in Poland (2025 Guide)

If you’re planning to apply for a residence permit in Poland (TRC), securing a TRC appointment is the first — and often most frustrating — step. Here’s how to navigate the system in 2025.

A TRC appointment is the date and time booked at your local immigration office to submit your temporary residence permit application. Without it, you cannot start the legalization process.

During your appointment:

• You will receive a stamp in your passport, confirming your legal stay during the application process
• You will submit your complete document package
• You’ll ensure that your case is officially initiated and registered correctly
• Due to high demand, appointment slots are often fully booked for weeks or months, especially in big cities like Warsaw, Kraków, and Gdańsk.

It depends on your location. Every voivodeship (region) has its own appointment system. Some examples:

• Warsaw: via the InPol appointment system
• Wrocław: via Przybysz platform

Important: You must file your application in the city where you live or work. You can’t book in Katowice if you reside in Gdańsk.

Some users try to automate the process using a TRC appointment bot, but this is discouraged:

• Risk of IP ban or system lockout
• Unreliable results and often against portal rules
• Immigration offices may cancel bot-made bookings

Instead, we recommend manual refreshing, browser extensions, or our own professional appointment booking assistance.

In cities like Warsaw, Gdańsk, or Poznań, expect waiting times of 2–6 months depending on system load.
At Residence Angels, we help our clients secure appointments within 2–3 months — even in overloaded regions.
