Poland: karta pobytu and legalisation

Follows the karta pobytu process in Poland, from filing the wniosek to getting a decision from the urząd. Pays closest attention to the procedural details that most often stall a case: how to enter periods of stay correctly, which Załącznik nr 1 is required, and where exactly to send documents so the queue isn't lost. Instead of restating the law in general terms, it checks the actual sequence of steps and filing deadlines. Covers how to send additional documents to the urząd through MOS, when e-Doręczenia is needed, and which cases call for a paper versus electronic attachment. It also looks at what to do when a karta pobytu has already expired and a bank demands proof of status to keep an account open. Asylum and family reunification are deliberately outside its scope.
