Registration for the Karta Polaka in Białystok opens at 8:00 AM on November 16 and runs until 10:00 PM on November 18. Letters sent before or after this window will not receive a slot. Applications are accepted only by email.

Deadlines and How to Apply

Registration opens at 8:00 AM on November 16 and remains open until 10:00 PM on November 18. Applications are accepted exclusively by email. The letter must be sent strictly within this time window: sending it earlier or later will not result in getting a slot.

Visits scheduled for interviews will begin starting from January 2027.

What Can and Cannot Be Attached

No documents, scans, or photos should be attached to the letter. Only text with personal data is required, arranged in the order set by the voivodeship office’s requirements. If the letter contains anything beyond the required data, it will be automatically filtered out and no slot will be granted.

The subject line also matters: an incorrect subject may cause the letter to land in spam, where the inspector won’t see it. Nothing extra should be written in the subject line.

What Should Not Be Written in the Letter’s Text

Greetings, farewells, polite phrases, and questions about whether documents are suitable or how to assess one’s own situation should not be included in the letter. The four required data points must be written strictly in order.

If the application covers several people, including children, all data must be included within a single letter. Additional applications from other email addresses should not be sent.

It’s worth preparing a letter template in advance, before registration opens. At the moment the slot window opens, all that remains is to send the pre-prepared text.
