The duration of the processing of a residence permit application depends on several factors, so the processing time may vary from case to case. The duration of the process may be influenced by, among others:

• the type of residence permit chosen;
•  the completeness and adequacy of the documents submitted;
• whether further official controls are necessary;
•  the current workload of the immigration authority;
•  the unique circumstances of the case.

If additional information or documents are required during the procedure, the authority may ask the applicant to fill in the gaps or submit an additional statement. In order to ensure faster and smoother administration, it is recommended to start the process on time and to properly prepare the necessary documents in advance with the help of an expert.
