Residence permits in Szczecin, handled locally
Every residence permit application in our region is processed by the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship Office (Zachodniopomorski Urząd Wojewódzki) in Szczecin. Local procedures, appointment availability, and document expectations differ from other voivodeships — and knowing those details is what keeps an application moving instead of stalling.
Szczecin sits just 130 km from Berlin, so many of our clients are cross-border workers and entrepreneurs who need their Polish residence status sorted quickly and correctly. Our partner firms work with the Szczecin office every week and know exactly what it expects.
