The General Inspectorate for Migration (GIM) informs the public that some services will be temporarily unavailable from 29 October to 12 November 2026 due to the launch of a new „Migration” Information System.
29-30 October 2026
During these two days, applications will not be accepted for:
- Residence cards for temporary and permanent stay;
- Travel documents;
- Registration or deregistration of foreign nationals at their place of residence or temporary residence.
2-12 November 2026
During this period, applications for urgent residence cards will not be accepted for the following processing times:
- On the day of application;
- Within 1 working day;
- Within 5 working days.
For European Union citizens and foreign nationals with the right to temporary residence for employment purposes, residence cards will be issued within 10 working days during this period.
These temporary changes are needed to introduce the new information system and ensure that GIM services continue to operate properly.
GIM recommends that anyone planning to apply for these services take these dates into account and submit their applications in advance.
The launch of the new „Migration” Information System is an important step towards improving GIM services and making administrative processes more efficient.
