Help! No appointment for residence card pickup before my flight
Hi everyone,
I’m in a stressful situation and I really need advice.
I received a positive decision for my residence card in February, and I also paid the fee at that time. Unfortunately, my lawyer didn’t submit the payment confirmation properly, so the office didn’t start producing the card.
I submitted the payment proof again on 19/03, so now I have to wait around 4 weeks for the card to be ready.
The problem is that I have a flight on 20/04 at night, and when I try to book an appointment to pick up the card, there are no available slots from March to May.
I also called the office, and they told me that without an appointment I cannot collect the card.
I’m planning to go early in the morning and try to get a ticket from the machine, but I’m not sure if that actually works in Częstochowa.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Is it possible to collect the card without an appointment in urgent cases?
