Poland's temporary residence permit processing delays up to 658 days; activists escalate to EU bodies

Processing times for temporary residence permits in Poland have stretched to 242–658 days, far exceeding the statutory 60-day norm suspended in 2023. Activists are filing complaints with Polish authorities and European institutions, highlighting systemic administrative bottlenecks. The prolonged delays affect migrants' legal status and access to rights, potentially fueling broader EU scrutiny of national asylum and migration procedures.
