Hello everyone!

We have applied for residence permit on family reunification basis in early July, and should have received an answer by early January according to the procedure, but instead had the Orange cards monthly prolonged 3 times already.


Does anyone has same procedure now and can share their experience - how long they wait or maybe after how many months the answer was received?


Thank you in advance!

Christopher Obinna
