In order to legalize the stay with the purpose to study in Poland a foreign student has to apply for the Residence Card in the local Immigration Office.

Please be informed that as of April 27, 2026, a new system for residency card applications has been launched in Poland: the MOS System (Case Handling Module). A guide is attached to this email.

What changes for you?

  • Student Status Confirmation: If you apply through the new MOS system, the University will confirm your student status directly within the system. Therefore, you no longer need to collect a paper certificate from us for this purpose.
  • Contact Details: When prompted for the University’s contact email in the application, please use: deans.office@umed.lodz.pl.

Important Notes:

  • Paper Applications: If you submitted your application in paper form before April 27, the old rules still apply, and you can obtain a paper student status certificate as before.
  • Access Requirements: To log in to the MOS system, you will need either a Polish e-banking app (via Trusted Profile) or a PESEL number.
