On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7:30 and 15:30, departments of the Foreigners’ Police will process applications for granting/renewal of temporary residence, applications for granting of permanent residence, and applications for granting or extension of tolerated stay.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7:30 and 15:30 the Foreigners’ Police will process applications for residence permits by drivers of international truck or bus transport whose stay has been/is extended due to the crisis situation caused by the spread of Covid-19 and the state of war in Ukraine. They will also process applications for national visas for bus drivers, international and domestic transport drivers, highly qualified third-country nationals, and those covered by Government Regulation No. 731/2021.
The Foreigners Police departments will process applications for the registration of temporary refuge from Monday to Friday, from 7:00 until 19:00; and on Saturday and Sunday, from 7:00 until 15:00.
