In an article published in Gazeta Prawna, Partner Karolina Schiffter comments on Poland’s decision to shut down online appointment systems used by foreigners applying for residence permits. Several voivodeship (province) offices, including Warsaw, have taken their booking calendars offline after growing concerns about bots and unlawful queue trading.
Karolina explains that bots often secured appointments before they officially appeared, which prevented legitimate representatives from accessing the system as intended. The article notes that offices have now returned to paper-based submissions while Poland prepares to introduce a new nationwide digital platform designed to improve fairness and access for applicants.

W artykule opublikowanym w Gazeta Prawna Partner Karolina Schiffter komentuje decyzje urzędów o zamknięciu internetowych systemów umawiania wizyt, z których korzystają cudzoziemcy ubiegający się o zezwolenie na pobyt. Kilka urzędów wojewódzkich, w tym w Warszawie, wyłączyło swoje kalendarze rezerwacji w związku z rosnącymi obawami dotyczącymi botów i nielegalnego handlu kolejkami.
Karolina wyjaśnia, że boty często umawiały wizyty przed ich oficjalnym pojawieniem się, co uniemożliwiało pełnomocnikom dostęp do systemu zgodnie z przeznaczeniem. W artykule zauważono, że urzędy powróciły do składania wniosków w formie papierowej, podczas gdy Polska przygotowuje się do wprowadzenia nowej, ogólnopolskiej platformy cyfrowej, mającej na celu poprawę sprawiedliwości i dostępu dla wnioskodawców.
