Understand this route
Start with your situation
Use the short check on this page if you are unsure how to describe your basis of stay. Answer only the questions you know. “I don’t know” is a valid answer: it leads to a verification step, not to a forced legal conclusion.
What the result can do
The result explains the most likely current route from the answers provided, identifies what still needs checking and points to the relevant next guide. Keep your passport, visa, residence card, PESEL UKR confirmation or pending-application notice nearby if you have one; do not upload them here.
Before you act
A preliminary result is not a substitute for an authority decision. Check the official source below before filing, especially if a document is close to expiry or you have an unresolved application.
