• The issue of the Polish travel document for a foreigner does not release you from the obligation to take up measures to obtain a travel document of the country of origin.
• The Polish foreigner's identity document confirms only the foreigner's identity; it does not confirm the foreigner's citizenship and does not entitle her/him to cross the border and does not release the foreigner from the obligation to legalise her/his stay on the territory of our country.
• The temporary Polish travel document for a foreigner entitles the foreigner solely and exclusively to leave the territory of Poland. If you have to return, you should apply for a travel document of the country of origin or a temporary Polish travel document for a foreigner with a consul of the Republic of Poland at the place of residence.
