If the application for a temporary residence permit was submitted during the legal stay of the foreigner and the application did not contain formal deficiencies or formal deficiencies were completed within the deadline, the voivode places in the foreigner’s travel document a stamp imprint , which confirms the submission of the application . A foreigner’s stay is considered legal from the day of submitting the application to the day on which the decision on granting a temporary residence permit becomes final.
