So, get ready to embark on an exciting adventure and make your dreams a reality in Poland!

Types of Work permit for foreigners in Poland:

  • Type A: the foreign employee is employed by a business entity incorporated in Poland
  • Type B: the foreigner stays in Poland for a specific amount of time to perform a function on a management board
  • Type C: the foreign employee is employed by a foreign employer and has been delegated to work at a branch or subsidiary in Poland for a period exceeding 30 days
  • Type D: the foreign employee is employed by a foreign employer that does not have a subsidiary or branch in Poland but the employee has been delegated to perform a temporary service in the country (usually export services)
  • Type E: the foreign employee is employed by a foreign employer and has been delegated to Poland for a period longer than 3 months in the next 6 months of the calendar year, to perform other tasks than those described above

 How to apply for a work permit in Poland:

The employer who wants to hire a foreign employee needs to apply for a work permit, together with the following documents:

– copies of the ID card or passport
– documents from the National Court Register
– a document proving the economic activity
– a company deed, if the employer is a limited liability company
– documents that prove that the foreigner meets the requirements for working in a specific position
– a copy of the employment contract

Work permit validity:

A work permit in Poland has a fixed validity period, usually no longer than three years. This period can be five years when the said foreign employee is a Board member for a company that has more than 25 employees when the application is made. 

The work permit validity is established by each Voivodship, and as a consequence, employees should be well informed of the certain validity period for the location in which they will work. For example, some voivodships issue work permits with a validity of only one year and they can be extended for no more than two years. 

In Poland, employers extend work permits by applying no later than 30 days before the current permit expires. The application includes documents like proof of payment, personal ID details, and a valid employment contract. Additional steps like labor market tests may be needed for employee promotion.
