Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
To work legally in Poland, you need:
- Right of residence: for example, a visa, residence card, or visa-free entry.
- Right to work: a work assignment declaration, work permit, or residence card with the annotation “access to the labor market”.
- A residence card confirms that your stay in Poland is legal.
- A work permit authorizes you to perform work.
In most cases, a foreigner needs both documents. The exception is when the residence card includes the annotation “access to the labor market,” in which case no additional permit is required.
It depends on several factors: primarily the provincial office, the assigned inspector, and the individual situation of the foreigner.
It is essential that the application is complete, correctly filled out, and submitted with all required documents.
If the case does not require additional clarification and has no formal deficiencies, the decision can be issued much faster.
While waiting, you can legally reside and work in Poland.
