Work in Poland

Work is one of the most common grounds for legalization in Poland. Employment documents must be consistent and should match the actual situation.

What matters for work-based stay

Type of contract and employer details.
Position, salary, working hours and workplace.
Work permit, statement or other legal basis for work when required.
Proof of income and actual employment.
Changes of employer, position or address during the case.

Common risks

Problems often appear when the application form, contract and employer documents do not match. A change of job during a pending residence-card case should be checked carefully.

Foreigners should keep copies of contracts, annexes, salary confirmations and correspondence from the office.

Residence card

Work can be a ground for a temporary residence card.

Documents

Prepare the core document package before applying.
