Full or limited access to the labour market in Poland depends on the type of residence permit you hold. If you have a visa with the right to work, you are allowed to work based on a registered declaration of entrusting work to a foreigner or a valid work permit. The conditions of your employment must correspond with the terms specified in your permits, including the employer, job position, salary, type of contract, and working hours.

Detailed information is available on the website under the section “Long-term mobility”.
A document that your employer can obtain from the district labour office competent for the place of your work. If it is difficult to determine the main place of work, the district governor’s information is issued by the governor (Staroste) competent for the employer’s registered office or place of residence.

An official template of a document, the form of which is defined by law.
A valid template can be found on our website describing the procedure. Submitting an unsigned or incomplete form or not using a valid official template is considered a formal deficiency.
These refer to documents without which we cannot initiate proceedings, i.e., we cannot consider your application — for example, a completed and signed application form, photographs, the original passport presented for inspection, etc. You must provide these documents in order to receive a stamp on your passport. The formal assessment of the application is the initial stage of the entire procedure, during which we review the documents you have submitted.
