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. If you hold a temporary residence and work permit, you may work under the conditions specified in that permit. In particular cases, you have the right to apply for an amendment of the decision. If your temporary residence and work permit does not specify employment conditions or a particular employer, this means you have unrestricted access to the labour market and can take up work anywhere. Other permits that grant full, unrestricted access to the labour market include: temporary residence permit for family members, temporary residence permit due to studies, permanent residence permit, residence permit for a long-term resident of the EU.
