Poland Work Permit

Apply for work permit in Poland

A work permit is a legal document that allows a foreign national to work in Europe.

The permit specifies the company that is responsible for the foreigner's work execution as well as the position or type of work that the foreigner will be performing. As a result, the work is only considered legitimate if the foreigner does the work specified in the permission. This means that if a foreigner wishes to change occupations (i.e., move employers, positions, or industries), he will need to get a new permission. The permit is only valid for the time period stated on it. The permit's validity period is specified on the paper.

Types of work permit

Since, Poland is a member of the European Union (EU), nationals from other EU countries are not required to obtain a work permit. Most others will require a visa to enter the country as well as a work permit.

Non-EU citizens seeking access to Poland for employment purposes can apply for a variety of visas, including:

1. Work Permit (Type A):
For foreign workers who work for a Polish company, this permit is required.
2. Work Permit (Type C or E):
This permission is accessible to employees who are transported to Poland as part of an intracompany transfer.
3. Business visa (Schengen Visa C or D)
4. Freelance/entrepreneur visa

Application process

Individuals wishing to work in Poland will require the assistance of a Polish employer in obtaining a work permit on their behalf. The application procedure is divided into various steps.

1. The Application Process

The work permit application is the responsibility of the employer. The employer must include documents confirming that the following conditions are met with the application:

1. All applicable employment regulations, including articles of the Labor Code, encourage beneficial working conditions.
2. According to the Voivodeship Office, remuneration is no more than 30% lower than the average monthly wage.
3. The above-mentioned documentation must also be included by the employer. It is the employee's responsibility to supply the relevant personal documentation, such as passport pages, to the employer.

2. Issuing of Work Permit

The local government leader of the land, the Voivode, issues work licences in Poland. Once the work permit application has been granted, three copies will be printed: one for the Voivodeship Office, one for the employer, and one for the employee. The employer is responsible for providing the employee with a work permit. After that, the employee is free to work lawfully in Poland.

Average salary per hour

The minimum salary for local hires will grow to PLN 2,800 gross per month, a 7.7% increase from the minimum wage of PLN 2,600 gross per month in 2020. The minimum pay for civil contract workers would increase to PLN 18.3 gross per hour from PLN 17 gross per hour. This represents a 7.6% increase over 2020.
