What residency documents allow a foreigner to be legally employed by a Polish company?<\/p>\n\n
Where should the procedure for employing foreigners from third countries in Poland begin? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n (countries outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland).<\/p>\n\n From verifying the documentation authorizing the foreigner to work in the Republic of Poland, in the event that he is located in Poland, or<\/p>\n\n Facilitate the process of obtaining a visa for a foreigner, by obtaining a work permit or a statement of employment for a foreigner, which can then be presented to the Polish consulate in the foreigner’s country of origin.<\/p>\n\n What residence permits entitle foreigners to work in Poland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. Visas<\/p>\n\n Each visa (issued by an authorized Polish authority), whether domestic (type D) or Schengen (type C), has a specific purpose for issuance. <\/p>\n\n Among them are documents typically intended for the performance of work. Their purposes of issuance are defined as: <\/p>\n\n “05a” – to perform work on the basis of a statement on entrusting work to a foreigner, entered in the register of statements by the district labor office;<\/p>\n\n “05b” – to perform seasonal work;<\/p>\n\n “06” – for the purpose of performing work not covered by the above visas, i.e. most often on the basis of a work permit. <\/p>\n\n IMPORTANT: This does not mean that these are the only visas on which a foreigner staying in Poland can legally work! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n On the website of the State Labor Inspectorate we can find information on this subject: <\/p>\n\n “In fact, the current legislation adopts the principle that a residence document suitable for work – along with a work permit or a statement on entrusting work to a foreigner – is any visa issued by Polish authorities (type “C” – Schengen visa, short-term or type “D” – national visa, long-term), regardless of the purpose for which it was issued, and any temporary residence permit, with the exception of visas and permits indicated in the legislation as precluding work.”<\/p>\n\n Below you will find visas that preclude you from performing legal work in Poland:<\/p>\n\n “01” – tourist destination;<\/p>\n\n “20” – use of temporary protection. R\u00f3wnie\u017c wizy wydane przez inne kraje strefy Schengen uprawniaj\u0105 do pracy w Polsce. Pami\u0119taj, \u017ce pobyt cudzoziemca na takiej wizie wynosi 90 dni w ci\u0105gu 180 dni. <\/p>\n\n 2. Temporary residence permits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The same is true for temporary residence permits in Poland. <\/p>\n\n With the exception of a temporary residence permit granted under Article 181(1) of the Law on Foreigners of December 12, 2013 (a temporary residence permit due to circumstances requiring a short-term stay), each temporary residence permit entitles a foreigner to work in Poland.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n 3. Visa-free travel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Foreigners who have the right to enter Poland without a visa or other document authorizing their stay, i.e. under the visa-free travel agreement, are entitled to work in Poland. However, it is a condition for them to obtain a work permit, a statement on entrusting work to a foreigner or to submit a notification of employment to a Ukrainian citizen. An exception is made for foreigners who are exempt from the requirement for a work permit under special regulations. <\/p>\n\n 4. Other<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It is also important to note other types of residence permits that allow citizens of non-EU countries to be legally employed in Poland, and without a work permit. A detailed list of these documents can be found in Article 87, paragraph 1 of the Law on Employment Promotion and Labor Market Institutions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What residency documents allow a foreigner to be legally employed by a Polish company?
