A temporary residence and work permit is a document that entitles a foreigner to legally reside and work in Poland for a specified period. This permit is essential for individuals who do not have citizenship in an EU country or long-term resident status and who wish to take up employment in Poland.
A temporary residence and work permit is typically issued for a period of up to three years. However, its validity may vary depending on the nature of the employment and other circumstances.
Obtaining a temporary residence and work permit involves fulfilling certain formalities by the foreign applicant. The first step is for the foreigner to submit an application to the appropriate provincial office. The application must be accompanied by other documents, including a photocopy of the passport, photographs, and proof of payment of the administrative fee.
Once the application for a temporary residence and work permit is submitted, the office begins processing it. This process can take from a few weeks to several months. During this time, the office may request additional documents, detailed information, or clarification of certain issues.
After a positive review of the application, the foreigner receives the appropriate document. In case of refusal to issue the temporary residence and work permit, there is an option to appeal the decision and make another attempt.
Holding a temporary residence and work permit is very important for a foreigner. First, it is a document that confirms the legal stay of its holder in Poland. It provides a sense of security, stability, and the ability to engage in professional, educational, and social activities. A work permit for a foreigner ensures that they can access a wide range of services and programs available to residents of Poland. Legal employment, based on an appropriate contract, entails the employer’s obligation to observe labor rights and the employee’s possession of health insurance.
Holding a temporary residence and work permit can be the first step towards applying for more permanent forms of legal residence, such as a long-term EU resident permit or Polish citizenship.
Changing a temporary residence and work permit allows a foreigner to modify the conditions specified in the already issued permit. This may include changes such as changing the employer, job position, or employment conditions.
The basis for changing the permit is the submission of an appropriate application along with documents confirming the new circumstances – e.g., a new attachment No. 1. The rest of the process is similar to the standard procedure for issuing a temporary residence and work permit.
