Residence Card for Workers in Poland – How the Procedure Works

The temporary residence and work permit combines the right to stay with the right to work for a named employer. For the worker, this means one document instead of two separate procedures.

• The application must be filed at the latest on the last day of legal stay
• Formal gaps extend the procedure by additional weeks
• Changing employer during the procedure requires updating the documents
• The correspondence address must remain valid throughout the whole procedure
