Extending Working Visa by a non-EU foreigner in Poland

I know that there are similar topics but I couldnt find the answer to this one.

First I want to know if its possible for foreigner (NON EU-JAPAN) to get a working permit/visa for poland for more than one year.

Also, I want to know if you want to extend the working permit/visa for poland because your work contract is extended, then where do you need to go get your visa extended?

Do I need to go back to my home country and go to Polish embassy like I did the first time, or could I just do it in Poland?

Usually no, but it's not unheard of for it to be granted for longer. However, a year in the first instance is normal.

You have to go to the Foreigners Office for the relevant Voivodeship and apply there for an extension - all quite painless, as long as you have the paperwork in order.

Is it possible to extend Business Visa of 60 days to 90 days after reaching Poland?
