Law / Getting a job in Poland with a working visa - Need legal advice... [9]

Hi Guys,

I am seeking some legal advice here...

Any help would be appreciated ♥

I came to Poland/Waw a month ago with a working visa (D-06). Since then, I have been exploring the city, Polish culture and discovering cool places for myself. Simultaneously, I've been applying to different types of jobs (Intern/Junior positions). After going through a number of CV/Phone screenings, different tests and interviews I "almost" got 2 job offers. Unfortunately, in the last step of a recruitment process which is document verification, both companies and their HR deps declined my visa saying that I need to have a work permit "for general access to Polish work market".

After doing some research on Polish Labor Code, I found out that only an employer can get "work permit" ( zezwolenie na pracę). But, both companies say that they do not (want?) participate in this type of document process.

They sent me the following message yesterday:
"Dear [my name], HR Department says that you should be released from the obligation of having work permit and we cannot prepare a civil contract if you do not have a work permit "for general access to Polish work market".

My question:Is it possible to get a normal job with D-06 Working visa? What can I do if employers do not want to get a "work permit" for me?

I am really confused and frustrated.

P.S. I didn't like the work conditions of a company that initially invited me to Poland. Therefore, I didn't work there a single day.

Thank you for your help and time.
