Tripaloski 3 | 8 13 Nov 2017 #1I'm visiting Poland on a tourist visa and I want to apply for temporary residence on my stay on the basis of starting a business, my question is: Can I apply for a temporary residence permit on starting a business activity basis and once I get the permit, I then start a business, or I must have a business before I apply on that basis? And Can I even apply for it on a tourist visa?Thanks for taking time and helping out :)
peterweg 37 | 2,311 13 Nov 2017 #2If you enter on a tourist visa and attempt to work eg apply to start a business, you will be arrested and deported, probably with a ban on every entering Poland/EU again.I'm not sure about Poland, but most countries have a scheme whereby you can invest assets, say 1 million euros and be give residency.Failing that, Business visa's can be sponsored by a local company.london.mfa.gov.pl/en/consular_information/visas/requirements/business_visa/

New rules determine, more precisely, all the requirements to be met by a company or a business so that the foreigner who conducts it can get a residence permit in Poland to manage his/her business.
OP Tripaloski 3 | 8 17 Nov 2017 #5@peterwegAbout the first comment, you're making dangerous claims, that a lawyer I'm contacting from Wroclaw just denied. He told me that Starting a company is not illegal, but working in that company on a tourist visa is illegal and will ban you from entering the EU for up to 3 years.Unfortunately, I don't have that much for the budgetThanks for the link!
Czekaj 21 Mar 2019 #6Merged: Aliens who opened a business in Poland - temporary residence permit for business purposesHey,I'm looking at the paperwork for obtaining a "Temporary residence permit for business purposes".As I will be opening a new business, quite a few required documents are unobtainable like CIT-8, balance sheets, etc. as per Annex 1.What evidence or documentation did you provide those sections?I'm in Wroclaw if it matters. I'm also looking for a local lawyer and accountant if anyone has a suggestion.Cheers.I'm an EU citizen.
