Visa and work permit problems. Is permit valid for the specific employer in Poland?

Dear all,

I need your urgent advice as i have a deadline to renew my work permit and resident card in 2 weeks.

I registered a private limited company in Poland and running it for 2 years now. I am currently having visa type "D" under this company. Since the business is not doing so well, i decided to work for others, and run my company in a part time basis. My questions:

1. If i am employed by other Polish company ( full time work), i will be granted work permit and resident card under this Polish company. Is that mean i can't perform any other services for my current company? As i understood the work permit is ONLY for that specific employer?This bothers me a lot because i still have some work from my own company, it gives me extra money. Maybe i can apply another work permit through my current company? So, 1 work permit from Polish employer, 1 from my own company, possible? I am not from Europe.

2. Another question is, i was told that my chance to get my work permit and resident card renewed under my own company is low because i dont employ 2 Polish workers ( with Umowa o pracy). Is that true?

Any urgent advices would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Work Permit

Hi everyone,

I have studied and graduated in poland.(bachelor degree). They gave me one year extra visa to look for job in poland but they didnt give work permit ironically....

Because of I was weekend student. But companies do not hire employee without work permit. Many companies wanted to hire me but because of that I could not get job. They prefer to hire employee with valid work permit.

So anyone know how can I get work permit? Is there someplace or someone who give work permit temporarly or some other way?

Thanks in advance,
Kaan

Employee Change During Application

Hello everybody,

I am working in Poland almost 3 years. I changed job last June and I had to apply again residence permit ( I have diploma from Polish University I can work without work permit ). Since June, I am waiting for decision unfortunately... And they said it can take 2 more months. I got new job offer and I would like to move that new company. Anybody had that situation when they have application ongoing for residence permit and they need to change job ( I assume I need to apply again but should I write some petition to combine cases or I simply cannot change job I have to wait for decision?)

Best Regards,

Good day everyone! I hope someone will answer me. I was hired by poland employer and given me a 1 year visa to work in poland but after a short period of working to the company i decided to fly in other country(still in europe). isthere any possibility that my previous employer will cancel my visa?thank you in advance!

Most likely he will as otherwise he has to pay your taxes.

he is obliged by law to notify urzad that you no longer work there, and urzad will cancel your visa

Interesting.
So, as it is suggested in the title of the thread, each work permit is connected with a specific employer? Are there also general work permits which cover all situations?

No. You completely misunderstand what a work permit is.

A foreign worker cannot apply for or receive a work permit.

It is the employer who has to apply for a work permit to hire a foreign worker.

That is why the work permit is employer specific and non-transferable, and is not worker specific.

Oh, yes, now I remember reading about it somewhere, but I forgot, as usual. :)

PS. As far as I remember, such work permits are issued before a foreign worker comes to Poland. How does he/she mostly get into contact with their future Polish employer? Directly or through embassy? Or another way? Job agencies, probably?
