Do I need a Work Permit or Visa to work in Poland?
Whilst Agility EOR does not generally “sponsor” Work Permits (this practice is not always compatible with the EOR/PEO model), we can generally support candidates needing a work permit in Poland.
In Poland, there are several types of work permits, including:
- Type A work permit: for highly-skilled workers and executives.
- Type B work permit: for seasonal workers, cultural exchange participants, and interns.
- Type C work permit: for intra-corporate transferees.
- Type D work permit: for long-term residents.
- Type EU work permit: for citizens of EU member states.
A work permit is required for non-EU citizens who want to work in Poland. If the employee changes jobs, a new application must be made because the work permit is only valid for the position that is listed on the application. A work permit is only valid for three years.
There is a minimum wage requirement for obtaining a Poland work permit. The minimum wage is set annually by the Polish government and is currently set at 2,600 PLN (approximately 640 EUR) per month for full-time work. The employer must prove that they will be able to pay the employee at least the minimum wage in order to secure a work permit. The minimum wage requirement is designed to ensure that non-EU workers are not exploited and are paid a fair wage for their work.
