How to issue a work permit in Poland after the end of the temporary protection status?
The importance of the topic and practical examples
Given the current situation, many Ukrainians who received temporary protection in Poland are faced with the need to legalize their stay and employment after the end of this status. "Legal Marketplace Consultant" LLC provides comprehensive support in such cases. We will give examples of how our lawyers and advocates helped clients solve these issues.
Maria, a 28-year-old citizen of Ukraine, arrived in Poland in March 2022, fleeing the war. She received temporary protection status, which allowed her to legally live and work in the country. During this time, Maria learned the Polish language, found a job in an IT company and integrated into the local community.
However, as the temporary protection status expired, Maria faced an important question: how to legally continue her stay and work in Poland? She values her position and wants to stay in the country that has become her second home.
Step 1: Determining the type of work permit
For Maria, who works in an IT company, the most suitable work permit would be type A. This type of permit is issued to foreigners who work in Poland on the basis of a contract with an employer registered in Poland.
Step 2: Preparation of the necessary documents
Maria needs to prepare the following documents:
1. Completed application for obtaining a work permit
2. Copy of passport
3. Color photo
4. A document confirming legal stay in Poland (in the case of Maria - a document on the status of temporary protection)
5. Confirmation of payment of the administrative fee
6. Documents from the employer:
- A copy of the entry in the register of entrepreneurs (KRS) or a certificate of entry into the register of economic activity (CEIDG)
- Financial statement of the company for the last tax year
- A document confirming the lack of an opportunity to meet staffing needs in the local labor market
Step 3: Submission of documents
Maria must submit all the necessary documents to the voivodeship office at the place of registration of her employer. This can be done in person or through an authorized person (for example, an employer's representative).
Step 4: Waiting for a decision
The application review process can take up to 30 days. During this period, Maria can legally continue to work if she submitted the documents before the expiration of the temporary protection status.
Step 5: Obtaining a work permit
After a positive decision, Maria will receive a work permit, which is usually issued for a period of up to 3 years.
Step 6: Issuing a residence permit
With her work permit, Maria must apply for a temporary residence and work permit. This is the only document that will allow her to legally live and work in Poland.
Important points:
- Maria should start the registration process 3-4 months before the end of the temporary protection status.
- The cost of issuing a work permit is PLN 100 for type A.
- Knowledge of the Polish language increases the chances of obtaining a permit.
- While waiting for the decision, Maria should not leave Poland.
By following these steps, Maria will be able to successfully apply for a work permit and continue her legal stay in Poland after her temporary protection status expires.
