Page 1 of 5 In general, foreigners coming to Poland in order to perform research work in Polish research institutions may do it without a work permit, regardless of their nationality.
However, if you are not a citizen of one of the EU Member States, you should remember that even being exempt from the work permit requirement you still need to possess a visa for employment purposes in order to legally enter and work in Poland legally.
If you are a researcher to whom the above mentioned regulations are not applicable, your future employer is obligated to apply for your work permit. The following procedure has to be procured:
- The employer submits an application with a set of required documents to the relevant voivodeship office (according to the employer headquarters) asking for an employment promise (przyrzeczenie na zatrudnienie) which has to be sent directly to you later on.
- You need to present this promise in the Polish consulate or other diplomatic post in your country of residence in order to obtain a visa with permission for work performance on the territory of Poland.
- Once you arrive in Poland, your employer needs to go to the voivodeship office again, in order to receive the work permit for you.
