Residence Permit (Karta Pobytu) — What You Need to Know

A residence permit (karta pobytu) is an official document issued by the voivode (regional authority) to foreigners living in Poland.

During its validity, the residence permit confirms the foreigner’s identity while staying in the Republic of Poland and, together with a travel document, grants the right to cross the border multiple times without needing a visa.

What does a residence permit with the “access to the labor market” annotation mean for a foreigner?

A residence permit may include the annotation “access to the labor market.” This is granted to individuals who have the right to work in Poland or are exempt from the requirement to obtain an additional work permit.

How to obtain a residence permit?

To receive a residence permit, you must have one of several grounds (there are many; here are the most common ones):

  • Employment in Poland
  • Family reunification in Poland
  • Running a business
  • Humanitarian reasons
  • Studying
  • Holder of the Pole’s Card (Karta Polaka)

A residence permit is one of the ways to legalize your stay in Poland.

How Our Cooperation Works

Each case of obtaining a residence permit is individual. The basis on which you apply is crucial. Sometimes there may be several grounds applicable to your situation. It’s important to understand your specific circumstances to select the most suitable and, above all, the fastest way to submit your application.

Hiring foreigners to work in a Polish company is a financially beneficial solution with many advantages. However, it involves additional bureaucratic work, as documents for legal stay and work in the country must be obtained.

Legalizing an employee is the employer’s duty and responsibility. We offer to handle all bureaucratic matters for your company.
