Poland's main work route for non-EU nationals: a single decision by the voivode (provincial governor) that combines residence and work authorisation in one document (jednolite zezwolenie na pobyt czasowy i pracę).
Third-country nationals with a job offer or employment in Poland who intend to stay longer than three months.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
Losing the job that your permit is based on can affect your permit, since it is tied to that specific employment, so you should report the change and seek advice promptly.
Not freely. The single permit is tied to the specific employer and conditions named in the decision, so a change of employer normally requires updating or replacing the permit.
Certain groups, such as graduates of Polish universities, holders of specific residence titles and family members covered by separate rules, may work without a single permit under the law.
Family members are not added to your single permit, but they may be able to come to Poland through a separate temporary residence permit for family reunification.
The single permit (jednolite zezwolenie) is Poland's main work route for non-EU nationals: one decision by the voivode that combines residence and work authorisation in a single document. You generally need a job offer and an employer declaration confirming the role and pay.
Apply for a subsequent permit before your current one expires, ideally well in advance, so your stay and work remain lawful while the new application is processed.
The single permit is a temporary residence permit, so it can be granted for the period needed for your stay, up to a maximum of three years, with the option to apply for further permits afterwards.
