Performance of work according with the law is very important, both from the point of view of the foreigner and the entity delegating work performance to them. A foreigner performing work not in line with the legal provisions is exposed to a pecuniary penalty in the amount not lower than PLN 1000 and issuing a decision obliging them to return. The entity delegating illegal work to a foreigner may be held responsible for an offence or crime.
A foreigner coming to Poland in order to perform work should ensure their stay is legal. On the other hand, the employer of a foreigner shall obtain documents entitling the foreigner to perform work in Poland and conditioning issuing a visa to them or a temporary residence permit for that purpose. The employer also has the obligation to store copies of documents confirming legal stay of the foreigner in Poland.
If you want to work in a new country, but you afraid whether you want to work and moved to this country permanently – a good solution is to apply for a six-month work permit. This is a short period that will allow you to check how you live in a different country than your native country, will allow you to gain additional professional experience and above all – will allow you to see a little world from the side of life on a daily basis and create new friendships that you can hide in the future.
Why is it worth considering a six-month work permit? This gives us a sample of what work in another country looks like and allows us to decide if we want to stay for longer. It is also easier to get a permit for a legal stay for such a short period of time than for a long-term trip. Taking care of documents for a short period, with booking a job still in your home country, is a good situation, if you want to make changes in your professional life. This is also a good situation if you want to go to a country where you have better wages, without leaving your home country for a long time.
Now a lot of paperwork can be done over the internet. I encourage you to find all the detailed information needed for about short-term stays.
You should arrange everything as soon as possible – so do not waste time and take your chance to change your life.
