The monthly remuneration of a foreigner who has applied for a temporary residence and work permit may not be lower than the amount of the minimum wage for work in a given year. Its amount is independent of factors such as working time or the type of legal circumstances on which the foreigner performs work. The requirement concerning the amount of monthly remuneration will be considered fulfilled when the foreigner declares that the purpose of his/her stay in Poland is to work for more than one employer, and the sum of his/her remuneration earned from employment with several entities will not be lower than the amount of the monthly minimum wage in a given year.

No. The foreigner is not required to present a confirmation of having a secured place of residence in the territory of Poland during the residence procedure.

Annex No. 1 should be completed by the employer, and more precisely by a person authorized to perform legal acts on behalf of the employer. When the employer is represented by an attorney-in-fact, a power of attorney should also be attached to the case file along with the attachment no. 1 signed by him. If the employer is a commercial company, this document should be signed by a person listed in the National Court Register, authorized to represent it.

The Voivodeship Office, when issuing a temporary residence and work permit, is most often guided by the period for which the employer wants to entrust the foreigner with the performance of work, indicated in Appendix 1. It is worth emphasising that the date indicated in this appendix in no way obliges the employer to employ an employee for this period – e.g. up to 3 years. It is only the planned period of entrusting the work. In a situation where, for some reason, the employment relationship or a civil law contract is terminated, the foreigner who has obtained a temporary residence and work permit on this basis is obliged to inform the competent Voivodeship Office within 15 working days about the loss of work from this employer (or any of the employers indicated in this permit). The Voivodeship Office may also rely on the term of the employment contract/civil law contract presented by the foreigner.
