Navigate Poland’s work permit and residency system with confidence. From EU Blue Cards and Non-EU Work Permits to Intra-Company Transfers and Family Reunification, we manage every detail of recruitment, immigration, and relocation – so you can focus on growing your team.
Poland has become a leading gateway for international workers in Central and Eastern Europe — offering access to a fast-growing economy, low cost of living, and abundant job opportunities in sectors like logistics, manufacturing, agriculture, IT, and construction. For employers hiring non-EU talent, Poland’s immigration system offers several accessible work and residence routes — but it can be highly administrative and regionally nuanced.
To bring in a non-EU national, most employers must first obtain a work permit or declaration of intent to hire, then support the candidate in applying for a visa and, once in the country, a Temporary Residence Permit. More advanced options, like the EU Blue Card or Intra-Company Transfer Permit, are available for high-skilled or global mobility hires — each with specific rules on education, salary, and experience.
The process requires coordination with Voivodeship Offices, consulates abroad, and local authorities inside Poland. Paperwork must be accurate and complete, and delays are common without expert handling.
At Recruitroo, we guide both employers and candidates through every stage — from local work permit filing to consular scheduling and post-arrival registration. Whether you're staffing large volumes or relocating a key global hire, we make the Polish immigration process predictable, compliant, and stress-free.
Poland’s standard work permit allows employers to hire non-EU nationals across a broad range of occupations. It’s especially popular in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, agriculture, and hospitality. To proceed, the employer must first secure the appropriate work permit (Type A) before the candidate applies for a visa or residence permit.
Recruitroo manages both the employer- and employee-side processes. We coordinate with Voivodeship Offices to submit the work permit application and guide the candidate through consular visa processing and local residence card registration post-arrival.
The EU Blue Card in Poland is aimed at highly qualified professionals with a university degree and a high-paying job offer in a shortage occupation (e.g., IT, engineering, medicine). It provides long-term work and residence rights, the ability to bring family, and faster access to permanent residency.
Applicants must meet salary thresholds (typically at least 150% of the average national wage) and have a contract for at least one year. Recruitroo manages both the Blue Card application and supporting residence procedures, including qualification validation and biometric registration.
The Temporary Residence Permit is a key part of the relocation process — required after entry to Poland on a national visa. It enables non-EU nationals to reside legally in Poland for employment, study, or family purposes, typically for 1–3 years.
Recruitroo supports both the initial application and the transition from a visa to residence status. We handle appointments with the Voivodeship Office, guide candidates through documentation (accommodation, insurance, employment), and ensure compliance with all biometric and reporting requirements.
Polish immigration law allows non-EU workers with valid residence permits to bring their spouses and children to join them. The process includes proving stable income, health insurance, and appropriate accommodation in Poland.
Recruitroo handles family visa and residence permit applications end to end, including preparation of relationship documentation, housing declarations, and embassy coordination. We also support family members with arrival logistics and municipal registration.
Polish work and residence permits must be extended before expiry to maintain lawful stay. Extensions require confirmation of continued employment, updated contracts, income stability, and housing. Failure to renew can lead to permit loss and the need to restart the visa process.
Recruitroo monitors key dates, prepares documentation in line with regional office expectations, and supports both employer and employee through the full renewal cycle.
This permit allows employees of multinational companies to transfer from a non-EU branch to a Polish entity for temporary assignments. It supports roles in executive leadership, expert knowledge, and training — and applies to workers who have been with the company abroad for at least 6–12 months.
Recruitroo assists with both employer registration and ICT permit preparation. We manage group documentation (assignment letters, global contracts), coordinate local filings, and ensure compliant entry and residence for transferred employees.
