Who the work permit is for
People who already work in Poland or have an offer from a Polish employer. An employment contract, a mandate contract and agency work all qualify. What matters is that the contract matches Annex 1 and the pay is at least the minimum wage.
How filing through MOS works
Since 27 April 2026 applications are filed online only, through the MOS portal. Your employer completes Annex 1 and signs it electronically. You sign the application with Profil Zaufany or an electronic signature. The office then calls you in for fingerprints. We prepare all of this and check that the data in the form and the contract match.
Changing employer during the case
It happens often. Depending on the stage, you may need a change of permit (220 zł fee) or a new application. We explain what to report to the Voivode and how to keep your case.
Why work with a case manager
Cases usually stall because of requests for missing documents: errors in Annex 1, a different job title or salary, no insurance. We check everything before filing, so the office receives a complete case.
Deadlines and legal stay
If you file on or before the last day of your legal stay, without formal defects, your stay remains legal until the decision. You can work on the terms stated in the application. If the office misses its deadline, we help with a ponaglenie.
