Effective June 1, 2025, Poland has introduced the following restrictions regarding work permit applications:

  • Standard work permits will not be issued for applicants who will work less than 25 percent of a full-time job (which is 40 hours in Poland). Additionally, for jobs of less than 20 hours per week, work permits will only be issued for a maximum one-year validity period. This rule does not apply to foreign nationals working under different work authorization arrangements, such as work-permit-exempt foreign nationals, among others.    
  • Polish employers (including Polish entities acting as the host entity for an intra-corporate transferee) who have been in operation for less than one year will only be eligible to sponsor a work permit of maximum one-year duration. In the context of an intra-corporate transferee arrangement, the length of operation of the non-Polish sending company is not relevant.  

This alert is for informational purposes only. If you have any questions, please contact the global immigration professional with whom you work at Fragomen or send an email to [email protected].
