Declaration of entrusting work to a foreigner

If you are a citizen of Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, or Ukraine and you want to be employed in Poland, one of the simplest documents legalizing your work will be the declaration of entrusting work to a foreigner. This declaration allows the employment of a citizen of one of the five countries listed above for a period of up to 24 months without the need to obtain a work permit.

NOTE! Verify whether you will be entitled to take up employment based on the declaration with the residence title you hold. If you are still planning to come to Poland, the declaration can serve as a basis for applying for a work visa with the appropriate
residence title.

Remember that only your future employer can submit the application to register the declaration in the register of declarations – you cannot obtain this document on your own. The employer submits the application to register the declaration through the IT system (on the website praca.gov.pl – there is a ready-made form that needs to be completed and signed, e.g., with ePUAP) to the district governor competent for the employer’s registered office or permanent residence. That’s it. After the declaration is entered into the register of declarations, the employer will give it to you – the so-called “foreigner aspect” is taken care of. Now you can sign the contract and start working.

REMEMBER!
Your work should comply with the registered declaration (e.g., job position, type of contract, place of employment, remuneration, etc.), and as a rule, any change in working conditions should be preceded by the registration of a new declaration. Nevertheless, registering a new declaration will not always be necessary. For example, in the case of a change of your employer’s registered office, takeover of the workplace by another entity, an increase in working hours up to full-time, or a change in the job title (without changing the scope of your duties) – this will not be required.
