Residence Cards and extending employment

In Poland, foreigners are being employed based on work agreements (with some exceptions). This document allows one to work in Poland for a certain period. However, it does not guarantee the right to stay in the country. Your right to stay in the country is based on your visa. A work visa allows you to stay in Poland up until its expiration.

A Residence Card can be received based on an application for a temporary work and residence permit and extends the rights of people living in Poland.

Merely submitting the right application and receiving the necessary stamp will allow you to stay in Poland for longer.
