📌 Main types of permits in Poland:
• Oświadczenie (up to 6 months) – simplified procedure
• Zezwolenie typu A (for 1-3 years) – full permit
• Karta pobytu (residence permit) – for long-term stay

🔹 How to get a work permit?
1️⃣ Sign a contract with the employer
2️⃣ The employer submits documents to Urząd Wojewódzki
3️⃣ After approval – applying for a visa
4️⃣ Arrival and registration of PESEL, ZUS

⏳ The whole process takes from 1 to 3 months.

🚨 Avoid these problems:
1️⃣ Working on a tourist visa – fine and deportation!
2️⃣ No contract – you may not be paid!

5️⃣ Not knowing the language – a minimum level will make adaptation easier.
