Work
A general rule is that a foreigner (a person who is not a polish citizen) can perform work activities only if possesses a work permit. But there are some categories of persons who are released from this obligation.
What is meant by performing work activities is:
· employment,
· performing other work being paid for,
· fulfilling functions in boards of legal persons performing economic activities on the territory of Poland.
In order to be able to work in Poland a foreigner has to be a resident (legal) and to possess a work permit (persons released from an obligation to possess a permit – see further).
