Temporary residence permit for the purpose of performing work by a foreigner delegated by a foreign employer to the territory of the Republic of Poland

Documents

a. Documents required at the application stage

A foreigner applying for a temporary residence permit to perform work by a foreigner delegated by a foreign worker on the territory of the Republic of Poland submits to the voivode competent for the place of their stay:

• completed, in accordance with the instruction, application form for a temporary residence permit - under pain of leaving the application unprocessed. Rules for completing the application are presented in the following stage: “Completing the application”.

• 4 up-to-date photographs that clearly show the foreigner's face, without a hat and obscuring lenses, meeting the detailed criteria defined by law - under pain of not processing the application.

• a photocopy of a valid travel document (at the same time presents the person accepting the application with its original for inspection - under pain of leaving the application unprocessed);

  In a particularly justified case, if a foreigner does not have a valid travel document and they are not possible to obtain it, they may present another document confirming their identity in a way that does not raise any doubts. At the same time, they should document the objective inability to obtain a travel document and the efforts made to obtain it.

• Proof of payment of stamp duty. Go to the "Stamp duty” step for more information.

b. Other documents

At the stage of submitting the application, it is also desirable to present the documents necessary to confirm the data contained in the application and the circumstances justifying the application for a temporary residence permit. The date of settling the matter depends on the date of its submission. If the required documents are not attached to the application, the voivode calls for them to be sent within a period of not less than 14 days.

Such evidence is not subject to the consequence of leaving the application unprocessed and may be supplemented in the course of the proceedings. However, it should be remembered that attaching full documentation already at the stage of submitting the application is in accordance with the interest of the party. It organizes and simplifies the procedure, because already at the initial stage, the authority can make correct determinations with regard to the foreigner's situation, which undoubtedly speeds up the process of processing the application and reduces the risks associated with the need for supplementing documentation by a foreigner in the further course of the procedure for granting a temporary residence permit.

The evidence to be presented in the proceedings includes:

• a type C, D or E work permit or a written statement of the employer on the intention to entrust work, if a work permit is not required from a foreigner;
