Type A work permit
A type A permit is issued to a foreigner working in the territory of Poland, on the basis of an agreement with an entity (employer) whose seat, place of residence or branch, plant or other form of organized activity is located in Poland.
Conditions for obtaining a type A permit
- the amount of remuneration, which will be specified in the contract with the foreigner, may not be lower than the remuneration of employees performing work of a comparable type or in a comparable position

A type A work permit is always issued for a specified period of time, not longer than 3 years. Authorizations may be renewed. The application for the permit extension is submitted by the employer no earlier than 90 and no later than 30 days before the expiry of the permit. The voivode may shorten the period for which type A work permits are issued in a given voivodeship. The length of validity of the work permit may vary depending on where it was issued.
How long does it take for an A permit to receve it

The application should be submitted to:
