SPEEDING UP THE PROCESS OF ISSUING A WORK PERMIT
A work permit (zezwolenie na prace dla cudzoziemca) is a document granting a foreigner the right to officially work in Poland
On the basis of this document he/she is granted a work visa when entering the country (Ukrainians can enter without a visa). Zezwolenie na prace dla cudzoziemca is issued by Urząd Wojewódzki and signed by the Voivode.
The initiator of the work permit is the employer, who submits all documents to the Uojąd and pays the stamp duty. After submitting the documents, the law stipulates a waiting period of one month for the issuance of the permit, but in 90% of cases this is not the case.
What should you do if your employer has submitted all the documents more than two to three to six months ago, but there is no response from the Ująd?
We, the company Global documents solution, can help you to speed up the receipt of this document.
WHY IS THE WORK PERMIT CASE DELAYED?
For yourself, it is always necessary to understand what could be the reason for the delay in issuing a permit.
- The most common reason for the long consideration of documents is overloaded uchond. The flow of documents from foreigners goes constantly and densely, so employees simply do not physically have time to consider and process the received papers within the time limits stipulated by law.
- The second reason is incorrectly filled out documents or documents containing inaccurate data. If the employer or the foreigner who is applying for a permit is not in order with the documents, the Uząd officer will be forced to contact other state authorities with requests for additional checks. Naturally, in this connection, the period of consideration of the issuance of the permit increases.
- If during the check of the documents themselves a specific problem is found out: for example, the employer has a previous conviction for non-compliance with labor law, or the employee is in the SIS database and is an undesirable person to be in Poland, then the Uząd will immediately refuse to issue you a work permit.
WAYS TO GET A WORK PERMIT IN POLAND FASTER
The process of expediting the residency permit in Poland based on a work invitation is typically discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Key points regarding acceleration of the process:
- Individual Assessment — The possibility of speeding up the application process largely depends on your specific circumstances, including the urgency of the work situation, your employer’s request, or other factors such as your current visa status.
- Employer’s Support — If your employer provides strong justification for the urgency (such as a critical project or an essential role that needs to be filled quickly), this can be submitted to the authorities as part of the expedited request.
- Personal Situation — In some cases, personal circumstances (such as health issues or family matters) may be considered as reasons to speed up the process.
- Immigration Office Discretion — The final decision lies with the local immigration office, which will review the urgency of the case and decide if and how much the process can be accelerated.
- Additional Documentation — In some situations, the authorities may request extra documents or explanations as part of the individual review process for an expedited application.
In summary, accelerating the process is not guaranteed and is evaluated on an individual basis with manager
- The first and most fundamental way is to initially submit correctly filled out paperwork containing complete and accurate information. Of course, if the documents are submitted by the employer, not much depends on you, but still. Perhaps you, having read the articles on work permits on our website, will suggest something useful to your employer and thus help to minimize the time of consideration and issuance of your permit.
- The second way is to send the inspector and his management letters ponaglenie (ponaglenie). These are letters asking to speed up the process of reviewing documents. They are written in a soft form and have the following content: there is a suspicion that the inspector is delaying the issuance of a work permit for no apparent reason. This waiting causes a lot of inconvenience and anxiety. You are very worried that your financial situation is deteriorating because you cannot start work. This situation makes you depressed and affects your well-being.
HOW TO SPEED UP THE ISSUANCE OF A WORK PERMIT IN POLAND
In most cases, we resort to acceleration methods two and three, which we discussed earlier.

Among the experienced specialists of our company Global documents solution we have a Polish lawyer who prepares all three types of letters for your case and will send them one by one to Uząd and, if necessary, to Warsaw and then to the court. This way we will be able to reach the inspector and move the case forward.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED TO EXPEDITE A WORK PERMIT?
In order to write a letter requesting to expedite the issuance of a work permit in Poland, you will need either a competent lawyer who has experience in drafting such documents or a good knowledge of the Polish language and some legal aspects of the time limits for processing work permit documents.
After all, the letter must be drafted correctly and contain all the points that the inspector is violating by delaying the issuance of your work permit.
To draft the letters you will need: Your passport details and your filing details: the date of filing, the name of the Uyonda inspector who is reviewing your documents, the dates of the letters from the inspector and the dates the employer or you delivered the documents (if any).
The letter itself should consist of these items:
- identification of you as a foreigner - your passport data;
- data on the process of reviewing your documents: what date the application was registered (application form and document package), whether the inspector has sent any letters, if yes, when and how you or the employer responded to them, in what timeframe;
- identification of the points of the law that the inspector is violating by slowing down the issuance of the permit;
- justification of the need for acceleration from a human point of view: you are morally unwell, while waiting for your work permit you are worried, anxious and your health is deteriorating.
- A polite request to speed up your case (if you are writing the first letter) or a firm demand to deal with the reasons for the inspector's inaction and ignoring your first letter (if you are writing the second letter). To the text of the second letter you should also add a few sentences about your determination to go to court if this letter is ignored.
