Can you work in other EU countries with a Polish residence permit?

Can you work in other EU countries with a Polish temporary residence permit?

Having received a temporary residence card in Poland, you have the right to travel within the Schengen Area. This allows you to visit other countries for tourism or to visit relatives. However, it is important to remember that your stay in these countries cannot exceed 90 days within a six-month period. However, the Polish temporary residence card does not grant automatic work rights in other EU countries.

If you plan to work in another European country, you should contact the consulate of that country to obtain the appropriate work permit. Working without the necessary permit may lead to serious consequences such as fines or deportation. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the local legislation before starting work in another country.

Key steps for employment in other EU countries with a Polish temporary residence permit

1. Check the requirements of the host country. The first step is to familiarize yourself with the requirements of the country where you plan to work. Each EU country has its own rules regarding the employment of foreigners, so you need to know exactly whether special permits or visas are required for employment.
2. Obtain a work permit. If the country where you want to work requires a work permit, you should apply to the consulate or local authorities of that country. The process may involve submitting an application, filling out a form, providing documents, and paying fees.
3. Prepare additional documents. After obtaining a work permit, you may need other documents for legalizing your stay, such as a residence permit or insurance. It is important to know which documents will be necessary in your case.
4. Check the legal consequences. After all documents are in order, you will be able to officially work in an EU country. However, remember to regularly check for legal changes to avoid violations and fines.
