LEGAL WORK IN THE POLISH TERRITORY
FAQ#23
Can a Work Permit Be Extended?
Yes, it is possible to extend the term of validity of a permit. For this purpose, the employer, as the entity entrusting the performance of work to a foreigner, should submit an appropriate application to the voivodeship office responsible for its seat or place of residence. However, if the specific character of the foreigner’s work does not make it possible to indicate the main place of work performance, the permit is issued by the Mazovia Voivodeship Office in Warsaw.
Importantly, the application should be submitted in writing no earlier than 90 days and no later than 30 days before the expiry of the permit.
