Off-campus work

No work permit is required for non-EU students on full-time studies in Poland. If you have a visa, you have the right to work. The same rule applies to those who decide to stay in Poland after graduating from any Polish University.
It is important to know that only non-working students are allowed to apply for residence permit for studies. That is why you should sign a contract with your employer only after you get a residence permit for your studies.

The amount of working hours depends on the type of contract and conditions set by the employer.

There are several types of employment contracts:

  • fixed-term employment contract (na czas okreslony) - is valid for a predefined work period
  • permanent employment contract (na czas nieokreslony) - is concluded without specifying the final date of the contract.
It is important to encourage your future employer to invite you to a job interview through your CV (it can take up to several weeks before they contact you, so don't give up if you won't receive a phone call or e-mail from them right away). A job interview is usually conducted in Polish (unless your employer decides otherwise), that is why it is not always possible for non-Polish speakers to start working right after arriving to Poland.

There are several sites for those searching for work in Poland:
