Running a business in Poland can be a challenge, even for someone raised in Poland. In addition to the numerous difficulties inherent to running a business, there's also a change in residence status – a special residence permit is required, which requires complex documentation. The process of obtaining such a permit is particularly demanding, so we'll handle it as a team, as the steps involved require exceptional precision. Each process is highly individualized, so we place great emphasis on developing an action plan and anticipating potential challenges.
It should be pointed out that:
1. A temporary residence permit for the purpose of conducting business activity shall be granted to a foreigner if the purpose of his/her stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland is to conduct business activity pursuant to the regulations in force in this respect in this territory and the following conditions are met:
1) the foreigner has:
a) health insurance within the meaning of the Act of 27 August 2004 on health care services financed from public funds or confirmation of coverage by the insurer of the costs of treatment in the territory of the Republic of Poland,
b) a source of stable and regular income sufficient to cover the costs of living for himself and his dependent family members,
c) consent of the competent authority to occupy a specific position or pursue a profession, when the obligation to obtain it results from separate provisions;
2) the foreigner has a guaranteed place of residence in the territory of the Republic of Poland;
3) an entity that conducts business activity:
a) in the tax year preceding the submission of the application for a temporary residence permit for the foreigner for the purpose of conducting business activity, the foreigner achieved an income of no less than 12 times the average monthly gross salary in the national economy in the voivodeship in which the entity has its registered office or place of residence, in the year preceding the submission of the application, as announced by the President of the Central Statistical Office, or employs for an indefinite period and on a full-time basis for at least 1 year preceding the submission of the application at least 2 employees who are Polish citizens or foreigners with an established right of residence,
b) demonstrates that it has the resources to meet the annual income requirement of 12 times the average salary in the future, or is taking steps to meet these requirements in the future, in particular by contributing to increased investment, technology transfer, the introduction of beneficial innovations or job creation.
2. The rules regarding the Company's income or income prospects also apply to a limited partnership, limited joint-stock partnership, limited liability company or joint-stock company established by a foreigner, or to a company which the foreigner has joined or whose shares he has acquired or acquired.
3. A temporary residence permit for the purpose of conducting business activity is granted to a foreigner whose purpose of stay is to perform work by serving on the management board of a limited liability company or a joint-stock company that he or she has established or whose shares or stocks he or she has acquired or acquired, or to manage the affairs of a limited partnership or a limited joint-stock partnership by a general partner, or to act as a proxy, provided that the foreigner meets the personal conditions and the company meets the income or employment conditions.
