New rules for highly qualified foreign workers and EU mobility
The act introduces new regulations for highly qualified foreigners who want to work in Poland or transfer from another EU country. It shortens the required employment period from 12 to 6 months, recognizes professional experience as equivalent to higher education, and facilitates relocation to Poland for EU Blue Card holders and their families under mobility rules.
Key points
Shorter employment period: only 6 months of contract instead of one year required for residence permit for highly qualified workers.
Professional experience instead of diploma: 3 or 5 years of practice can replace higher education when applying for a permit.
EU mobility: new rules for EU Blue Card holders from other member states, including the possibility of counting periods of stay in other EU countries towards the period required to obtain an EU long-term resident permit in Poland.
Easier family reunification: family members of foreigners using long-term mobility of an EU Blue Card holder can obtain a residence decision faster (within 30 days).
Refusal of permit: a permit may be refused or withdrawn if the employer is in arrears with social security contributions or taxes, or has been convicted of specific crimes or penalized for offenses related to outsourcing work.
Protection from permit loss: foreigners can remain unemployed for 3 or 6 months without losing their permit, depending on length of stay.
