Immigration procedures services

For years PricewaterhouseCoopers has been providing services connected with legalisation of employment and sojourn of foreign nationals in the territory of Poland. Polish legal regulations provide that foreign nationals coming to Poland for the purpose of gainful employment must obtain a work permit prior to the commencement of work in Poland. Currently, there exist numerous regulations exempting foreign nationals from this duty. They primarily apply to nationals of the European Union, yet every single case is subject to detailed examination. A group of experienced consultants from our visa team assists enterprises and foreign nationals in their successful passing through long and strenuous administrative procedures, ensuring that the formalities are as applicant-friendly as possible.

The range of immigration services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers covers, among other issues:
  • obtaining permit/extension of permit for taking up gainful employment.
  • obtaining permit for taking up residence for the limited period for foreign nationals and their family members,
  • obtaining permit for taking up residence in the territory of RP,
  • obtaining permit for sojourn/temporary sojourn for EU citizens,
  • obtaining permit for sojourn for long-term EC residents,
  • replacement or re-application for the above documents, in case of loss or changes in information contained in those documents,
  • official certification or acquisition of Polish citizenship,
  • placement of foreign documents in Polish offices,
  • validation of foreign diplomas and degrees,
  • obtaining certificate of clean criminal record in Poland of a foreign national,
  • immigration audit upon request by client
