Under Polish law, a foreign national appointed as a Management Board Member (CEO) of a Polish company is generally required to obtain a work permit if they perform this function in Poland for more than 6 months within any consecutive 12-month period.

This permit is typically needed by foreign nationals who are appointed to executive or management board positions in Polish companies and who carry out their duties on the territory of Poland for the period specified by law. It is also relevant for foreign shareholders, investors, and entrepreneurs who actively manage a Polish business from within Poland.

Obtaining a CEO work permit requires careful preparation of the application and supporting documentation demonstrating that all statutory requirements have been fulfilled. Errors or incomplete documentation may significantly delay the proceedings or result in a refusal.

We analyze your individual circumstances, verify whether a work permit is required in your case, prepare the complete application package, represent your interests before the competent authorities, and manage the proceedings until a final decision is issued.
