Frequently asked questions about invitation for a foreigner
The most common questions concern the conditions for obtaining an invitation, the required documents, the legal residence of the foreigner and the procedure for entering an invitation to registration.

Can an employer legally hire a foreigner without a residence card?
Yes, in some cases a foreigner may work on the basis of a visa or work permit. However, it is important that residence and employment comply with the rules in force.
What documents are needed to legalise the employee’s stay?
The most frequently required are: foreigner’s passport, employment contract or order, attachment from employer, confirmation of insurance, documents concerning income and residence.
Can an employee change an employer during their stay?
Yes, but in many cases it is necessary to update the residence decision or submit a new application if the permit was issued to a particular employer.
How long does legalization of foreign residence and work take?
The waiting time depends on the voivodship and the type of case. The procedure may take several months until a decision is taken by the provincial office.
Can the office refuse to issue a residence card?
Yeah. The most common reasons for refusal are incomplete documents, lack of legal employment, failure to meet income requirements or problems related to the legality of foreign residence.
