Residence Permit for Conducting Business Activity

If you are running a business in Poland (as a Sole Proprietor or a Board Member of a Limited Liability Company), you can apply for a Temporary Residence Permit based on business activity. However, the requirements for this permit are among the strictest in Polish immigration law, designed to ensure that only viable businesses that contribute to the economy are approved.

Key Requirements for Approval

You must demonstrate that your business is beneficial to the Polish economy by meeting at least one of the following conditions:

• Income Generation: The entity generated a net profit of at least 12 times the average monthly salary in the voivodeship in the tax year preceding the application. This is a high threshold for new businesses.
• Employment Creation: The entity employs at least 2 Polish citizens (or foreigners exempt from work permits) full-time for at least 1 year prior to the application.
• Future Potential: If you don't meet the above conditions yet, you must prove that you have the means to meet them in the future. This requires a solid business plan, proof of investment, and evidence of activities that will lead to growth (e.g., contracts, technology transfer, innovation).
