Work permit

It is the employer, not the foreign national, who applies for a work permit. We help both sides: the employee to check that their work is legal, and the employer to run the procedure without formal errors.

Who this is for

  • Employers hiring foreign nationals
  • Employees changing employer or position
  • Temporary employment agencies
  • People doing seasonal work

Documents you'll need

An indicative list — the exact documents depend on the basis of the application.

  • The employer's application together with the company's registration documents
  • The foreign national's travel document
  • Documents confirming qualifications, if required for the position
  • The starost's opinion, if required
  • Proof of fee payment

What we do

  • We work out which type of permit applies to the position
  • We check whether a labour market test is required
  • We prepare the documentation on the employer's side
  • We advise on changes to employment terms while the permit is valid
