POLAND
ABOUT POLAND
Poland has a number of beautiful cities and every city has pretty squares. The capital city Warsaw is becoming a huge metropolitan city with a mixture of Polish and global culture, where you can easily spend a couple of days.
While Poland has the largest economy in central Europe, its recent growth has suffered from a slowdown and the costly welfare system hasn’t helped. However, unemployment is falling and it’s now dropped below the European Union (EU) average.
Living in Poland can be a great adventure, but it also has its challenges, for both foreigners and locals. Choosing to live in Poland, especially if you don’t have Polish roots or connections and know nothing about the country, will likely involve a steep learning curve. That said, if you are a hardened ex-pat who has worked in Asia or the Middle East, you may be surprised and gratified to find how much at home you feel in Poland.
WORK PERMIT IN POLAND
The most important thing you need to know is that you can’t yourself apply for a work permit. It needs to be requested by your future employer. Therefore there is not much you can do except make sure that your employer did everything right. The information below is just for your awareness. Work permits are issued by a local voivode and it is issued for the time of the stay required to undertake the work which is specified in the work permit of the declaration of the employer, but for no longer than a year. The work permit given for seasonal work can’t be longer than 6 months in a 12-month period of time dating from the first day of the arrival.

Employment Licenses
in Malta
Employment licenses (formerly known as work permits) are issued by the Employment and Training Corporation (ETC). These are required in order to work in Malta legally and are applied for by the employer, not the job-seeker.
Foreign workers are required to have the proper visas and work permits in Malta, as established by immigration laws. Work permits must be secured for employees and sponsored by a locally licensed and incorporated entity, which can be a problem for companies just entering the Maltese market. If you have yet to complete the incorporation process you can use an outsourced management company or GEO Employer of Record to sponsor the employee for the necessary permits.
