A residence permit also replaces the national visa type D \u2014 after obtaining it, the foreigner does not need to apply for a new visa to reside in Poland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is an important nuance: <strong>the card does not always automatically grant the right to work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to work depends on the basis on which the residence permit was issued and the conditions specified in the voivode&#039;s decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A work residence permit may be tied to a specific employer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>changing companies may require notification to the office or a new permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A residence permit issued on the basis of family or permanent residence usually provides more freedom in the labor market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A residence permit also allows travel within the Schengen zone, but only together with a valid passport and in compliance with the rules of stay.
