Comprehensive legalisation of employment, residence and business activity for foreign nationals in Poland
Running a business in Poland as a foreign national involves numerous formalities and the need to demonstrate that the company meets the conditions set by the authorities. At Good Balance we provide comprehensive legal support at every stage — from planning the business activity to obtaining the temporary residence permit.
The temporary residence permit for the purpose of conducting business activity is intended for foreign nationals who plan to run a company in Poland, serve on the boards of companies or act as procurators. It requires submitting documents concerning the company and meeting income and employment conditions, or demonstrating the potential to meet them.
We help prepare the full documentation, file the application electronically and handle the correspondence with the authority. We represent your company in administrative proceedings and provide support in the event of inspections, requests for additional documents or refusals.
We take over the formalities, advise at the planning stage and ensure the continuity of legal residence for the foreign national running a company in Poland.
