01How to start working legally in Poland?
First things first — your employer must obtain a work permit for you (oświadczenie o powierzeniu wykonywania pracy cudzoziemcowi for citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova, or Zezwolenie na pracę cudzoziemca na terytorium Polski for all others). Once you receive this document, you can easily start working in Poland and get your legal status sorted.
Pay attention!

Conditions for obtaining a Blue Card in Poland:

By the way, the main advantage for the family of a Blue Card holder is the possibility to obtain a Karta pobytu through family reunification with access to the labor market — we also covered these benefits in detail in this article.
