Combined Permit (work + residence) takes 60–90 days. We submit electronically through Cudzoziemcy.gov.pl and respond to office queries within 48 hours.
Collective dismissal procedures apply when an employer with at least 20 employees dismisses, within 30 days: 10+ employees (if total workforce 20–99), 10% (if 100–299), or 30+ (if 300+). Notification of the labour office is required 30 days before notices are served. We prepare the social plan and union consultation.

In 2026, PIP received expanded powers to issue conversion orders directly. Risk factors include: exclusive client, fixed schedule, employer's tools, no business risk for the contractor. We audit B2B portfolios before PIP inspections.
