5. How do I legalize my stay in Poland?

If you are from an EU or EFTA Member State and your stay in Poland will last longer than 90 days, you should register your stay at the Mazowieckie Voivodeship Office (within 3 months of your arrival in Poland).

If you are from outside the EU or EFTA, you should apply for a temporary residence card at the Mazowieckie Voivodeship Office before your visa expires.

6. How to submit the annual tax declaration (PIT)?

Each year between February and 30 April, all employees who have worked in Poland in the previous year, have to submit their annual Personal Income Tax declarations (PIT) to the fiscal authorities.

The most convenient way of submitting your PIT is on-line via e-Urząd Skarbowy (e-Tax Office) – the official government platform. The system is now available both in Polish and in English. You need to have a trusted profile to use it. The platform works in such a way that you don’t have to make any calculations by yourself because your tax information should already be available in your profile (based on the information provided by your employer).

You can also use the service of professional accountants.

Profil Zaufany – Trusted Profile is a tool which verifies your identity online and acts as an electronic signature. It is used by the vast majority of public institutions in Poland and allows you to handle official matters online.
