## Quick Answer

Salary is only one part of a Polish job offer. Foreigners also need to verify whether they are allowed to work in Poland under their citizenship, residence status, documents and contract type.

The answer depends on your specific documents. This guide is educational and does not replace immigration, legal, tax or official advice.

## Basic Checklist

Check citizenship, document allowing stay, whether the document allows work, whether work is tied to a specific employer, whether job title, salary, working time and contract type match the permit, whether employer changes require updates and whether B2B is allowed.

For B2B, verify immigration status before registering a business or signing an invoice-based contract.

## Common Mistakes

Starting work before documents are ready.

Changing employer without checking permit conditions.

Accepting B2B without understanding immigration consequences.

Relying only on agency or employer promises.

Not keeping copies of contracts and permits.
