MY EMPLOYMENT ENDED
Do I need to notify the voivode when my job ends?
If you hold a temporary residence-and-work permit and the employer named in it is no longer your employer, Polish law sets a written-notification deadline. Enter your details below to see it calculated for your dates.

Written notification of loss of employment, or an amendment application filed within the same window
Art. 121 requires the foreigner to notify the voivode in writing within 15 working days of losing employment with an entity named in the permit. Filing an amendment application within the same window satisfies this duty instead of a plain notification.
