Artykuł dotyczy ustawodawstwa regulującego ubieganie się przez cudzoziemców z państw spoza Unii Europejskiej (z państw trzecich) o zezwolenie na wykonywanie pracy w Polsce. Jego celem jest ustalenie, czy zadania, które postawił przed sobą ustawodawca, tj. ujednolicenie i uproszczenie przepisów oraz usprawnienie wydawania cudzoziemcom zezwoleń na pracę zarobkową, zostały zrealizowane. W związku z tym opisano ułatwienia, ale i administracyjno-prawne bariery, na jakie napotykają cudzoziemcy z państw trzecich, którzy chcą pracować w Polsce. Przeanalizowano m.in. procedury uzyskiwania przez cudzoziemców z państw trzecich jednolitego zezwolenia na pobyt i pracę, zezwolenia na pobyt czasowy ze względu na pracę sezonową oraz zezwolenia na pobyt czasowy w celu prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej. 

Legal Aspects of Employment of Foreign Nationals from Non-EU Countries in Poland

ABSTRACT

The article concerns legislation regulating the application by foreigners from countries outside of the European Union (third countries) for the work permit in Poland. The aim is to establish whether the objectives set by the legislator, i.e. legislative harmonisation and simplification as well making the process of issuing permits for remunerated work to foreigners, have been attained. Consequently, this study defines facilitations yet mainly administrative-legal obstacles faced by non-EU foreign nationals wishing to work in Poland. The article features an analysis of, inter alia, procedures for obtaining by non-EU foreigners a single stay and work permit, a temporary stay permit related to seasonal work as well as temporary stay permit related to economic operation.
