You probably want to hire a lawyer as you may or may not receive good advice in this forum.

My advice from a Polish lawyer was to not consider Polish law as set in concrete, but more like the weeds in the river- very complicated, somewhat random and subject to floating downstream without notice.


Yep. It's been a while since I've posted, so I'll just say:

You can apply for a work permit and residency while you're in Poland, but you need an employer to help you do it. If you're non-EU and you don't speak Polish, then doing this yourself is going to be, well not a very pleasant experience; (unless foreign laws and bureaucracy fascinate you). When I'm finally finished going through the entire procedure, I'll post a sticky on how it's done. (I'm getting help from my primary employer; Lingua Nova).

My personal preference is to side with misteradventure: find experts and get help. Outsource the confusion to someone who doesn't find it confusing at all. Budget for a lawyer or get your foot in the door with a school that has a track record of helping non-EUs get their papers in order.

The other route is applying at the Polish consulate in your country of origin, but I didn't do that and I'm not a lawyer so I can't really offer any helpful advice on that front.
