Can I change employer while I hold an EU Blue Card in Poland?

The Blue Card is tied to highly qualified employment, so changing jobs is regulated. In the early period of the permit you are expected to inform the competent voivodeship office before changing employer or moving to a substantially different position, and approval conditions may apply.

After you have held the Blue Card and worked for a sustained period, the conditions for changing employer or position ease, giving you more freedom in the labour market. Because the exact notification rules and timelines matter, confirm your obligations with the voivodeship office before accepting a new role so you do not unintentionally breach the conditions of your permit.
