For non-EU/EEA students to be eligible to study in Poland, they must show that they have adequate money to cover the cost of living in Poland. Even, some students may wish to combine study with studies. In this situation, in general, non-EU/EEA students staying in Poland with a visa are expected to apply for a work permit, which is only issued if no EU citizen is able to fill the role. Some types of work do not require a permit (vocational training, summer student internship programs). A work permit is not necessary at all for all full-time students who have a student visa or temporary residence permit, EU/EEA citizens, and holders of the Pole Passport. Please visit the website of the International Organisation for Migration for more information.

Working and studying at the same time is not easy, but it can be done, especially if you've chosen evening or weekend courses. However, think carefully about whether this is in your best interest, as your academic performance can be affected.

After you complete your education here, it will be truly difficult to leave such a beautiful country. Don't worry if you prefer to stay in Poland and work. As a graduate of a full-time Polish institution of higher education, you do not need a permit to work here. Only make sure that your temporary permit for residency is in order.
