citizens of other states participating in Eastern Partnership program.

The statement on the European Commission website
reads:[]

“Since 1 January 2014, Armenians will have the right to work in
Poland without a work permit for six months during twelve consecutive
months on the basis of an employer’s declaration of intent to hire
a foreigner.

The amended ordinance on cases when employment of a foreigner on the
territory of the Republic of Poland is possible without the necessity
of obtaining a work permit – signed by the Minister of Labour and
Social Policy – will enter into force on that date. At present, only
citizens of five Eastern countries are entitled to this privileged
system of employment: Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, Georgians
and Moldovans.”
