The work permit is not irrevocable. These are the following situations in which the province governor may abrogate the already issued work permits*:
- circumstances or evidence on which the authorization was granted have changed;
- the cause, which constituted the reason why a work permit was granted, has stopped;
- the province governor has been notified that an alien did not take up work within 3 months from the beginning of the validity of a work permit, or the work was completed earlier than 3 months before the expiry of the work permit without consulting the employer;
- employer has not fulfilled the obligations incumbent on him related to applying for a work permit and alien employment;
- the lack of consent of another institution which has to certify the possibility of doing a specific job by an alien;
- the province governor was informed that a foreigner is listed in the register of aliens whose stay on the territory of Poland is undesirable.
In case of the province governor’s decision abrogating the already issued work permit (and other decisions) an employer has a right to an appeal to the Minister of Labour and Social Policy within 14 days from the date of notification of the decision.
