I am a citizen from Poland and I know that I do not need a visa to enter the UK, but is there any work restrictions?

Yes, you need to register. The Worker Registration Scheme was introduced in 2004 when new countries joined the European Union. It allows the UK to monitor where citizens of those countries (except Malta and Cyprus) are coming into the labour market, the type of work they are doing, and the impact this has on the British economy.

You will normally have to register under the Worker Registration Scheme if you wish to work for an employer in the United Kingdom for more than one month and are a citizen of:

•    Czech Republic             
•    Estonia
•    Hungary                 
•    Latvia
•    Lithuania        
•    Poland
•    Slovakia or        
•    Slovenia

You should apply to register with the Worker Registration Scheme as soon as you start a new job in the United Kingdom. You should not apply until you have started work.
If you do not apply within one month of starting a job, your employment will be unlawful after that date. It will then be unlawful until you are issued with a registration certificate and you may have to stop working. Any time you spend working here unlawfully will not count towards your 12-month qualifying period to become exempt from registration.

Once you have been working in the United Kingdom legally for 12 months without a break in employment (‘Uninterrupted work’ means you must not be out of work for more than a total of 30 days in a 12 month period. You will need your registration certificates and other evidence of employment to show 12 months’ uninterrupted employment.), you will no longer have to register on the Worker Registration Scheme. You can then obtain a residence permit confirming your right to live and work in theUnited Kingdom.
