- performing professional duties for a Polish employer (delegations) or accompanying a spouse or a parent in such trips, or
- a special personal situation requiring going outside the territory of Poland, if it did not last longer than 6 months, e.g. treatment, or
- taking part in internships, classes conducted during the course of studies at a Polish university,
