If you are in Poland, but performing job for the companies out of Poland, you may be in little trap, because there is no option to get residence card based on freelance job in Poland. Only in case you established Sole Proprietorship entity - you can perform the business and apply for temporary residence permit based on it. If you perform the job in Poland that should be performed for Polish entity only.
IT Specialists.
If you found a job as IT professional in Poland you can be recruited in 3 ways: contract of employment, B2B contract (Sole Proprietorship or LLC) or B2B on behalf of startup accelerator. All 3 options give you a possibility to get residence permit in Poland, but you have to chose from the prospective of taxation. Last option related with startup helps you with accountancy, taxes, running of declarations and gives you bank sub-account to use for transactions. Your final employer will have to sign the contract with startup company in order to receive salary and run the accountancy.
