Poland

Obtain a job offer from a Polish employer who is willing to sponsor your work permit and visa. The job offer should include details such as the position, salary, job description, and duration of employment.

Your prospective employer in Poland should initiate the process by applying for a work permit on your behalf. They will need to submit relevant documents to the appropriate regional office of the Voivodeship Office (local government authority) or to the relevant Polish consulate.

The Voivodeship Office will review the application and, if approved, issue a work permit. Work permits can be issued for a specific job, employer, and duration.

Once the work permit is approved, you can proceed to apply for a national D-type visa at the Polish consulate or embassy in your home country. Submit the required documents, including your valid passport, work permit, job offer, proof of accommodation, and proof of financial means.

Depending on the consulate’s policies, you might need to attend an interview as part of the visa application process.

Purchase health insurance that covers your medical expenses during your stay in Poland.

If your application is approved, you will receive a national visa allowing you to enter Poland.

Upon arrival, you must register your place of residence with the local authorities within a certain period (usually 90 days).

Once in Poland, if you plan to stay for a longer period, you’ll need to apply for a temporary residence permit. This permit should be applied for before your national visa expires.

Remember that immigration procedures can change and the specifics can vary based on your nationality and the type of work you’ll be doing in Poland. It’s essential to double-check the most recent requirements and guidelines on the official website of the Polish consulate or embassy in your country.
