Poland Work Visa - Talent for Globe

Poland & Poland Work Visa

Since Poland is a member of the European Union (EU), citizens of other EU countries do not need a permit to work in Poland. It is just a matter of visiting Poland and obtaining a job. If you find a job, you just start your job as a native polish citizen but most other individuals who come from Asia and the rest of the world will need a visa to stay in the country as well as a work permit to work.

Do not worry, our team would be able to help you to obtain all types of visas from Poland.

If you are looking forward to work in Poland, you need to find a job and a work permit from the government of Poland in order to process your visa.

It seems complicated, but with our experienced, team and our connections, would be able to find the right job as we directly work with several Polish clients who can issue Work Permits for our clients.

Let’s look at the type of visas that the government of Poland issues for other nationalities.

There are several types of visas available for non-EU citizens seeking entry into Poland for employment purposes, including:

Type of Visa

C-Type Schengen Visa

If you want to visit Poland for a short period of time (maximum up to 90 days in half a year) and you are from a country whose nationals are obliged to have a visa – the Schengen visa is for you. Type C allows you not only to enter Poland, but also other countries that are part of the Schengen Area. Please remember that the 90-days-long period starts with the day you cross the Polish border. You can split this time into multiple visits, but the visa expires after 180 days.

D-Type national visa

If your stay is going to last 91 days or more (in one visit or more during the 180-day-long period), you should apply for a national visa. Apart from entering Poland, it allows you to visit other Schengen countries, but similarly to the type C visa – up to 90 days in half a year. It is valid for the period stated in the document, but as a rule, it is not longer than one year. After this time, you can apply for the prolongation of your visa.

A-Type Airport transit visa

This type of visa allows you to travel through Poland (without staying anywhere outside the transit area of the airport) to another Schengen zone country. It is not very common, since it is mandatory only for the nationals of the following countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan and Sri Lanka.

Business or pleasure?

In the case of visa types C and D, the authorities will ask you to provide information about the purpose of your visit. You can choose from the list of reasons for staying in Poland. You will be provided with all the possible answers, some of them including: tourism, family or friends visits, sports events participation, setting up your own business, conference participation and so on. When it comes to the national visa, the purpose of your stay will determine its duration.

Each type of work permit has its own requirements. Remember that employees will need both a valid visa or residence permit and a work permit.
