Poland Work Permit | EUROPE WORK OFFICE

Poland uses the Type A work permit for a worker contracted to a Polish company, usually preceded by a labour market test in which the employer proves no local candidate is available. We follow this stage with the employer until the permit is issued by the relevant voivodeship office.

Once the permit is issued, a Type D work visa is filed at the Polish embassy, and the residence card is completed after arrival. Wages and sectors differ noticeably between the major cities and the industrial regions, and we explain that difference before you accept any offer.

Most in-demand sectors

Construction and finishing
Warehousing and logistics
Manufacturing and production lines
Transport and truck driving

Expected timeline Roughly 3 to 6 months from opening the file to the visa, depending on the voivodeship and application volume.

Core requirements A passport valid for at least one year, documented experience certificates and a clean criminal record.
