Work in Poland
One of Europe's fastest-growing economies with steady demand in production, logistics, construction and food processing.
Overview
Poland is one of the most popular destinations for international workers in the EU. The employer first obtains a work permit (Type A) from the local Voivodeship office; the candidate then applies for a national D-type visa at the Polish consulate. After arrival, workers can later apply for a temporary residence and work permit.
