Employer side in Poland

How MaViAl files the work permit

For employment under an agreement with a Polish entity, the current procedure is the work permit for a foreign national employed by a Polish entity. The historic phrase “Type A work permit” remains useful as a search term, but the current electronic forms use updated terminology.

  • The employer is the party to the work-permit proceeding.
  • The application and all attachments are submitted only through praca.gov.pl.
  • The employer attaches the candidate's passport-data-page copy.
  • Qualifications are attached where the intended work is in a regulated profession.
  • Foreign-language evidence used in the Polish proceeding may require a Polish sworn translation.
Candidate protection

Recruitment is not a visa sale

MaViAl recruitment is free. A jobseeker should not be charged a placement commission for being offered employment. Any optional paid service on this page is limited to separate document-preparation support after recruitment selection.

Do not pay anyone for a “guaranteed visa”, “guaranteed e‑Konsulat draw” or “guaranteed work permit”. These decisions and appointment allocations are controlled by public authorities and official systems.

  • Check the latest VFS address and service charge for the selected VAC.
  • Use the current government checklist immediately before submission because requirements can change.
