Updated: Deposit: EUR 250 (refundable after 200 hours) Direct employer: Wrocław, Poland

MaViAl Sp. z o.o. is a Polish construction & engineering company from Wrocław. We support Zimbabwean citizens who want a Poland work visa by providing an official Type A work permit and employer documents for long-term legal work in Poland on a national Visa D.

If you live in Zimbabwe (e.g., Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare) and you are looking for legal jobs in Poland for Zimbabweans with a direct Polish employer (not a посредник selling “invitations”), this page explains the process, costs planning, documents and typical mistakes.

Direct Polish employer (documents only for future MaViAl employees).
Transparent terms: EUR 250 deposit returned after 200 work hours (written terms).
Employer documents for Visa D: Type A decision (once issued) + agreement + employer letter.

Important: we issue Type A work permits only for future MaViAl employees. We are not a visa agency, we do not sell invitations separately, and we cannot influence the decision of the Polish mission on your visa.

Costs & fees planning (Zimbabwe → Poland)

Many refusals and “bad agent” stories start with unclear costs. Below is a practical cost map. Exact consular fees can be collected in local currency and can change — always confirm on the official mission website.

Cost item Who pays Notes / transparency
Type A work permit service deposit Candidate EUR 250 refundable after 200 work hours with MaViAl (documented in writing). Not an “invitation sale”.
Visa application fee (Visa D / Schengen) Candidate Paid to the Polish mission/visa center. Fees can be collected in local currency. Check official mission tables for Zimbabwe region.
Medical insurance Candidate Insurance must match visa requirements and coverage period (common refusal reason: invalid coverage).
Translations / notarisation (if needed) Candidate Depends on documents and mission requirements.
Travel to the mission/visa center (if outside Zimbabwe) Candidate Important planning point: Zimbabwe applications can be processed by a regional Polish mission (see “Where to apply” note below).
Flight to Poland after visa approval Candidate Purchased after visa approval and start date confirmation.
Where to apply from Zimbabwe: in practice, Zimbabwe residents may be served by a regional Polish mission (e.g., Pretoria). Always confirm the responsible mission and current fee tables on gov.pl (Poland in South Africa). Consular fees for visa processing are typically shown in local currency on official mission pages (example fee table: Consular fees – Poland in RPA).

Documents checklist (Zimbabwean applicants)

Your visa decision depends on the consistency of the whole file: purpose → employment terms → finances → insurance → forms. Below is a practical checklist. The mission can request additional documents.

Employer-side documents (from MaViAl)

  • Employment contract or preliminary agreement with MaViAl Sp. z o.o.
  • Type A work permit decision (issued by Polish authorities once processed).
  • Employer letter/invitation describing role, location, and key contract conditions.

Personal documents (usually required by missions)

  • Valid passport + copies (check validity rules).
  • Visa application form and photos (as per mission requirements).
  • Medical insurance covering the relevant period and conditions.
  • Proof of accommodation / travel plan (depends on the mission and case).
  • Proof of funds (bank statements or other accepted proof).
  • Additional supporting documents if requested (e.g., previous visas, work history proofs, etc.).

Typical timelines (realistic planning)

Exact timing depends on authorities, seasonality and mission workload. Use the timeline below as a planning model, not a promise. We provide written milestones so you can track progress.

Stage What happens Typical range
1) Verification CV review, role match, preliminary agreement 1–7 days
2) Type A submission Employer submits file to the competent Polish authority After documents are complete
3) Type A decision Authority processes and issues the decision (if approved) Several weeks (varies)
4) Visa appointment You book and submit at the responsible Polish mission Depends on availability
5) Visa decision Mission reviews and decides on Visa D Varies by mission and season
Tip: the biggest delays usually come from (a) missing/weak personal documents, (b) insurance mismatch, (c) appointment availability, or (d) inconsistent information between forms and supporting evidence.

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

This section targets high-intent searches like “why Poland visa refused”, “fake invitation Poland”, and “work visa scam”. Use it as a pre-flight checklist before submitting.

Top refusal / delay triggers

  • Inconsistency: visa form vs. employment terms vs. finances do not match.
  • Insurance issues: wrong coverage period/terms (very common).
  • Weak supporting evidence: missing proof of funds or unclear purpose.
  • Passport validity: insufficient validity or missing pages.
  • Unverified intermediaries: paying “agents” for invitations or fake offers.

How MaViAl reduces preventable errors

  • We check “story consistency”: role → contract → timeline → visa narrative.
  • We provide a clear employer document set and written milestones.
  • We explain what the mission may ask and how to prepare answers/documents.
  • Transparent deposit terms in writing (no cash-only схемы).
  • We never claim guaranteed visa approval (red-flag phrase).
Safety rule: If anyone “guarantees” a Poland work visa, requests untraceable cash payments, or offers an “invitation without a job” — treat it as a scam risk. Employer documents must be tied to real employment.

FAQ: Poland work visa from Zimbabwe (Type A work permit)

Answers for Zimbabwean candidates who want legal work in Poland with a direct employer.

What exactly is a Type A work permit in Poland?

A Type A work permit is an employer-based permit used when a foreigner will work in Poland for a Polish employer under a Polish contract. It is issued by Polish authorities and is commonly used as an employer-side basis for a national Visa D application.

Is the EUR 250 deposit refundable?

Yes. It is a security deposit for the Type A work permit service and is returned after you work 200 hours for MaViAl in Poland under your employment agreement. The rules are documented in writing before payment.

Do you guarantee the visa?

No. We provide legal employer documents and preparation support, but the visa decision is always made by the Polish mission and cannot be guaranteed. Any “guarantee” claims are a red flag.

Where do I submit the visa application from Zimbabwe?

Zimbabwe residents may be served by a regional Polish mission (often Pretoria). Always confirm the responsible mission and up-to-date instructions on official gov.pl pages for your region.

What are the most common mistakes that lead to refusal?

Inconsistent information, weak proof of funds or purpose, insurance mismatch, and unclear employment conditions. We focus on reducing preventable errors by aligning documents and providing clear employer-side paperwork.
