Poland Work Permit

The Republic of Poland is a country that is located in Central Europe with a surface area of 312,696 square kilometers and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.

Bordered in the west by Germany, the Czech Republic in the southwest, Slovakia in the south, Belarus in the east, and Lithuania. The country shares maritime borders with Denmark and Sweden. Poland had become a favorite destination for many people looking for better work opportunities abroad with its low unemployment rate, better salary packages, and fairly low cost of living.

Many occupations are in great demand in Poland and require foreign workers. However, foreign workers are required to have the proper visas and work permits in Poland, as established by immigration laws.
