Polish business visa and company formation
The majority of our clients, especially from the Middle East and Gulf countries, frequently ask us about their first steps in Poland.
They have, what is perfectly understandable, concerns and ask how should they start. Do we have to start from company formation – they ask – or should we have to apply for a Schengen visa first and only after obtaining a Schengen visa can we register a business in Europe?
The answer to this question is maybe easier than they expect. Definitely, without the visa, the LLC company in Poland is partially useless for the person, who wants to live here and personally manage the company. Schengen visa and full access to the other member states of the European Union (not only Poland, as using Schengen business visa you can travel to 27 European countries) are important factors for people to choose Poland as their target point in EU.
What you must know is that having a registered Polish LLC company before you start the visa application process is highly recommended.
Why do I have to open the company in Poland first and apply for the visa in the second step?
As we have extensive knowledge and experience about the practice of Polish consulates in the Middle East, we can give you the most reliable answers.
What you must know is that Polish consular officials must be provided with proof of real cooperation between you and your Polish business partner and a pure statement from your side is not enough, just as well as a simple invitation from a Polish company. What is needed is solid evidence of real cooperation. That is why you need to show in the Polish consulate the documents of an already registered company in Poland, and – by consulate request – provide information about contracts and business relations with other Polish companies so the visa application will be considered more genuine. We can help you with that.
From our side, we will also provide a government confirmed invitation letter and officially signed and stamped hotel booking to even exceed the consulate's expectations.
During the visa application process, you will need to show that you have a basic knowledge about Polish economy, history, and culture, and be prepared for visa interview and frequently asked questions For your convenience we prepared a special learning kit, which we send to you as we would like you to feel most comfortable at the visa interview.
