45 Jobs That Make It Easier for Foreigners to Obtain a Polish Work Visa

Among sectors that are looking to hire new employees are healthcare, physical labour, food and services industry, AtoZSerwisPlus.com reports.

In addition, the Ministry of Family and Social Policy in Poland highlighted that the country’s labour market has experienced a shortage of personnel for years now, in a press release issued in September of this year.

Nevertheless, according to Polish authorities, the inclusion of foreigners, including Ukrainian citizens, in the Polish labour market has eased shortages, and employers demonstrate a significant interest in hiring them.

Additionally, Poland ranks fifth in terms of the economic activity rates of foreigners among all EU Member States, reaching 81.6 per cent in 2022, according to Eurostat data. Such a figure surpasses even the EU average, which is 72.5 per cent.

This implies that foreigners who intend to live and work in Poland, may benefit from labour shortages and have a higher chance of obtaining a visa, if their profession aligns with the country’s labour shortages.

Healthcare, construction, skilled trades, and IT are among sectors that have the most shortages. According to the European Labour Authority (EURES), the most in demand occupations are as follows.

Who Needs a Visa in Order To Work in Poland?

Individuals from EU/EEA countries or Switzerland are exempt from the requirement to obtain a visa to work in Poland.

Meanwhile, citizens who do not belong to any of the mentioned countries are required a visa in order to work within Polish countries.

In this instance, Polish employers must apply for a work permit on behalf of the potential employee. After the work permit is issued, the employee can apply for a work visa at the Polish Embassy.

However, before starting the process of applying for a work visa,  foreigners must choose one of the five types of work permits, that align with their job circumstances.

Poland stands out among other EU countries as a sought-after destination for individuals seeking new jobs. During last year and the first half of 2023, Poland granted thousands of national visas.
