How Citizens of India & Bangladesh Can Work Legally in Poland in 2025

Poland remains one of the most attractive destinations for professionals from India and Bangladesh. In 2025, the country continues reforming immigration rules to make the legalization process faster, transparent, and efficient. In this article — a full guide: from invitation to official employment.

Read on to learn how to complete the entire path to legal work in Poland — smoothly, quickly, and without mistakes.

What Does the Visa & Invitation Process Look Like?

To legally work in Poland in 2025, a citizen of India or Bangladesh must go through several key stages. Here’s how it looks:

Step 1: Find an employer & get an invitation

Your Polish employer initiates submission to the Voivodeship Office electronically. It may be a Declaration A (for work up to 12 months) or a Work Permit A (for longer-term employment with a contract).

 Step 2: Obtain the permit

• Declaration A — used for seasonal or short-term work, no labor market test required.

• Work Permit A — standard permit for full employment, usually issued for one year or more.

Step 3: Apply for a national D visa

After receiving the invitation, apply at the Polish consulate in your country. Required documents:

• Valid international passport

• Biometric photo

• Medical insurance with €30,000 coverage

• Employer documentation

Step 4: Arrival in Poland & legalization

Upon entry, you register your residence, apply for a temporary residence permit, and register with the Polish ZUS (social insurance system).

After that, you officially gain legal worker status in Poland.

How Long Does Legalization Take?

On average, the full process — from submitting the invitation to getting a work visa — takes 30 to 60 days. This depends on how fast the Voivodeship Office processes the request and how quickly the consulate schedules and reviews.

Consular procedures typically take up to 6 weeks, so experts recommend starting at least 2 months before the planned departure. This helps avoid delays and keeps the process under control.
