Which Poland route fits Filipinos?
Poland Type A is employer-sponsored through the Voivodeship. You need a qualifying offer meeting statutory salary and working-time rules, then the employer secures the work permit, and you attend the Polish mission for the National D visa and later the TRC after arrival. No direct-hire outside this employer chain is recognised.
- Warehouse, factory, food processing, logistics, housekeeping, kitchen helper, hospitality
- Construction helpers and drivers where licensed and quota-matched
Philippines & GCC OFW specifics
- Dual clearance: NBI clearance (or NBI via consulate if in GCC) plus GCC police clearance (MOI/General Department of Criminal Evidence). Start both early.
- DFA apostille/consulate: Philippine education and civil records via DFA apostille; GCC-issued experience letters via home-country consulate where the mission requires.
- Filing venue: Filipinos in Philippines file at the Polish Embassy in Manila/VFS Poland PH. GCC OFWs file at the Polish mission serving their GCC residence (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait) where allowed, with valid Emirates ID/Iqama/QID.
- DMW/POLO: If exiting via Manila, allow time for OEC/POLO verification; GCC deployments follow different departure mechanics.
Sequence from Philippines / GCC
- Assess occupation, offer and statutory minima
- Employer lodges Type A at the Voivodeship
- Collect work permit decision, compile consular file
- Book correct mission (Manila or GCC post) and attend biometrics
- After entry: TRC, PESEL, health coverage steps
FAQs
Can Filipinos in GCC file for Poland from Dubai, Riyadh or Doha?
Often yes if your GCC residence is valid with months remaining. Your NBI (Philippines) and GCC police clearance both apply, plus DFA-apostilled records. We map the correct Polish mission: Dubai, Riyadh, Doha or Manila, by residence and nationality.
What does Poland Type A from the Philippines require?
A qualifying employer offer, Voivodeship work-permit type A, consular National D visa, translations and insurance. Occupations most seen: warehouse, factory, food processing, hospitality and logistics. Each needs employer selection before any permit.
Do we need POEA/DMW processing?
If you depart from the Philippines, DMW/OEC and POLO touchpoints may apply. If you deploy from GCC residence, departure and verification mechanics differ. Confirm with DMW/POLO plus the Polish mission for your corridor.
Do you guarantee jobs or approvals?
No. We provide eligibility assessment and application support. Employment depends on employer selection and permit/visa decisions are made by Polish authorities.
