Poland is one of the most accessible EU countries for Bangladeshi workers. The country has a high demand for workers in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and services — and the legal pathway is clear if you follow the right steps.
The Two-Step Process: Work Permit + Visa
Getting to work in Poland legally as a Bangladeshi citizen requires two main steps:
- Your employer gets a Work Permit (Zezwolenie na Prace) from the Voivode in Poland
- You apply for a National Visa (Type D) at the Polish Embassy in Dhaka
Types of Work Permits in Poland
- Type A — most common, for specific employer and position
- Type B — for company board members
- Type C — for seconded workers
- Type S — for seasonal work (up to 9 months/year)
Most Bangladeshi workers coming for manufacturing, construction, or logistics will use Type A.
Requirements for Work Permit (Type A)
- Valid job offer with specified salary (at least minimum wage: 4,806 PLN gross/month in 2026)
- Employer registered in Poland (KRS/NIP/REGON)
- Labour market test (Starosta approval) for most positions
- Employer application submitted to Voivode with all supporting documents
Polish Embassy in Dhaka
After receiving the work permit number, you apply for the visa at:
- Embassy of Poland in Dhaka, Bangladesh
- Address: House 3, Road 120, Gulshan 1, Dhaka-1212
- Visa type: National Visa D (long-stay)
- Processing: 15-30 working days
After Arrival: Apply for Karta Pobytu
Once in Poland, apply for Karta Pobytu within 3 months via MOS portal. This gives you a residence card valid for 1-3 years, renewable. You can then bring your family after 1 year of legal stay.
Important: Never work in Poland without a valid permit. Penalties for both you and your employer are severe.
