Why It Matters

Understanding the core challenges, our robust solutions, and the proven pathway to success.

The Challenge

Main Challenges for Filipinos

The process requires careful preparation.

  • Visa & DMW Process: MWO contract verification and visa processing take time.
  • DFA Apostille: Polish offices require an Apostille for all official documents.
  • Business Limits: Filipinos cannot open a sole proprietorship (JDG), only an LLC (Sp. z o.o.).

Legalization and Employment for Filipinos in Poland

Philippine citizens require a National Work Visa (Type D) and a valid Work Permit to enter and work legally in Poland.

LegalMigra provides comprehensive legal support, navigating both Polish regulations and specific Philippine requirements like MWO/POLO verification.

Obtaining a Work Permit (Type A)

The process begins in Poland. We assist your employer in securing a Type A Work Permit, which is the foundation for your visa application.

Contract Verification (MWO) & Visa

For Filipinos to legally exit the Philippines for overseas work (to obtain an OEC), the employment contract must be verified by the Migrant Workers Office (MWO, formerly POLO). We advise employers on meeting these standards.

DFA Apostille for Philippine Documents

The Philippines is part of the Hague Convention. Polish authorities require your civil documents (birth/marriage certificates) to bear a DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) Apostille and be translated by a Polish sworn translator.

Residence Card & Family Reunification

Upon arrival, you can apply for a Residence Card (Karta Pobytu) valid for up to 3 years. With sufficient income, you can also initiate family reunification.

Frequently Asked Questions by Philippine Citizens

The Philippine government requires employment contracts to be verified by MWO to issue an OEC.
Yes, civil registry documents require a DFA Apostille and Polish sworn translation.
Yes, once you have a Residence Card, you can apply for family reunification.
