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.
