Visa Refusals: The embassy in Nairobi strictly verifies candidate intentions and employer documents.
Long Waiting Times: Obtaining a Work Permit in Poland can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months.
Document Legalization: Kenyan documents (diplomas, certificates) require legalization and sworn Polish translation.

The Path to Poland for Kenyans: From Work Permit to Residence Card

Kenyan citizens require a National Work Visa (D-Visa) to enter Poland legally for employment. Securing this visa on your own can be challenging.

LegalMigra provides comprehensive legal support: we start by obtaining a legal Work Permit in Poland, assist with your visa strategy, and once you arrive, we process your Residence Card.

Step 1: Type A Work Permit

Everything starts with a legal job offer. Your employer must apply for a Work Permit (Zezwolenie na pracę Typ A). We handle the entire process with the Polish authorities (Urząd), ensuring the paperwork is perfect to prevent embassy rejections later.

Step 2: Visa Application & Appeals

With the Work Permit in hand, you apply at the Polish Embassy in Nairobi. If the consul issues a refusal (which happens often due to minor errors or doubts about intentions), we help draft a strong legal Appeal (Odwołanie) to overturn the decision.

Step 3: Residence Card (Karta Pobytu)

Once you successfully arrive in Poland, we immediately start your Residence Card process. This allows you to legally live and work in the country for up to 3 years without needing to constantly renew your visa.

Comprehensive Legal & Administrative Support

We provide comprehensive adaptation assistance: obtaining a PESEL number, address registration (zameldowanie), vehicle registration and customs clearance, as well as legal support for marriage registration in Poland. Our lawyers will handle all the bureaucracy.

Frequently Asked Questions for Kenyans

Yes, Kenyan citizens must have a visa. For employment purposes, you need a National D-Visa.

You must find a Polish employer first. Once you have a job offer, we handle the legal process of obtaining the Work Permit on behalf of your employer.

You have 14 days to file an appeal (Odwołanie) with the consul. We analyze the refusal reasons and draft a robust legal appeal letter.

Immediately after arriving in Poland legally on your work visa. Do not wait until your visa is about to expire.
