Poland is an attractive country for foreign professionals, but taking a job and settling here requires professional help too. Without such help you may encounter some problems.
1. Choose one passport. If you have dual or multiple citizenship, settle all formalities with one passport.
2. Extend the passport. Work permits are issued for a maximum period of one year, but not beyond the passport's expiration date.
3. Remember the visa. Make sure whether citizens of your country are free from the visa obligation and if not, apply for a visa.
4. Find your diploma or certificate documenting your graduation from an institution of higher education or high school. Without the document, you may face problems getting a work permit.
5. Only bring things, such as furniture or equipment, that you will take back with you. Do not throw them away. You will have to pay a duty for everything you leave in Poland.
6. Register your car and change your driver's license. Remember, if your country has no agreement with Poland on an automatic exchange of licenses, then you are obliged to have an international driving license.
7. Do not rent a house or apartment without assistance. Consult an expert regarding the location, price and lease contract or entrust the matter to us.
8. Get yourself ready for different relations at the workplace. Your Polish employees might isolate you in order to appear more valuable in your eyes.
9. Keep your documents safe, especially those which are difficult to replace. Do not leave them in the car, a cloakroom, or your jacket.
10. Find a professional adviser who will handle all the formalities of your stay in Poland and act as your caretaker.
