Work / Work Permit and Requirement (not authorized to work in Poland) [12]

I recently applied for a job in Poland while I was not authorized to work there so it was obvious that I would need to get a work permit for that . Although I have good amount of experience and a large list of certifications which makes my profile impressive as compared to others , I was being informed by the recruiter that since I don't have a bachelors degree Govt. of Poland will not issue work permit for me and hence I wasn't considered for that position even when I had an attractive profile .

These kinds of cases just come up rarely I believe and recruiter may have informed me on basis of assumptions because of which I would like to clarify on this forum that the main requirement to gain a work permit in any country is a job offer , apart from that is there a requirement for a bachelors degree ?

Thanks for the reply delphiandomine but I wanted to know if the govt. requires a bachelors degree for a work permit as I don't see that mentioned on website anywhere . There are a few specialized field where employers offer work permit and willing to hire international candidates .

Thanks for the detailed reply . My work area is Network Security Engineering and company is a multi national, company is willing to exempt the degree requirement but my question was for Work Permit which is issued by govt . I also recently was interviewed by a recruiter from Ireland for a position where she stated that I would need a degree but upon my request to re-check , it was clear that they dont need a degree for this purpose . The only thing required was 18+ years of age and a job offer letter from that company .

There are times where recruiters are not sure about this thing and assume that this would be a govt requirement while I dont see this to be a requirement for countries across the globe . btw I am from South Asia and I will surely contact the local embassy/consulate for this issue .

I think its getting confused . Point is company is willing to offer work letter but recruiter was thinking that I will not receive a Work permit from Poland government even if I have an offer letter from the company because I dont have a degree .

So question was , will a degree be required FROM GOVT. to offer work permit or Offer Letter and 18+ age is the only requirement for an engineer post .

apologies for all the confusion
