Work / D Visa- To work and study in Poland [25]

Hi People,

Here's something about my background. I am an Indian, likely to move to Warsaw, Poland sometime next month ( Feb 2013). My Indian husband works in Poland with a Type D visa.

My question: Once I am in Poland can I work or study with a Type D visa ? What are the chances of me getting a suitable job ? My native language is English, my work background is in Human Resources ( Recruitments) and to sum up my work experience is close to 5 yrs.

Also, need to understand about the positives and negatives of having a Type D visa.

Awaiting your valuable responses.

Thanks and Regards,
Finfairy

Work / D Visa- To work and study in Poland [25]

Thanks a lot Pablom for your quick response. I shall surely get in touch with you once I am there :-)

From what I have read so far, I thought a Type 'D' visa allows you to work ( keeping in mind that you are a dependent and your spouse has a work permit already. So what I meant was you need not apply for a work permit separately. You qualify for it by default). Not sure about how this works in Poland.

Also, how open is Poland when it comes to recruiting / hiring English speaking people at work? I am sure its a cakewalk for technical professionals ( example : IT professionals) for whom learning the local language may not be mandatory /needed when compared with professionals with a non- technical background. ( example : a Human Resource professional).

It would be great if you or any of you from the group can address this.

Thanks,
