Law / Obtaining National VISA - Poland insurance requirements [9]

Dear Juli,
Even if the post dates to last year, I don't see an affirmative answer to your question. Since I'm applying myself for a visa to Poland (in the purpose of work), I'm in the same situation with same question : shall I pay for insurance covering all period of stay (which will be min 1 year ) or just the travel period (let's say 1 month or 2 before I will be covered by insurance from my company). Thanks in advance.

Law / Questions on documentation for working in Poland ( Visa/work permit/Insurance ) [23]

Hi Udarkness,
I'm in the same situation, my future company just applied to my work permit, an I was informed that I will need an insurance with min 30000 euros, but I can't really find real clear answer for how long it should cover, since once there, the employer will provide health insurance.

I found these 2 pages, but still the answer is not clear. The second link below states that employer could pay . Please if you have more information share

Entry_in_Poland.html
" travel health insurance document (with minimum coverage of 30 000 EUR) valid for the duration of their stay in Poland"

Visas.html
"Travel and health insurance. Schengen visa applicants should ensure themselves for medical assistance valued at least 30 000 €. Polish visa applicants may benefit from national insurance scheme, such as NFZ- what is it?

Attention: Foreigners may be ensured by their employers. "

Law / Obtaining National VISA - Poland insurance requirements [9]

Dear Julie,
Thank you very much for your reply , I really appreciated.
Today I was contacted by the HR from my future company, and he directed me to take an insurance for 1 whole year just to be safe with the visa being issued for that long , even if I will be covered after that by insurance from company (they seem to be ready to pay me back the expenses so I will follow their direction to avoid any problematic situation ).

On the other hand it is true that my employer will offer most probably insurance with Medicover, so I will follow your advice regarding this kind of limited insurance to have a private one.

Again, thanks for your kind reply .
All the best ,
Foued

Hi ,
I'm living in Czech Republic (not a citizen, I need a visa to renew every year) . I will finally ask for 1 year insurance because I was directed today to do so by my future employer, so I will do it even if I'm not convinced.

On the other hand , I want to share another post on this subject with the kind explanation from Julie regarding this point, based on her experience no need for such extensive insurance

I will not be providing anything special regarding financial means other than my contract with the company , actually I didn't know that there is such a minimum also for finances, but I think the work permit acts like a 'go' to validate the financial means : if the offer satisfies the minimum requirements (the purpose is to avoid social dumping with cheap labor), the rest will go easier. I don't think the requirements are so high, but honestly I don't have exact numbers regarding it, I'm still waiting for the work permit,

Dear Julie,
Please allow me to ask regarding the visa process. I was just informed today by my future employer that work permit is ready :) , so now I'm preparing to apply for the visa. I checked the required documents on malopolska.uw.gov.pl/default.aspx?page=Residence_permit_for_fixed_period

Please advice me on these points :

- Is the work permit enough to apply for visa, or it is needed whole contract (which I don't have), because both are mentioned there.

- Did you have to prove with some paper : 'sufficient funds to cover the cost of entry, stay and departure from the territory of Poland'

- Is it necessary to provide proof for accommodation in advance ?

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Best regards,
Foued
