Law / If I have a work permit, what are the chances that my visa application will get rejected? [25]

1. How much time does it take to process and send work permit ?
I found in few old posts that it may take 2-3 months.
If I may ask how much time did it take for you ?

Yes they say the average is about 1.5 months for getting the work permit.
In my case I think the employer got the work permit in about 2-3 weeks.
I think it depends on many factors since the work permit issuing is a Government activity.

2. Is it required to book/reserve flight when applying for Visa?
Yes while applying for Visa you need to have a reservation for the air ticket

3. For how long do we have to buy travel insurance and travel health insurance ?
Travel insurance and health insurance is same, its required for 3 months from the day of arriving in Poland. The Polish embassy website has a list of insurance providers whose insurance is accepted.

Good luck to your for your trip

I would like to answer this question myself after going through the experience.

The only chance that a Polish Visa application based on a work permit gets rejected is if you fill up the application form wrongly or if you fail to submit the required documents (travel insurance/work permit letter for example)

Compared to the other kind of Visas the Visa based on work permit is more straight forward (There was no detailed interview , for example)
And there is no need to show proof of funds/bank statement for your stay in Poland

Thanks for your help :)

Law / If I have a work permit, what are the chances that my visa application will get rejected? [25]

Hi there,

This forum has already helped me with lots of info, thanks for that, you guys are doing a great job.

I am a software professional from India. I have a job offer from Poland now.

This is the scenario I am in.

I have a notice period of 2 months in my current organization. As I understand the entire process of getting the Visa stamped (background check , work permit and Visa) might take upto 3 months. So to make it safer for me, I should wait for a max period of 3 months before resigning from my current job. Then I will have to serve the 2 months notice period and I will have to wait for a total of 3+2= 5 months before I move to Poland.

Now, 5 months is a long time, it will be great if I can somehow make it shorter.

So here is my question.

Will it be safe for me if I resign from my current job after getting the work permit from Poland ? - thereby saving the time required to get the Visa

Or in other words, what are the chances that my Visa application gets rejected if I have a work permit?

Thanks,
binith
