you are not going to be able to get a work permit unless you have a job offer.
it is very unlikely that you are going to find an employer willing to jump through hoops in order to obtain a work permit for you
did your university promise you a job at the end of your course? this seems to be standard operating practice with many Polish universities in order to 'sucker in' overseas students
i dont know why u sound so mean,as expats in poland should help each other instead of hurt each other,right? in my city,i found many foreigners around the world live in harmony and get on well each other too, btw, i guess u are from UK right
I am telling you the reality of applying for a work permit in Poland with no job secured
if someone was mean, they would lie and tell you that you are guaranteed to find a job and that it is really easy to find work in the Polish city which
you neglected to tell us that you are living in, That way you would blow all your money chasing after a job that you could not possibly
hope to get as no one is going to sponsor your work permit. Sad, broke and dejected you would then have no other option but to return to
your home country
rather than do that, I chose to tell you the reality of the situation and you then have the adacity to call me mean
I was in fact trying to help but you do not seem to realise that
there is a big difference between an expat and a recent graduate. The foreign expats working in big business over in Poland have been sent here by their firms and many work at senior management level. You are looking for an entry level position. there is a world of difference.
please answer some basic questions then I might be able to help more
1 city you are in at the moment? 2 what course did you do? 3 home country? 4 do you speak Polish?
that way I might be able to give you some practical advice
Only people from other UE countries may work in Poland. The others need to find employers in Poland, who need to prove the Ministry of Labor that no Pole or no resident can do the work so better to forget it. I know that at least very recently (now I don't know) such work permit needed to be re-applied for every year.
There are plenty of countries more attractive in terms of salaries and economic conditions so no need to struggle in Poland (unless stuck for personal matters).
Hi, I am from India(City - Chennai). I have around 4 years work experience with Cognizant (a Business Solutions company which has branches all over the world). I want to quit and pursue the M.Sc. International Business and Management (Double Degree) at Kozminski University - I want to know what are oppurtunities we have after this M.Sc degree. My ultimate aim is to find a Management oriented job in one of the European Contries.
I want to know what are oppurtunities we have after this M.Sc degree
No better that with a M.Sc. degree from a good Indian university. Sorry to burst your bubble, but studying in Poland is not an easy way to enter the European Union labor force. If you can't study in Western Europe or in an English-speaking country, your best bet is to study at home in India.
Polish Universities want to earn money from international students. That is all. They are NOT concerned whether you get a job or not after you finish. It is not THEIR problem. In the same way they are not concerned whether Polish nationals get a job after they finish their studies.
It's a case of universities turning from institutions of higher education preparing people for professional work in the country of the university to an international profit making schemes. It's purely disgusting.
Classes in English where this is not the language of the country are a big symptom of that. It's not about education it's about turning Asian student cash cows into hamburgers.
Very true mafketis, at the end of the day no one forced these students to attend these universities however I do agree that these practices seem to hinder educational quality. A problem has been identified, now the question is how to fix it.
As it takes two for a tango, aren't those "students" also to blame? They are so naive that such jerky schools take advantage of them. As all these jerky schools have hard times to recruit among Poles as their studies and diplomas are useless, they simply fool naive guys from Africa and Asia selling them BS.
This is as old as the world, just making money out of the naive and feeble!
Graduated from Polish university! what did you study there? If you can speak English, I will suggest you to come to England. Here is 1000 times better than in Poland.
I'm from the U.S. and I did my MA in Lublin (the degree is in Philosophy). I was able to apply for a special temporary residence permit for the year subsequent to finishing my degree (and was also granted the ability to work without a work permit). I am about to renew my temp. residence card -- do I also need to apply for a work permit?
To the question "Who may work in Poland without a work permit?" one website answers:
... is a graduate of Polish secondary schools, or has completed full time studies (tertiary education), or full-time doctoral studies at Polish universities and scientific and research institutions.
Does this mean that I do not need to apply for a work permit?
The only answer that counts is the one you would get by asking at the Foreigners Office at the Provincial Headquarters. They are the one making the decision.
