Hi All,

Do I need travel medical insurance to apply for work visa taking into consideration that my employer is to provide medical and life insurance during my time of employment?

If yes to the above, how do I convince those in the embassy, since it is stated as one of the requirements to apply for visa in their website?

In other words, what are the specific requirements to apply for a work visa in Kraków-Poland?

Thanks in advance for your anticipated response.

Roy.

NB: I already have my work permit.

It should be enough to provide a printed copy / proof of insurance from your employer. According to the site migrant (my translation):

If the alien has insurance issued on the basis of performing a legal work, the requirement of having medical insurance (both in the case of applying for a National Visa and Schengen visa) can be considered fulfilled.
