Relocation to poland. Self-registration?

Hi My polish wife and i want to relocate to Poland, our marriage
register in Poland. i send a letter to the polish embassy in my country
regarding this issue, they wrote me: "with regard to your question, the Consular Section kindly inform that you have to apply for a long-term (National) visa in our Embassy. After you'll get it, you register yourself ( address of living) in Poland and go to Urząd Wojewódzki to apply for a work permit."

is it true? as i understand the residence visa already give me right to work, its better
to do the process in the embassy or in Poland?

Thank you

hi where are you from? and yes i think you have to have a visa

A resident visa doesn't not give you the permission to work.. and vice versa.

In Poland its two different documents.

so if you get a work permit, and without a resident visa, it wont do either.

To answer your question, yes you need a work permit to work in Poland while living in Poland :)

I know.. its strange ;)

what is your country?

i am from israel

there is a difference between national visa and residence permit?
