Law / Visa for Work in Poland [29]
I am on the same boat right now. What I have been able to get from the Polish embassy (they are not extremely helpful, so I have had to send lots of emails and call repeatedly) is:
- You dont actually need the tickets, not even from home to Poland. What you need at the time of Visa application is the 2-way reservation which you can make at any travel agency. This will cost only a few $$ and you can then cancel it and buy the actual ticket (1 or 2-way)
- In my case, the embassy will accept the employment contract where it is specified that I will be covered by NFZ (public health) in Poland, and that's it. Anyway, it is safe to have travel insurance for 1 month at least. I wouldn't like to be rejected just for this reason.
Best wishes for you
- Is a return travel ticket really needed ?
