Hello Everyone, My Name is Narinder. I am a Digital Marketing Professional from last 5+ Yrs in India. Now, I am looking to move Poland with a Valid Work Permit. Can you please suggest me that Is this is a good time to move to Poland? Any work permit suggestions please?
Can you please suggest me that Is this is a good time to move to Poland?
Not a good time because of the pandemic.
Any work permit suggestions please?
The only way to get a work permit is to apply for a job in Poland. If you are successful, your employer arranges the work permit which is valid as long as you continue to work in that job. That is the only legal way to obtain a work permit. Don't give money to anybody who tells you they can obtain a permit for you, they can't. It will be issued by your employer in Poland.
@Atch Thanks for the suggestion and Yes there is an employer who arranges the work permit for me but only thing he is asking to submit the govt. fee for the visa which is hardly 200 euro..that's it
content marketing is key. I think digital marketing and content marketing are the same thing right? I know these days content is key content is data for companies and data is the new gold ready to be mined by machines.

He shouldn't be asking you to pay for that. Has the employer discussed with you who will pay your costs of relocating to Poland?? A good employer will pay for your flight and give you some money towards finding a place to live. An employer who is already asking you to give HIM money before you even start work for him, is somebody you should stay away from. There are plenty of good companies out there who will hire you and pay your expenses.
My employer is paying for my living and food expense with the tax, Social Security etc but initially asking for the documents fee only which he doesn't want to pay from his own side because he is saying that he already getting foolish with many Indians who initially plan to come to Poland but At last they left out by which his money gets wasted.
@jon357 He is from Bangladesh and a Polish employer. He asks for only 120 euro for the Govt and his lawyer fee for my documents. He already sent my documents to the labour court and rest he knows well as I am not enough aware of the Polish Laws and Regulations. He has the restaurants on contracts so the living and food cost is included.
He has the restaurants on contracts so the living and food cost is included just he ask for the document fee.@jon357
1. He told me that he has given the govt. documents and his lawyer fee from his own and now he wants me to send the same amount of money to his Poland Bank Account.
2. He told me that he has to sent 2 documents .. one is an opinion letter from his own and the second is my documents and now he said that he is waiting for the reply to come within few weeks.
3. Yes, he has already an Indian Restrtacunt and now he is going to open 1 more. Yes, he is actually in Gliwice, Poland now.
Yes, he is still not asking for money instantly but he wants me to pay the govt fee as he is already getting foolish with many Indians who initially plan to come to Poland but At last they left out by which his money gets wasted.
@jon357 As I am also good in online research things. I am going to work with his restaurant which i checked online and yes there is the same restaurant online with his details and pictures as well.
The owner asks for 200 euros which is 800pln roughly sounds suspicious,did you confirm he is the real owner?I have heard lots of agents and consultancy people are ripping off people in Poland.Honestly I feel they will pay you peanuts for working in a restaurant most likely 12 or over more hours a day 6/7 days with same pay and 6/7 people in 1 bedroom flat of course free food from the restaurant .
@Cargo Yes, I am confirmed that he is the real owner. 200 euro for 2 persons. 8 hrs job with six days work in a week and Yes free food from the restaurant .

That's his problem Narinder, not yours. One of the realities of running a business is that you incur certain costs/overheads. If an employer wants to bring in workers from abroad, it's the employer's responsibility to bear the costs of that. If applicants for the job let him down, that's part of life when you run a business.
In your original post, you gave the impression that you were coming to Poland to work in your profession of marketing and you were advised that it's not a good time to move because of the pandemic. Coming to work in a restaurant is a much worse situation for you as restaurants have been closed except for takeaway services for almost a whole year. Many, many restaurants have closed down permanently, gone out of business. There is a possibility that after 9 April, we will have an even stricter lockdown because the virus is getting worse and worse here. You would be better off using your money to invest in some good business English classes on an online platform or perhaps start learning Polish with an online platform, if you have a long term plan to move to Poland.
You're welcome Narinder. Remember, you're an educated, professional person and when this pandemic has improved a bit, there will be many opportunities for you in your profession. Concentrate on the profession for which you are trained and where you have experience and if you want to move to Poland in particular, learning the language, even just basic Polish, will give you a big advantage over other candidates from the Indian sub continent. Learn the language, learn all you can about Poland and its culture, so you will be an impressive applicant. There is really no back door into Europe through starting out in a restaurant job. Spend your time and money preparing to come in the front door :) Best of luck.
@Atch @Strzelec35 Thank you very much. I really appreciate your words and the kindness towards me and all Indians who really looking for a job in Poland. BTW I love Poland the food, the culture and Yes, the language as well. Yes, I will start learning the Polish language too and will learn more about Poland. Thanks All
It kind of makes sense gradually for restaurants who do delivery work or who cater to deliveries like uber eats to do more marketing to attract people online i mean its possible its a legit offer. also many restaurants still get many customers this way.
Most restaurants with food as there main seller are doing 70 to 80% of what they did before covid,as I have restaurants and I check there water bills and charge rent accordingly but they are making more as they are saving a lot on on staff wages lol and rent too and salons are doing like 125%.Some bars or Alcohol based restaurants I charge only the management fee and taxes as they are just shut down and none of my tenants have gone under and still have hope.Even the Govt owned properties managments are directed not to pressure tenants and take whatever rent they pay if they pay and not to evict them.
how are they saving on overheard or land costs capital if they are still on a lease from their agreements? Saving on hiring staff (labor) that makes sense but capital? Of course unless like you ewid they have less pressure to pay a certain amount but besides that are they saving actual overhead costs?
The landlords know that and also that the tenants are golden egg laying hens,so they dont charge them full rent.Electric,heat,and lots of stuff they save on,infact most are making more money in covid then they did before.
