Overview
Everything you need to know about Poland immigration in 2026
Poland is Central Europe's largest and fastest-growing skilled-labour market — attracting Indian ICT, manufacturing, healthcare and construction professionals through work permits (Zezwolenie na pracę), EU Blue Card and Karta Pobytu residence permits. Mark Consultant, among the best visa and immigration consultants for Poland in Pune, files Type A/B/C/D/E work permits, Blue Card, National D visa, Karta Pobytu and family reunification applications.
Polish work permits are issued by voivodeship offices (Urząd Wojewódzki) at the request of the Polish employer. Type A (standard employment) is the most common route.
Poland runs one of the EU's largest Blue Card programmes — over 100,000 issued since inception, with strong demand for Indian ICT specialists in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk.
Karta Pobytu (temporary residence card) is issued after landing and is the main residence document for third-country workers, students and family members.
