Where we are with Poland today
We are honest about our status. Our first partnership with a Polish recruitment agency is being established. That means we are checking the agency's registration, licence, sample contracts and the real terms offered to candidates.
Until that check is complete we do not publish Polish vacancies and do not promise candidates specific offers. You can already submit your profile: when a verified vacancy appears, we contact candidates with matching experience first.
How legal employment in Poland works for non-EU citizens
A citizen of Armenia can work legally in Poland only when two different things are in place: a document giving the right to work, which the Polish employer obtains or which is tied to your residence status, and a document giving the right to enter and stay in Poland, usually a national D-type visa, for which you apply at a Polish consulate.
The employer applies to the Polish authorities for the work permit, not you and not us. You apply for the visa through the consular section of the Polish Embassy in Yerevan, registering in the e-Konsulat system. Both decisions are made by Polish state authorities and nobody can guarantee them.
Polish rules on employing foreigners change periodically. This page was last reviewed on the date shown below. Always check the official sources and ask the employer which document you will be working under.
What every Polish vacancy must disclose
Every Polish vacancy we publish shows the employer or responsible agency, work location, duties, required experience and language, gross salary, normal working hours and overtime terms, contract type and duration, accommodation and its cost, transport, insurance, expected deductions, who pays for travel, work-permit and visa support, application deadline, expected start, status and the date last verified.
Poland has several types of employment contract and they give different rights (for example paid leave and sick pay). Check which type you are offered and ask what it means in practice. Taxes and social contributions are deducted from gross salary, and accommodation costs may be deducted too; the net amount in your hand is always smaller.
Living in Poland: what to expect
The cost of living in Poland varies considerably between cities: accommodation is expensive in Warsaw and Kraków and more affordable in smaller towns and rural areas. Many employers provide shared accommodation deducted from pay; ask how many people share a room and what is included.
There is an Armenian community in Poland, but it is small: expect to communicate in Polish, English or Russian in daily life. Learning basic Polish before departure is a real advantage at work and in everyday situations.

Questions about this country
Can I go to Poland on a tourist visa and find work afterwards?
No. A tourist or short-stay Schengen visa does not give the right to work, and advice like this is a clear sign of a fake offer. For legal work the employer must obtain a work permit in advance and you need the appropriate visa. Doing otherwise can lead to fines, removal and a future entry ban.
How long does the process for Poland take?
It depends on the type of work permit, the workload of Polish authorities and the visa queue at the consulate. In practice, months rather than weeks. We do not promise an exact timeline because it does not depend on us; in each vacancy we state what to expect based on the employer's experience.
Who pays for the work permit and the visa?
The state fee for the work permit is usually borne by the employer, because the employer is the applicant. The consular visa fee, medical insurance and translations are often paid by the candidate unless the employer offers otherwise. These are government and service fees, not recruitment fees: Armenian Workers does not charge candidates a recruitment fee. Each vacancy states who pays for what.
Armenian Workers is a private company. It is not part of any government, embassy or immigration authority and cannot influence permit or visa decisions. Last reviewed: 4 September 2026. Requirements may change. Always check the official source linked on the page.
