As I mentioned above there are no more difficulties to get a visa for work and stay purpose. As well as the labor demand in Poland is increasing day by day. Before this report, I prepared a blog on the title ‘Being Warsaw a business hub’. Different business projects are in the construction phase and various companies, as well as international companies are also investing in Poland’s market. Therefore there is a high demand for working people and skilled people. Recently according to the news portal sites, Poland’s labor market and manpower are running by the immigrants of its neighboring non-EU countries like Ukraine, Belarus etc.

The opportunities are expanding, the companies are hiring highly qualified as well as semi-qualified people from different part of the world mostly EU citizen and also non-EU citizens.

For me, the challenges are less as compared than opportunities. For sure there are some challenges if you looking for highly paid jobs and own business but according to the normal average wages of Poland, you can find the job easily. According to the new act law of 2019, the minimum monthly income fixed by the government is 2250pln (around 600 $).
The problem is seen in term of temporary residence permit. According to the act law of foreigner affairs, after submitting all the required documents, the prospect will receive the temporary residence permit within 4 months. That is just being a story now days. Most of immigrants are waiting for more than a year even submitting all the required documents. It is making difficulties to get job and to change the jobs. It is compulsory to have either visa or TRC to work legally. That’s why so many immigrants are facing this problem of TRC and work. They are just spending the time by waiting the Temporary Residence Permit. The foreign affairs should be aware of this problem and should be solved this problem as soon as possible.
