LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN POLISH IMMIGRATION

 

April 2018 

Work permit and visa issued by Polish embassy.  Is this possible ? Many people ask if this is genuine way to move to Poland.  Well it all depends on how big & reputed your sponsor company is and what type of work permit you get.  It is usually not easy to pass the immigration interview at Polish embassy. However, many skilled trades in construction industry can follow this method with good success. Carpenters, Masons, Steel Fixers, Welders etc. are in demand and have a good chance to get approval from Poland and the apply for a visa from Polish embassy. IT jobs are also a good scope.

 

March 2018

Poland gets tough on those applying for TRC on a tourist visa. Many applicants have been referred to border police and deported if they cannot pass the interview and provide proper explanations.  Proper legal counsel and preparation is now essential even before you fly to Poland from here.  We request all applicants to prepare early and see powerful legal counsel to ensure that application is submitted without any issues. Only genuine companies which are operating properly are able to sponsor non - EU nationals for TRC.

 

February 2018 

 Caution : Please ensure that your sponsor company is stable and really active. If the company shuts down in near future or has not been paying taxes, it can affect your application process, cause delays and even long term plans and give you headaches and added costs that you may not have expected. Therefore, please choose your mediator carefully. 

​

January 2018 - It is getting harder to get TRC submission appointments in Warsaw. Pre-Planning of submission is essential.

However, the Government has imposed new stricter laws in place to deter 'immigration fraud' and ensure that the program is not being exploited by foreigners who have no commitment towards the Lithuanian economy but just want a Schengen access. 

However, in order to avoid abuse of the system, Government has recently changed laws and require foreigners to show a genuine commitment to contribute to Lithuanian economy :
