If you are not an EU citizen, you can’t take a developer job in Poland without a permit. The employer always plays a part in getting it. This page lists companies on our board that have shown they support visas and work permits for new hires.
The list updates automatically from our job data. To see open roles right now, go to visa sponsorship jobs.
What “visa sponsorship” means in Poland
On this board, “visa sponsorship” means the employer does the steps only an employer can do, and often pays for help with the rest.
The employer:
- applies for your work permit online through praca.gov.pl, if you’re using the work permit route (Zielona Linia); or
- completes and electronically signs Annex 1 to your residence permit application in the MOS portal. This is needed for the EU Blue Card and the temporary residence and work permit. It confirms your job, salary and health insurance (Wielkopolska Voivode’s Office).
The Office for Foreigners warns that waiting for the employer’s signature on Annex 1 can take a long time (Office for Foreigners). An employer that sponsors regularly will have a process for this.
For the full process, fees and timelines, read our EU Blue Card and work permit guide.
How we decide a company sponsors visas
We only mark a company as sponsoring visas when we have evidence. For each company we record one of four levels:
- Verified: a job ad, careers page or other public page from the company says it supports visas or work permits. We keep the link.
- Likely: the company regularly hires from abroad or mentions relocation, but doesn’t say “visa” directly.
- Unknown: we couldn’t tell.
- No: the company says it can’t sponsor, or asks for an existing EU work permit.
This page only lists verified companies. We also check each job ad on its own. A company that sponsors in general may still post a role that needs an existing right to work in the EU.

Questions to ask before you accept an offer
Sponsorship can mean very different things. Ask the recruiter:
- Which permit will you use? EU Blue Card, a work permit and national visa, or a single permit? Our visa guide explains the differences.
- Does my salary meet the Blue Card threshold? If the company plans a Blue Card, check the offer against the current minimum. Remember that thresholds are gross.
- Who pays the fees? This covers application fees, the residence card, sworn translations and any immigration lawyer.
- Who does the paperwork? Some companies use an immigration firm. Others expect you to fill in the forms yourself.
- Is the offer an employment contract or B2B? Your permit may depend on it. Most non-EU citizens can’t register a sole-trader business on a standard work-based permit. See the tax guide.
- Is there relocation support? Ask about flights, temporary housing, help registering your address and help for your family.
- Can I start remotely while the permit is processed? Some companies allow this. Others need you to wait.
Get the answers in writing, ideally in your offer letter.
Tips for applying from abroad
- Filter for jobs you can apply for from abroad, and look for the visa sponsorship badge on each job.
- Put “Requires visa sponsorship” and your nationality near the top of your CV. It saves everyone time.
- Check city pages for Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław. Each shows the share of current jobs that offer sponsorship.
- Prepare documents early: degree certificates, reference letters that prove your experience, and passport scans.
Frequently asked questions
What does an employer do to sponsor a visa in Poland?
The employer does the steps only an employer can do. On the work permit route, it applies online through praca.gov.pl. For the EU Blue Card or a single permit, it completes and electronically signs Annex 1 in the MOS portal, confirming your job, salary and health insurance. It often pays for help with the rest.
How do I find companies that sponsor visas in Poland?
Start with the verified list on this page and the visa sponsorship jobs page. If you’re abroad, filter for jobs you can apply for from abroad and look for the visa sponsorship badge. Even at a sponsoring company, check each ad, because some roles need an existing right to work in the EU.
Who pays the visa and permit fees in Poland?
It depends on the employer, so ask before you accept. Costs can include application fees, the residence card, sworn translations and an immigration lawyer. Some companies use an immigration firm, while others expect you to fill in the forms yourself. Get the answers in writing, ideally in your offer letter.
Can I work on a B2B contract with a sponsored work permit?
Usually not. Most non-EU citizens can’t register a sole-trader business on a standard work-based permit, so your permit may depend on your contract type. Ask whether the offer is an employment contract or B2B before you accept. Our tax guide explains which residence statuses allow B2B work.
Can I start working remotely while my Polish permit is processed?
Some companies allow it and others need you to wait, so ask the recruiter before you accept. The Office for Foreigners warns that waiting for the employer to sign Annex 1 in MOS can take a long time. An employer that sponsors regularly should have a process for this.
