Ensure your passport or national ID card is valid for the duration of your stay in Poland.
If you plan to stay in Poland for more than three months, you must register your residence with the local Voivodeship Office (Wojewódzki Urząd) within 90 days of your arrival. You will receive a certificate of registration.
You must have health insurance coverage in Poland. If you are employed, you will be covered by the Polish National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia, NFZ). You can also apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before moving, which provides temporary health coverage. Alternatively, you can get private health insurance if you are not employed or want additional coverage.
As an EU citizen, you do not need a work permit to work in Poland. Employers may ask for proof of identity and your registration certificate.
Arrange accommodation before or soon after your arrival. The housing market can be competitive, particularly in larger cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw, so it’s advisable to start looking early.
Opening a Polish bank account is recommended for salary payments and everyday transactions. You will need a valid ID, proof of address, and sometimes proof of employment to open an account.
You will need a tax identification number for various administrative processes in Poland, including opening a bank account, signing a lease, and employment. You can obtain it from the local tax office (Urząd Skarbowy).
While many Poles speak English, proficiency in Polish is highly beneficial for daily life, integration, and job opportunities.
