Employer-sponsored seasonal work visa for non-EU nationals in agriculture, hospitality, and tourism for up to 9 months.
The Polish D-05b National Visa authorizes temporary work for non-EU nationals in Poland's seasonal sectors—agriculture, hospitality, and tourism. Established under the Polish Act on Foreigners, it streamlines entry without complex labor market testing, bridging short-term Schengen visas and permanent residency.
Applicants receive work authorization for stays up to nine months within a calendar year. A 135 EUR fee applies; applicants must also provide €30,000 medical insurance and a work permit from a Polish employer. Processing typically takes 15–45 calendar days.
This visa is ideal for non-EU nationals seeking seasonal employment in agriculture or tourism who have secured a work permit from a Polish employer and can demonstrate sufficient financial resources.
