How much you take home

Enter a gross annual salary above to see an estimate of the net pay.

Do you need a visa?

No. An EU citizen (or a citizen of the EEA or Switzerland) can work in Poland on the same terms as a Polish citizen.

  • If you stay more than 3 months, you must register your residence at the voivode's office (provincial government), in person, by the day after the 3 months end. It is free (migrant.info.pl).
  • This is different from registering your address at the municipality.

Documents and where to get them

In your country, before you leave

  • ID card or passport, valid for the whole move.
  • European Health Insurance Card, from your national health insurance: it covers necessary care in the first weeks, until you are insured in the new country.
  • Birth certificate (and marriage certificate, if married). Between EU countries, many certificates need no apostille and can come with a multilingual form that avoids translation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1191).
  • Criminal record certificate from your country of nationality and, if different, from where you lived recently: some employers ask for it. Request it close to the date it will be used.
  • Degree, transcript and references from previous jobs, digitally.

In Poland

  • PESEL (identification number): requested at the municipality; many employers, banks and health services ask for it.
  • Lease: for the residence registration and the PESEL.
  • Public health insurance (NFZ): the employer registers you with social security (ZUS).

Step by step

Before you leave

  1. Sign the contract and confirm in writing the gross annual salary (in złoty or euros) and the contract type: employment contract (umowa o pracę) or B2B, which changes the deductions. The plan estimates the net in euros for an employment contract.
  2. Find housing.
  3. In your country, tell the authorities you are moving: update your registered address and your tax residence. In the year you leave, tax may be due for the part of the year you were still resident.

First week

  1. Apply for your PESEL at the municipality.
  2. Open a bank account.

First month

  1. Register your residence at the voivode's office before 3 months have passed.
  2. Check the contributions (ZUS) and tax on your payslip.
