Checks before you apply
A D visa concerns entry and stay in Poland. Driving licences, professional qualifications and international transport requirements must be checked separately with the employer. The visa process does not promise a job, salary or permission for every route.
Preparing your document file
Use this list for an initial review. Submission requires the current checklist from the relevant consulate or authority, taking account of nationality and country of residence.
- Compare passport details and check your eligibility to apply in the chosen country.
- Check the current form and requirements for photographs, translations and the submission method.
- Employment authorisation and a contract with the transport company.
- Consistent driver job details, workplace and dates; qualification documents if requested.
Getting started with EUROWIZA
- Tell EUROWIZA your destination, purpose, nationality, country of lawful residence and intended dates.
- Clarify the available assistance and document list; agree on the service scope and price before paying.
- Compare the completed file with the official instructions. Keep appointment, payment and submission confirmations.
Planning time and costs
First check available appointments and the authority’s published processing times. Allow time to collect documents, obtain translations and address further requests. Confirm EUROWIZA service charges separately from government fees, insurance and other expenses. The competent authority decides the application; preparing documents does not guarantee issuance by a particular date.
Questions and answers
Does the visa replace driver qualification documents?
No. Immigration documents and professional qualifications serve different purposes. The employer must check the requirements for the specific transport activity.
Can a Polish visa be used to work in another EU country?
Short Schengen travel and permission to work in another country are separate matters. Transport operations also require checks of route and posting rules.
