Cost FAQ
Net fee per person: unskilled worker €450, skilled worker (welders included) €1,000, category C / C+E driver €1,500. Drivers from the Philippines (B, C, C+E counted together): 5–9 people €1,700, 10–19 €1,600, 20+ €1,500 per person – the band rate applies to the whole group; below 5 individual quote. Specialist roles are quoted individually. 23% VAT is added.
The recruitment fee is paid in two equal instalments: 50% after the visa is issued and 50% after the worker has actually worked 30 days (for drivers – 30 days on the road). Instalments do not include accreditation or permit fees.
Accreditation is a one-off €700 net per employer/project, billed separately after the agreement – regardless of the number of roles. If you already hold accreditation, a consultant confirms its validity.
The calculator shows agency services and the official type A work permit fee (PLN 400 per person for work for a Polish employer longer than 3 months – not every case requires it). It excludes flights, visas, translations and accommodation, so it is not a full employment budget.
Timelines are indicative and depend on the country. For the Philippines it is usually around 3–6 months from accreditation, with no guaranteed date.
