Workers from Vietnam.
Welding, electronics and manufacturing

Yes. Vietnam is not covered by the simplified declaration procedure, so a type A work permit issued by the voivode is required, followed by a national D visa obtained at the Polish Embassy in Hanoi or the Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.

Realistically 4 to 6 months from contract signature to the first day at work. The labour market test and type A permit usually take 6 to 10 weeks, DOLAB clearance and document preparation another 4 to 6 weeks, and the visa procedure 6 to 10 weeks. Consular slots in Hanoi can be distant, so we book them in advance.

DOLAB (Department of Overseas Labour) is the Vietnamese authority supervising overseas employment. The contract and employment terms must be registered by a licensed sending partner. It is an extra stage that other origins do not have, but it also guarantees the candidate leaves legally and free of debt to informal brokers.

In most cases yes, and the starosta issues a statement confirming that local recruitment was not possible. Exemptions apply to occupations on the regional shortage list, which often includes welders and machine operators. We check this at the very start because it drives the schedule.

Vietnamese is the native language. English is workable among technicians and staff from electronics plants, weaker among production workers. For larger groups the standard solution is an English-speaking crew leader plus workstation instructions translated into Vietnamese.

Vietnam is one of Asia's strongest welding markets, with shipyards in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh working to international standards. We verify certificates on paper, arrange welding coupons with VT assessment before departure, and complete the EN ISO 9606-1 examination after arrival in Poland.

Welding and shipbuilding, electronics and precision assembly, industrial manufacturing, food and seafood processing, furniture and garment production. Vietnam is a global manufacturing hub, so candidates already work to quality regimes and output standards.

This is the lowest-turnover origin in our portfolio. Candidates are disciplined, punctual and focused on a long contract, usually with a financial goal for their family. They value clear hierarchy, concrete instructions and a stable roster, and treat overtime as an advantage of the offer.

Yes. Vietnamese people form one of the largest and oldest Asian communities in Poland, present for decades. That makes adaptation genuinely easier: available food products, community support and interpreters in larger cities.

Accommodation provided by the employer or the agency is the standard. We arrange flights from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, airport transfer, housing that meets sanitary requirements, registration of residence, a PESEL number and a bank account.

A type A permit is usually issued for up to three years and can be extended. After arrival the worker can apply for a single permit for residence and work, which secures continuity of employment without leaving Poland.

The budget consists of official fees in Poland, visa and service fees, DOLAB handling and translations, flights and relocation, onboarding after arrival and the agency fee. We prepare the quote for a specific role and headcount, with no hidden items.
