Information on the principles of applying for visas by foreigners intending to practice as a doctor, dentist, nurse, obstetrician or paramedic in the territory of the Republic of Poland

From 30/12/2020, regulations are in force that allow - under new additional principles - to work in Poland by:

  • doctors,
  • dentists,
  • nurses,
  • obstetricians,
  • paramedics,

who obtained qualifications to practice their professions in non-EU states.

Proceedings on granting consent to perform work in Poland in the above-mentioned professions will be simplified and the procedure will be significantly shortened.

Doctor or dentist who obtained professional qualifications outside the EU and meets the following conditions:

1. has a doctor's or dentist's diploma confirming completion of at least 5-year studies,

2. has full legal capacity (the document confirming the fulfillment of the condition will be a hand-signed statement made by doctor/dentist),

3. demonstrates an appropriate state of health (the document confirming the fulfillment of the condition will be an relevant certificate from a doctor authorized to conduct medical examinations of employees),

4. demonstrates an impeccable ethical attitude (the document confirming the fulfillment of the condition will be a hand-signed statement made by doctor/dentist),

will be able to apply for a consent from the Minister of Health to practice the profession of a doctor or dentist in Poland and to apply to a regional medical authority for the conditional right to practice as a doctor or dentist in connection with the announcement of state of the epidemic. Obtaining the consent of the Minister of Health will be the basis for visa application to perform work in the territory of the Republic of Poland.

Doctor or dentist who has obtained the conditional right to practice in Poland will not be able to practice in Poland outside of a healthcare facility intended to provide health services to patients suffering from COVID-19 - unless they obtain additional consent from the Minister of Health. Doctor will be obliged to work under the supervision of a tutor who is a doctor with a 2nd degree specialization or has the title of specialist.

The conditional right to practice as a doctor or dentist shall be valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance and shall expire in the cases specified in the Act. It will not be possible to extend this right for another period, nor to issue a new license to practice a profession on the same conditions after 5 years from the date of its issuance. After this period, doctor or dentist will be able to practice in Poland having met the requirements specified in other regulations, i.e. only after the validation of the diploma or passing the Medical Verification Examination organized by the Medical Examinations Center in Łódź, completion or recognition of the postgraduate internship, passing the Final Medical Examination.
