Insurance for work in Poland

A Ukrainian who wants to be hired by a Polish employer needs insurance to work in Poland. The document must meet certain rules so that the person wishing to work abroad is issued a work visa.

Why do you need travel insurance for work?

Any European employer pays part of the employee's medical insurance. The second part is paid by the employee himself from his salary. This is a law that cannot be changed.

It takes some time to obtain insurance for a work visa to Poland, during which an insured event may occur. If it takes place, and travelers do not have a policy, they will have to pay all medical expenses from their own funds.

International regulations stipulate that in order to obtain a work visa to Poland, insurance for traveling abroad to work in Poland must be issued.

How to apply for such insurance?

The policy is issued in the office or from home online. The electronic and paper versions of the document have the same legal force and are accepted by all authorities, embassies and consulates.

Remember that the document must comply with certain rules in order for you to be issued a work visa. Mandatory guarantee of reimbursement of expenses for:

• emergency care;
• work-related injuries;
• transportation to clinics or hospitals;
• if treatment abroad is impossible - return to the homeland.

Be sure to take this into account and include all these insurance cases in the contract. The minimum coverage increases to 50,000 euros, at the same time the cost of the final product increases. However, such rules - if you neglect them, you will be denied a work visa.

Procedure for seeking medical care

In case of poor health, you should contact the insurance agent by calling the numbers indicated on the policy form. The specialist will tell you the clinic where you need to go and arrange an appointment. Alternatively, he can take on all the necessary negotiations with the clinic, and you will only have to come to the doctor's appointment at the appointed time.

This rule can be ignored if your well-being has deteriorated suddenly and sharply. After providing medical assistance, the traveler should contact the insurance agent and inform him of the event.

If this rule is ignored, compensation may be refused.
