I want to find a job in Poland, Germany, or the Czech Republic. Where should I look?
The holiday and seasonal work season is approaching, and many people are thinking about earning extra money abroad. It can be a temporary or long-term job, but any work trip abroad should be taken seriously. We'll tell you where to go for legal employment using the most popular destinations as examples: Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
For legal employment in Poland, the Czech Republic, or Germany, first of all, you need to find an employer. You can do this on your own or by contacting the relevant agency (these can be legal entities or individual entrepreneurs). The list of persons authorized to provide such services is available on the Ministry of Internal Affairs website. You can view it here.
Most of these services are paid, so it's better to clarify the cost in advance.
You can also call the hotline of the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus. They can give you the phone numbers of those legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who have a license to employ Belarusian citizens abroad, phone: 8 017 218 52 64. Hint: you need to ask which licensed companies employ people in any of the countries that interest you.
If you still decide to look for a job on your own, keep in mind that you need to obtain a national work visa to work abroad. You can officially work in Poland, the Czech Republic, or Germany only with a work visa, not with any other visa (tourist, visitor, etc.). You can also only work for the employer who will be listed in the job invitation. Here you can read more about employment in Poland.
In order for a foreigner to be able to work in the Czech Republic, you need to obtain a work permit (Povolení k zaměstnání) from the Ministry of Labor and open a work visa (short-term visa (up to 90 days) or long-term visa (more than 90 days) or long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment) at the Czech embassy in Belarus. You can look for vacancies in the Czech Republic on the official website of the Czech Ministry of Labor.
You can also try to find a job in Germany yourself – you need an official invitation from an employer to get a work visa. After you receive it, you apply for a work permit and a visa to Germany. Then the embassy sends your application (for approval or rejection) to the German Foreign Ministry. If approved, the German Embassy in the Republic of Belarus will issue a visa and official permission. A work permit is required to work!
Important point: a work visa (work permit) is a document that guarantees a foreigner all the rights and social benefits that citizens of the respective country have.
Be careful when choosing a job abroad! Check your employer. Ask any questions you have right away. Before you leave, consult with a specialist from the hotline for safe travel abroad. Take care of yourself and your life.
