Working Holiday in Poland for Argentines (2026)
Requirements, application steps and travel preparation.
Step 1
Check requirements and prepare your language skills
Passport and nationality
Argentine passport + 3 months
Habitual residence in Argentina. Passport issued within the last ten years, two blank pages and validity at least three months beyond the intended stay.
References: ARPL1
Language requirement
A mandatory test is not confirmed here. Polish can help with paperwork and conversations; it does not guarantee employment.
References: ARPL1
Explore Polish courses →Documents and previous participation
First participation, no dependants
Printed signed e-konsulat form, two photos, residence evidence, purpose declaration, apostilled police certificate and funds, housing and insurance evidence. Confirm the police-certificate issuer and translations with the consulate.
Three separate budget items
Separate monthly living funds, full-stay accommodation and departure. Meeting the monthly minimum does not automatically cover the other two.
References: ARPL1
Prepare the fuller document set
The programme list asks for two photos and apostilled police evidence. Prepare both even though general guidance is shorter. Its reference to a Civil Registry and Identification authority needs clarification for an Argentine applicant: confirm the issuing body before ordering it.
Language courses · commercial service
Prepare your language skills before travelling.
Through ViveCampus, you can get quotes for language courses with international-student discounts. Offers may vary by your country of origin and destination. Request a personalized quote to confirm available discounts and the final price. Booking a course does not guarantee a visa.
Step 2
Apply for the Working Holiday visa
Annual quota
400 per year
The ministry states 400 for each party to the agreement, not remaining places.
References: ARPL3
Application dates
Book through e-konsulat. General guidance says at least two weeks before travel, but examination can take longer: do not wait until that minimum.
Visa fee
USD 235
The embassy’s published national D fee, payable in US-dollar cash when filing. Confirm the current amount; refusal does not make it refundable.
References: ARPL2
How to prepare your application
Use e-konsulat to complete and print the form and book an appointment; file personally in Buenos Aires. The programme has its own documents and funds requirements alongside general national D instructions.
- Check requirements and confirm documents and translations with the consulate.
- Complete and print the e-konsulat form, then book through the official channel.
- Attend personally in Buenos Aires with your application and the stated payment.
- Wait for the decision; check validity start and end before arranging travel.
National D guidance states 15 working days from payment, potentially extended to 30 days for detailed examination. Appointment waiting time is separate and no travel date is guaranteed. ARPL2

Frequently asked questions
Does the online form submit my application?
No. Complete and print the e-konsulat form, then attend personally in Buenos Aires by appointment.
What living and return funds are required?
Guidance requires PLN 776 per month plus accommodation for the whole stay and a return ticket or PLN 2,500 to buy one. This is not one all-inclusive amount.
How many photographs should I bring?
Prepare two 35 × 45 mm photographs following the programme-specific list, alongside the form and required originals.
References: ARPL1
Is work counted per employer?
No: the published limit is six months of work in total. Changing employer does not restart it.
Does the visa start when I arrive?
Check the printed dates: validity runs from the visa start date. Arriving later does not automatically postpone expiry.
References: ARPL3
Can I register my address online?
General guidance excludes online filing for foreigners without EU/EFTA or family status. Without a PESEL, attend the municipality personally with the required documents.
