Step 2
Apply for the visa

- Prepare passport, photo, funds and requested police evidence; confirm treaty exceptions, translation and authentication.
- Apply from abroad through Tratados Internacionales → Working Holiday and keep the receipt. The application alone is not permission to work.
- After a decision, check electronic-permit download and entry deadlines and identity-card obligations.
Step 3

Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
Prepare your trip
General SERMIG guidance covers police evidence from the origin country or country of residence over the past five years, no more than 60 days old, and Spanish/English or accepted translations. Check treaty exceptions before apostille/legalisation. A Polish-route funds amount is not confirmed here.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.

The agreement emphasises holidays, language and culture; work is secondary. Check the grant conditions before employment.
What amount and documents are needed?
Prepare maintenance and departure evidence; a Polish amount needs confirmation. General SERMIG documents may have treaty exceptions; confirm them before paid translations.
When must I download the permit and enter?
For a grant abroad:120 working days to download the electronic permit, then 90 calendar days to enter. Check the individual notice.
Must I register with PDI?
The old registration does not apply to grants after 12 February 2022. Book an identity-card appointment within 30 days of entry.
Does applying allow me to work?
Not by itself. Check the granted status, entry and work conditions; a form-submission receipt is not employment permission.
