Poland to Offer New Work Visa Opportunities for Pakistani Workers
Poland is becoming an attractive country for Pakistanis who want to work in Europe. Recently, both Pakistan and Poland agreed to increase cooperation in employment and trade. This step is expected to create new legal job opportunities for Pakistani workers in Poland.
Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis, Chaudhry Salik Hussain, met the Polish Ambassador to Pakistan, Maciej Pisarski, in Islamabad. During this meeting, the two sides discussed how Pakistanis could be hired for different jobs in Poland, while also focusing on trade and preventing illegal immigration.
Strong Trade Ties
The minister stated that Pakistan exported goods worth nearly $450 million to Poland last year. The main sectors were:
- Textiles 🧵
- Leather đź‘ž
- Sports goods 🏏⚽
These industries show that Pakistan and Poland already share strong business connections. With this base, the cooperation in manpower export will further strengthen relations between the two nations.
Poland’s Assurance
The Polish ambassador expressed his condolences for the loss caused by floods in Pakistan. He also said that Poland is ready to welcome Pakistani workers but under a legal and safe migration system. He emphasized that strong measures are being taken to stop illegal immigration, so that only genuine and skilled workers benefit.
Upcoming Agreements
Poland’s Foreign Minister is scheduled to visit Pakistan in October 2025. During this visit, both countries will sign several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). These agreements will help create structured programs for Pakistani workers to legally move to Poland for jobs in different sectors like agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and services.
Pakistan’s Workforce Abroad
According to Minister Hussain, in just one year, around 742,000 Pakistanis went abroad for employment. Pakistan is now the 4th largest country in the world for exporting its workforce. He also said that pilot projects with Korea and Japan are already working successfully, and Poland can become another strong partner in this field.
Conclusion
The new cooperation between Pakistan and Poland is a positive step for both nations. Poland needs foreign workers, while Pakistan has a large young workforce seeking opportunities abroad. If agreements are signed in October, thousands of Pakistanis may soon find jobs in Poland legally. This partnership will not only improve employment but also strengthen Pakistan’s economy through remittances .
