-
Family Reunion: You have the opportunity to bring dependents (spouse and children).
-
Permanent Residency: You can apply for permanent residence after settling and working for a specific number of years.

Ease of Access: It is significantly easier to get a work permit in Poland compared to many Western European countries. Once you are in Europe, transitioning to other countries later becomes much easier.
Alternative: Direct Application
If you prefer not to use an agency, you can try applying directly to Polish employers. However, keep in mind that the Polish government often prefers working with agencies because they handle the heavy administrative lifting.
