USA Tourist Visa Application for IT Professionals in Poland

Visa Agency — the #1 visa service provider

Applying for a US tourist visa for IT professionals in Poland is one of the most highly demanded services among citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Georgia, and other countries who reside in the republic or travel here specifically to submit documents. Thanks to the flexible appointment procedure, many specialists from the Tech sector consider this location as the most convenient point to obtain an entry permit to the United States.

What is the purpose of a US tourist
visa for IT professionals?

The B1/B2 tourist visa is suitable for IT professionals planning short-term trips to the US without employment. It does not grant the right to work for American companies, but it allows you to:

  • attend technological conferences, gatherings, and specialized IT events;
  • participate in meetings with potential clients or partners without receiving income in the US;
  • take short-term courses, attend presentations and educational events;
  • travel, explore the market and infrastructure of IT clusters;
  • visit relatives, friends, and former colleagues;
  • negotiate future employment with a subsequent transition to a work visa type.

The process of obtaining a US tourist visa for IT professionals in Poland is in high demand among tech workers due to the ability to choose a more flexible interview schedule and the simultaneous availability of multiple consular locations.

Who can apply for a US tourist visa for
IT professionals in Poland?

IT professionals who have legal residence status in Poland, as well as residents of other countries, can apply for a US tourist visa here. To minimize the risk of refusal, it is important to provide one of the following documents:

  • D Visa (national) — work, student, humanitarian, etc.
  • Temporary residence card (Karta czasowego pobytu).
  • Permanent residence card (Karta stałego pobytu).
  • Visa-free travel for Ukrainians and other nationalities, provided the duration of stay is confirmed by stamps and entry documents.
  • Student status confirmed by a Polish university.
  • Employment status confirmed by an employment contract (Umowa o pracę) or a mandate contract (Umowa zlecenie).
  • An active Schengen visa.

Applying is also possible if the IT professional is temporarily staying in Poland on the basis of a Polish visa or other EU documents that grant the right to legal stay in the country.
