What documents are generally required for a work visa?

Question

What should I prepare for a Polish national (D) work visa application?

## Short answer
Commonly: a completed application form, valid passport, biometric photo, a work permit or work-authorization document (or confirmation your employer has one in progress), proof of accommodation, and travel medical insurance meeting the visa's minimum coverage requirement.

## What this depends on
This is the CONSULAR visa-application stage. It's distinct from the temporary residence-and-work PERMIT process handled by a voivode once you're already in Poland -- don't confuse the two, they're different authorities and different stages.

## Official source
Polish consular D-visa guidance pages (gov.pl, multiple posts, corroborated).
