    Visa Requirements

    All foreigners (EU and non-EU) need to legalize their stay in Poland. There are several possibilities, depending on the purpose and period of visit. A visa or Schengen visa is required to visit Poland. If you plan to immigrate to Europe and reside in Poland for a long period – you need a residence permit, which can be acquired on the grounds of getting an education. Third-country citizens holding long-term visas may stay in the Republic of Poland for more than 90 days and they should apply for a residence permit.

    The Republic of Poland is a member state of the Schengen area. Countries of the Schengen Agreement have abolished passport and immigration control at their common borders and for travel between their member states. Member countries also recognize Schengen visas issued by other Schengen states. On the outer border, or upon first entry to the Schengen area, normal immigration control procedures apply, however admission to any Schengen country is considered admission to the whole Schengen area (all member countries), with no further immigration checks needed.

    Foreigner’s legality of stay on Polish territory may be checked and it consists of requesting the foreigner to present documents or permits authorizing him to stay in Poland, the financial means necessary to cover the costs of the stay, and documents confirming the fact of having health insurance.

    Institutions authorized to carry out this kind of control are:

    • Officers of the Customs Service
    • Border Guard Service officers
    • Police officers
    • Authorised employees of the Office for Foreigners
    • Authorized employees of the Voivodeship Office

    Visa Extension

    Please remember that the final list of requirements and necessary documents may be changed by the administrative bodies and before you apply for a visa extension you should always consult a particular office for information.

    The validity period of the Schengen visa for foreigners residing on the territory of the Republic of Poland issued by the Polish authority or the authority of another Schengen state, valid also on the territory of Poland, can be extended as well as the length of stay covered by this visa, if presented proof of important reasons justifying the extension of the validity period or the period of stay.

    A foreigner who intends to extend the period of their residence based on the Schengen visa shall submit a filled application form for the extension of a visa and the additional documents listed below to the voivodeship office with jurisdiction over the foreigner’s place of residence, no later than on the day of expiration of the period of legal residence on the territory of the Republic of Poland. The extension of a visa for important personal reasons is subject to a stamp duty in the amount of the equivalent of 30 euros. The document is issued within one month.

    Necessary documents:

    • Application form completed by the provided information
    • 1 photograph
    • Photocopy of a valid travel document (original available for inspection).
    • Document that confirms the reason for visa extension (confirmation of your student status).

    Scholarships and Funding

    Poland offers scholarships to students through the government, various foundations, and the universities themselves. They are available to students of Polish origin including disabled applicants as well as to international students both from within the EU itself and from countries outside the EU. The high number of institutions that offer scholarships and their fluid availability make the situation in the country unique.

    Scholarships within bilateral agreements

    Financed by the Polish government or its foreign partner. The amount of scholarship is dependent on the type of study. It is also advisable to check with local authorities if they have a scholarship program that includes studies in Poland. It’s worth checking with local authorities if they have a scholarship.

    CEEPUS exchange program – The program involves 16 Central and Eastern European countries whose exchange students are exempt from paying tuition fees plus grants funded by the hosting country.

    Eastern Partnership and Post-Soviet countries scholarships – these scholarships are offered especially to Belarusian students for BA, MA, and PhD studies and are funded by the Konstanty Kalinowski Foundation.

    Scholarships for citizens from developing countries – These scholarships assist students at the Ph.D. level of studies in technical fields in Poland. They are funded by the Polish government.

    Visegrad Scholarship Programme – These are 1-4 semester scholarships for Master's and Post-Master degrees. The program is administered by the heads of the International Visegrad Fund.

    How to get a scholarship

    Foreign students who hold a Card of a Pole will qualify for some scholarships. Other foreign students living in Poland on a temporary residence permit or a visa are not eligible unless they or their family members fulfill the required provisions of Polish law. Students have to pursue study at an academic level in Poland. But first of all, students must complete a second-level education and have a leaving certificate for entrance into a university institution. An equivalent leaving certificate or diploma does not automatically qualify students to apply for a scholarship. Nostrification must be followed to establish the authenticity of certificates or diplomas by issuing countries and compliance with Polish law. Students must have a valid visa and a medical check-up before entering Poland.
