VISA REOUIREMENTS:

• European Union and European Economic Area students do not need a Polish visa to study in Poland.They should apply to the Governor of Varmia and Masuria for a temporary residence permit. This has to be soon after arrival in Poland if their stay is longer than 90 days. An EU student can enter Poland with his/her ID document (a valid travel document e.g. passport, or another document certifying his/her identity and citizenship).

• Students from outside the EU/EEA need to arrive in Poland with a student visa obtained at a Polish Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence. A short-term visa entitles the holder to stay in Poland for up to 3 months, a long-term visa for up to 1 year. All students have to legalize their stay in Poland by applying for a temporary residence permit. This has to be done a short time after arrival in Poland. 45 days before your visa expiration date you must apply for a residence permit at the Varmia and Masuria Government office.
