Short Term Polish Schengen Visa

Visas might be single-entry, dual-entry and multiple-entry visas. An alien may be issued a Schengen visa with limited territorial Visa validity. The visa fee and cost of the procedure vary depending on the type of visa the client needs.

In order to get a Schengen short-stay visa (C) you have to submit your valid passport and copies of your previously received visas to Poland. Note, that the passport must be valid for minimal period of 3 months after the expected return date. Moreover, a proof of sufficient financial means during the period of stay in Poland or legitimate source for receiving it is also required. Among other necessary documents, a hotel reservation for the whole period of the expected stay in the Polish Republic is required. Plesae do not forget to present your flight ticket with flight number and dates specifying entry and exit from the country.

Intending to enter the Republic of Poland for many times, the documents proving the necessity for multiple entries must be submitted. A national visa for a single entry (D) shall be issued to an alien, who has been granted a permit of temporary or permanent residence in the Republic of Poland by the Migration Department under the Ministry of the Interior. A national visa for multiple entries (D) shall be issued if an alien submits the documents proving that he/she intends to enter the Republic of Poland periodically and while his/her main place of residence is in a foreign state and there is no requirement for an alien to get a temporary residence permit in the Republic of Poland.

Among other cases, the Polish business visa may be issued to an alien who periodically comes to the Republic of Poland to work or engage in any other lawful activity and whose main place of residence is in a foreign state. In this case, the visa (D) is issued for a period not exceeding one year.

Where visas are issued?

When filing a visa application or applying for a visa extension, it is necessary to indicate the expected duration of stay in Poland, i.e. to determine the term of visa validity. A foreigner should apply for a Schengen or national visa to the relevant body, i.e. either to a diplomatic mission or a consular post of the Republic of Poland abroad. Or, a foreigner can apply for a visa to a diplomatic mission or a consular post of another Schengen State representing the Republic of Poland abroad. If visiting several Schengen countries, a foreigner must apply at the embassy or consulate of his main destination or of the country he visits first if duration of visiting countries is similar.

Refusal to Issue a visa

Sometimes due to some reasons, the Embassy does not issue you a Polish business visa. If this is your case and you think that the Embassy‘s decision is not motivated and you meet all the requirements established by laws to get a business visa, we may provide you assistance with Polish business visa as well as with preparing procedural documents and initiating legal procedure against the Embassy. The appeal letter goes to the Embassy where the case is being examined. Additional documents submitted by the applicant should be considered in conjunction with those sent previously. The visa department of the Polish Embassy can contact the applicant to clarify the data and / or request for new ones. In case of a positive decision, the applicant is invited to an interview with the Embassy. If the decision is negative, the applicant is notified about this letter indicating both the reasons for refusing to review the case and the general reasons for refusing to issue a visa.

However, if the refusal to issue a Polish business visa is obtained with the requirement of an additional interview or information, then it is logical to fulfil these requirements. The cost of the procedure of appeal is agreed with the client individually. Knowledge of law allows us manage these procedures successfully – we have our own know-how methods and we consider each case in a responsible and flexible way.
