Poland: Student Visa Application Updates

Key Points  

  • Poland introduced additional verification measures when it comes to documents submitted for a student visa application  

Overview  

The government of Poland introduced additional measures to verify the creditability of student visa applications. As a result, foreign national students must provide proof and verification of holding a secondary school certificate issued by an academic university abroad.  

To apply for a student visa, the applicant must:  

  • Submit their high school qualifications (secondary school certificates) for approval from the relevant Polish regional education authority and a document confirming the right to admission to a Polish university.  
  • Documents issued within EU or OECD member states and international certificates will be recognized automatically.
    • For example, the International Baccalaureate and the European Baccalaureate.
