Poland Schengen Visa Application Requirements

 Depending on the purpose of your travel to Poland, there are different types of visas that will apply to the occasion.


Whether you are planning to go on a visit, study or work and reside in Poland permanently, you will have to apply for a different Polish Schengen Visa, accordingly.

You can apply for the Polish Schengen Visa since 2007 when Poland as a Member State of the European Union also became a member state of the Schengen Area.
