Information about visa and residence 

For concrete information and advise about visa and residence you can visit the Polish Embassy or Consulate in your country. They will help you with the proper formalities for entering France.

Students coming from EEA Member States (EU + Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) don't need to apply for a visa. Upon arrival in Poland they should apply for a temporary residence permit if they stay in the country longer then 90 days.

Other students should apply for a "Student Visa". It is important to remember that visas are granted for a maximum of three months. In order to extend your stay, you should apply for a residence permit 45 days before your visa expires. For further assistance you should contact the International Relations Office of your university. More information about the visa procedures can be found on http://www.msz.gov.pl/Consular,Information,2345.html.
