Visa / permanent residency card procedures
All foreign students are obliged to apply for a student visa, which can be issued at the Embassies or Consulates of the Republic of Poland situated on the territory of their native countries.
Upon arrival to Poland without visa all foreign students are required to arrange their Residency Permit Card formalities immediately.
