# Poland Visa - Definitive Guide

Caught in the middle of one of the worst wars in the history of mankind, WWII, Poland managed to survive it heroically and has ever since, risen to become one of the top countries in the world. Be it for tourism, business, or even work, the Poland visa allows you to enter the country.

### What is Poland Visa?

The Polish permit is an endorsement required to enter the country for whatever purpose it may be. Issued as single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry, this permit is only required if you are not a national of other Schengen countries or the visa-exempt nations. Since India does not come under this, to enter Poland, you would need a Poland visa from India.

### How to Apply for Poland Visa?

The Poland visa application from India has to be done at a diplomatic mission of Poland. The Polish government has not outsourced the application process. To ease up the process, the application has to be done online. Before starting the application, you must check if you are eligible to apply for the particular type of the permit. After this, you can proceed to make the online visa application for Poland from India as follows -

1. Obtain all the documents you will require for the application process.
2. Visit the ‘e-Konsulat’ application portal of the Polish Ministry of foreign affairs.
3. Select the respective country and mission as per your jurisdiction.
4. Proceed to choose between ‘Schengen visa’ and the ‘national visa’ as per your requirement. Note that both these have different application forms.
5. Register your account and proceed to select the appointment time and date at the respective Polish mission.
6. You must now fill in the Poland online visa application form with all the relevant details.
7. After completing this, you must print the confirmation page and the completed application form.
8. With the confirmation page, completed application form, and the documents visit the respective mission for your appointment. You will have to provide your biometrics here as well. Also, you will be subjected to a short interview.

Note that if you have travelled to the Schengen region in the past 2 years, or you are applying for a business visa, or you are a tourist travelling as a part of an organized group, you may submit the application through a third party (as long as they have an authorization letter). In all other cases, you will have to submit the application in person.

Ensure that you submit only genuine documents and correct information. Providing false information or fake documents can lead to Schengen visa rejection.
