Poland National Visa

Poland National Visa

If you are planning to visit Poland for more than 90 days (at least 91 days) during one or more visits within a 180-day period calculated from the date of first entry, you need to apply for a National Visa for Poland (D-type).

The Poland National Visa will enable you to do the following:

  • Stay in the territory of Poland throughout the period of its validity
  • Move within the territory of other Schengen states for up to three months within a 180-day period.
