FAQs

Common questions about Poland.

Starting 2025/26, students (especially PG) must submit a 'Recognition Statement' for their previous diploma via the NAWA Syrena system. This is now mandatory for final acceptance.

Universities accept MOI (Medium of Instruction) for admission. HOWEVER, for the Visa Interview, the Consulate often demands an IELTS/TOEFL score. Applying with only MOI is considered 'Risky' for the D-Type visa.

Yes, but at 50%. You need 5 years of residence for EU Long-Term Residence. A 3-year Bachelor's counts as 1.5 years. You need to work for the remaining 3.5 years.

Technically yes, but they should apply Separately. Simultaneous application often leads to rejection. Spouse does NOT get automatic work rights; they need a work permit sponsor.

Students under 26 years of age are often exempt from Income Tax (PIT) in Poland. This means your take-home salary from part-time jobs is higher!
