residency proof for visa for visiting Poznan

10 Nov 2008 / #1

hello everyone :)

I'll be going to poznan for the UN conference this month end. We have been provided with letters of accreditation for easing the visa application process. I wish to know if i'll need a proof of residency to enter the city. coz as of now i am planning to reside with a couple of new acquaintances and it will be troublesome for them to vouch for me and follow any protocol that might be required.

Any solutions to this problem? please direct me to any previous thread if this was discussed earlier. thanks a lot. :)

i have seen that my friend :) . We have the notification letter and also the visa support letter. What we are worried of, since we dont have a personal invitation from the host country(poland), is do we have to submit a proof of our residence for the duration of the conference once we land in poznan ? Hope i made sense. :)

PS: the visa would qualify as a business visa. so will i need residence proof? thanks
