my visa was rejected for United Kingdom so Uk visa result give me problem for poland visa result ?
It probably won't have any effect. Although Poland may well reject your visa application for exactly the same reason the UK did. Also, you won't be able to into the UK from Poland even if you do get a visa for Poland.
sorry but i mention that Uk embassy gave me reason that i m single person and i can't back from uk and my polish friend mention about my accommodation for my Poland trip and i want to know what types of documents Polish embassy need for my visa.
Hello. I need an advice. I am a filipina holding a Philippine passport. I am married to a polish guy, but he ia working and living in UK so it was his mother who sent me an invitation to go to Poland. I received an invitation which is valid for 1 year. My mother in law processed lots paper works including her Tax, proof she's got 5000 euro as my travel insurance to cover my cost of stay, her bank account, proof she's got a house, proof she is polish, etc.
My question is, am I allowed to travel just using my invitation letter? My husband said my visa will be stamped on my passport on the Poland border before I enter. Which means, I only have my invitation letter, passport, marriage contract and ID's when I travel to poland. I already have my plane ticket and I am set to fly on August 15, 2016. I am just a bit worried that the philippine immigration might hold me at the airport knowing that I don't have a visa yet. Please help.
You will need a visa. Bringing all sorts of letters and other documents means nothing to the border guards, only the official documents (visas, residency cards etc. ) will get you through.
I have registered as an eu citizen in my local miasto urząd Spraw Obywatelskich i Cudzoziemców. ( because i want to stay on poland for more than 3 months ) and got a small folded piece of card with a zzr number at the bottom and my name passport details etc inside.
I want to be able to work - but for this will need some form of pesel number ( a bit like a uk ni number)
I had thought that by Zameldowaning at my local urząd miasto ( bringing with me this piece of card plus rent agreement plus uk passport ) getting a card with some sort of pesel number in the post would be easy
I have tried to zameldowania tymczasowe ( based on the fact my rental contract is 12 months long)
But can not do so.
My landlord has inserted a clause in the rent agreement which says that he doesn't agree to zameldowania me
This is a problem....
I have already paid him quite a few months up front ... and I want to do some work - so really could do with some sort of ni number / pesel number
I've only been in poland a few months and never realised Zameldowaning would be so difficult - and crucially that for an eu citizen to get a pesel number / ni number you must first Zameldowat
Why do you need a zameldowania? Since the beginning of this year they are not required (for anyone). Your identification card does't have to have an address. I'm American and don't have or need a zameldowania, I really doubt you need one either.
Garryking, you won't be able to get a PESEL number even if you manage to register/zameldowanie as they now will only give out a PESEL number to a foreigner if you have permanent residence. obywatel.gov.pl/dokumenty-i-dane-osobowe/uzyskaj-numer-pesel-dla-cudzoziemcow
Sparks11, the obligation to register is still in place, every foreigner that is in Poland and plans to stay longer than 14 days should do so, being American you should register after the 4th day. obywatel.gov.pl/meldunek/zamelduj-sie-na-pobyt-czasowy-dla-cudzoziemcow
As for getting rid of the zameldowanie, they moved the date for removing the need to register to the 1st of January 2018, prawo.gazetaprawna.pl/artykuly/918155,obowiazek-meldunkowy-miejsce-zamieszkania.html
Interesting, every American I know has gotten a KP without a Zameldowania. I used to need one to get the KP but no one has needed it even before 2016, for most of 2015 no one was asked. I can't really see any benefit to it. As far as getting a NIP and PESEL you get them when you register with the tax office and ZUS i.e. when you become employed or open a business.
As 4GTPWRD pointed out, you will not get a PESEL. Since March last year, only permanent residents can get it. You can get NIP from the tax office. You should have it by the time you do your first tax deceleration.
Im South African, can anyone assist with a invitation letter to Poland please.
I have been in Poland before and have the visas to prove it. The problem is, im no longer in contact with the person who assisted with the previous invitation.
No offence, Ray, but no one is going to ever go through the trouble of getting an official invitation for you. It's not just a letter that they write and send to you. They have to apply to the local authorities, and guarantee that they will support you during your stay and that you will leave the country when your visa expires. That means serious financial and legal consequences. They have to show that they have enough income and savings to support you. Nobody would every do that for a stranger, especially one who is planning on working a low-paying job as a English teacher. Even close friends would be wary of vouching for you under such circumstances. Besides, you would not be allowed to work on a visitor visa anyway.
You're not going to get a visa that enables you to work in Poland unless you land a job in Poland BEFORE you leave South Africa with an employer that is willing to go through the hassle of applying for a work permit for you. Very few language schools are going to be willing to go through that for a greenie teacher with no special skills. Forget about any plans of showing up in Poland on a tourist visa and hoping to find work once you are here. That is definitely not going to happen.It is illegal for Polish employers to hire individuals on tourist visas. Tourist visas are issued, well, only for tourism, just like the name says. It is illegal to seek work, apply for jobs, or work in any capacity on a tourist visa.
Thank you for the feedback DominicB, that was a desperate move on my part, apologies.
Feeling a bit frustrated, as when applying for jobs at English schools, seems to be a bit of a challenge for me. Mmmm is there any other means of coming to Poland without the hassle of obtaining an invitation letter.
Thing is, my daughter visit's her grandparents in the December holidays, from the UK. That was the main reason for my "not so clever yet

Long story short I really wanted to see her, as her mom and I split up a few years ago and still not on speaking terms. I will continue to in the meantime to apply at schools, even if it means I can just get by...at the moment in not interested in getting rich but just to see my daughter.
Really, your options are severely limited, and they are all going to take way more than a month. You can try to get a tourist visa, but that is going to be hard from someone from SA unless you are an ideal candidate, and from what you have written, you do not seem to be anywhere close. That would give you the right to be in Poland for a maximum of three months, and you would not be able to work or seek work, nor can a tourist visa be "upgraded" to a work visa. There's really no point in going that route.
Your best chance is to find a job in Poland while you are still in South Africa with a company that is willing to apply for a work permit to hire you. Chances are slim to none, but you have nothing to lose except time and energy. Your chances are best with schools in small towns off the beaten track, especially in the Far East of Poland, where native English speakers are rare as hen's teeth and schools just might be desperate enough to hire a greenie without any special qualifications or skills. Places like Augustów, Łomża, Chełm or Sanok. In popular large cities in western Poland, like Poznań, the odds are stacked against you.
In either case, it is unlikely that you would be able to get a visa to enter the UK. Your chances of doing that are just as poor if you applied in Poland than were you to apply in South Africa.
From what I gather, the situation is this:
Your wife has sole legal custody of your child and has no intention of letting you be part of their life in any form. You have no visitation rights, are not paying any child support, and do not have the wherewithal to obtain any rights from a court in Poland or the UK. Your wife and child have moved on and are apparently living just fine without you. You would be a most unwelcome intruder. Were you to show up and invade their space, it would not end well for you. If you approach this child without the explicit and written permission of the mother, the police and social services may well consider as an attempted abduction or other threat to the child's safety and welfare. There is little chance that they will be sympathetic to what you have to say for yourself. You could end up being arrested, deported and banned from the entire Schengen zone for the rest of your life.
If you had abundant financial resources, you could consult a good family lawyer in South Africa with experience with custody cases in the EU and apply to the court for visitation privileges. But it is going to be hard to find such a lawyer, and lawyers like that don't come cheap. And since the process is long and drawn out, even more so since you are in South Africa, the costs will be extravagant. Hate to say it, but it looks as if you have little option but to accept the situation and carry on with your own life.
This may come as a surprise to you but whatever funds I have available, I send to my daughter via western union transfer. Although the amount differs from time to time, if I am at the means to send money to her, I will do that. Things are difficult right now but I know they won't last forever.
I have an email of her mom and address in Poland for her grandparents. My daughter will remain, having a father, so I will hold onto that title for as long as I can. Whatever the circumstances may be, I will not be added to the dead beat stats of father's who don't support their kids.
The information you provided of the schools in Poland I appreciate that, thank you. As I mentioned before, I have been to Poland and I know how the tourist visa works. My initial question on the forum was a bit unnecessary. Again thank you for answering my query.
Since you are sending money, then would it not be worth trying to improve your relations with your wife to the point where she will allow you to visit the child? That would save a great deal of time, effort and money over the convoluted plans you have presented so far. She's probably the only person who can sponsor and invite you for a visitors visa, and the consul responsible for issuing the visa will be more sympathetic.
That would greatly simplify matters, and have a realistic chance of success.
Hello, i have came from Bangladesh, now I'm stay in Belarus 1 years here. I'm a student and study here Brest state technical university. I want to visit Poland for Christmas day. Now I need Poland a tourist invitations. How can I get a tourist invitations. Please tell me.
You can't unless you personally know someone very well in Poland who would be willing to take financial and legal responsibility for you and apply for an official invitation with the local authorities. Even with an official personal invitation, your visa application is likely to be denied as you cannot prove that you have any intention of leaving the Schengen zone when your visa expires.
Sorry, but it seems to me to be a waste of time and money applying for a visa that you will almost certainly not be granted.
