Law / Help regarding Poland's National 'D' Visa Appointment at Mumbai Consulate! [719]

@KnightHawk

Hi,

I'm from Chennai and I also have visa appointment in Mumbai consulate on Dec 4th.

You can find all information including the fees in here:
mumbaj.msz.gov.pl/en/consular_information/visa/mumbaj_in_k_35

It says:

"All visa fees should be paid at the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (address: 75, Rehmet Manzil, Veer Nariman Road, Churchgate, Mumbai-400020) by cash or by demand draft in favour of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Mumbai. The payment should be made prior to the submission of the visa application at the Consulate. You may deposit your payment at the ADCB's counter from Monday till Friday between 10.30 and 16.00 (except bank holidays)"

They won't mail it to you. You have to collect it personally or appoint someone officially who can collect it on your behalf and so the person can send you.

Cheers!

So you don't have to worry about time.

Not sure about the offer letter part. But you must have an insurance or some proof about it, to show during your visa interview. Better check it out.

About the flight reservation, there are some websites which don't charge for the reservation but it could be fake.
But the normal reservation costs only around 10% of the original ticket fare.

I don't know which travel agency you approached, but typically the reservations can be hold up to 7-15 days, which means they are valid for 1-2 weeks max. So better make your reservation two days before your visa appointment. Considering your visit is on Dec 4th, it's quite surprising to know that you haven't already figured out all these details. Nevertheless, it isn't too late either.

Even for my full time studies, i had to show both onward and return itinerary. As i said, it doesn't cost much.
You can book the original tickets once your visa will be ready.

Again, just go through this page:
mumbaj.msz.gov.pl/en/consular_information/visa/mumbaj_in_k_35

You will find all the details.

There is even a information of which insurances one should buy. Bajaj Allianz and Royal Sundaram are few good ones.
You can buy it online, take it for a period of one month for your safety. It costs only around 1500 - 2500 INR.

Don't risk your chances by providing fake documents.

Cheers!

"Indians have a stupid habit of presenting counterfeit or altered documents. It's not a big deal in India"

I quite agree on that part. But stereotyping the whole nation because you encountered or known such kind of people by coincidence or through some medium isn't fair.

*Stereotype is a disease and a brother of racism*

Mentioning 'Few, Some or even More' before you begin a sentence wouldn't take long, man.

Consulate of Poland in Mumbai will not mail anything to you. Once you have registered for the date and filled the form, it will automatically go in their system.

During your appointment, you have to take the printed application form with the supporting documents.

(or)

If you are talking about their visa process, it will take maximum of 14 calendar days (30 in rare cases). You have to go and collect the passport by yourself or by some authorized person.

@Ancy rose

I didn't understand your previous question, my mistake!

Yes, they typically send the application form sooner but since it's the time of Christmas, it may take a while.
I'm sure you have time for your appointment. Mail them again after 27th/28th DEC, or call them until they pick up if your date is nearing and let them know your situation.

Meanwhile, you can arrange other documents which are required and once you get this application form, you are ready to go!
This shouldn't be a thing to worry ;) Keep your fingers crossed.
