Help regarding Poland's National 'D' Visa Appointment at Mumbai Consulate!

Hi,

I am from India and I have received work permit for job in Krakow and was trying to book appointment online for 'D" Visa at Polish consulate in Mumbai. However, it is not giving me any dates till September end. Any idea how to get visa appointment date sooner as it will delay the process by at least a month?

I have written to consulate if I can get any appointment and am waiting for their reply.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek, this is all you can really do, wait for your appointment to come through. They are always stretched for resources. Your letter may help, however you shouldn't count on that.

Thank you @jon357. Let us see when I get the appointment.

The visa dates open usually on every Monday and Tuesday. The dates get exhausted very fast. The reason you didn't get the date is because the lasst time it opened was in july. I would suggest you to visit the embassy and get a slot if someone else cancels. Keep visiting the webpage every monday from 9-10AM india time.

Thank you for your reply. I have been trying for last couple of weeks. I will see if there are new slots available this Monday.

I am located in Bangalore and consulate is in Mumbai. Do you think visiting consulate would help in getting a slot?

No. They won't even let you in unless you have an appointment. All you can do is wait until one opens up and book it as soon as it appears. Apparently, they all get reserved within a few minutes, so make sure you are ready to go at the times listed by Curryguy above, and move fast.

Thanks everyone! Got the appointment for first week of October.

Hi abhishek,
I am from india too and i've been dealing with the same problem with the national visa D for students.
How were you exactly able to score an appointment date despite them mentioning the lack of available dates on the website?
my college starts in 10 days ,yet i dont have a visa appointment.Your answer would be helpful abhian.

Thanks,

I am applying for national work visa while you need to apply for national student's visa and I guess waiting is more for student visa.

I suggest you write to consulate and explain your situation. Also write to Indian Embassy in Poland if they could help reaching out to polish consulate in India.

Thank you so much Abhian and curryguy!! I got the appointment :-)

How did you get the appointment eventually and did you get immediate slot?

I visited the embassy website at the times that curryguy had mentioned,actually before that - 8:45 Am. And the slots were pretty much available.I fixed mine for the 15th of september

Great news, and good luck with the interview.

Hi, Even my mother in law have the appointment on 15th Sept and around 8.45am time.

Hello Gentleman - Currently i am waiting for my work permit, i will submit my application as soon as i get my work permit.
I have a question, is it mandatory to have a flight reservation ticket along with required documents for a national visa D type multiple entry? at the time of visa interview at Mumbai Consulate.

Any response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Monty

@Mayur21
yes, you require the flight ticket, for more details refer the embassy website,

Hello Everyone -

This regrading visa appointment dates.
When i am making an appointment date i see this message "Lack of available dates to 2017-11-03" does it means there will be no dates available till 3rd November?

I have to apply national visa type D multiple entry.

@Mayur21

Yes. It does mean there are no dates available till 2017-11-03. However you can keep trying as they sometimes have slots available before that in case someone cancels appointment.

@Abhian

Thank you for your response.

Now tension time started :(

@mayur21
Mayur try registering for the appointment between 8:30am and 9:30am.keep refreshing during this time.I was dealing with the same problem but i finally got the apointment this way on a wednesday.I believe they give slots on wednesday (not sure at all). but you could try everyday and especially on wednesdays.

Goodluck 😊👍

@djinlegit - Thank you :) lets hope for the best.

Greeting of the day - Finally i got an appointment on 2017-11-06.

I too got it for 06th Nov '17, slots are still open for later dates...

Hi,

I am from India and I am trying to book appointment online for national 'D' type Visa at Polish consulate in Mumbai. However, every time I try to book an appointment it shows Lack of available dates to 2017-10-31 . Any idea how to get visa appointment date sooner since my course has been already started(2nd October Onwards) and I am still here?

I have written to consulate three times and I am still waiting for their reply.

Thank you,
Manjunath

Hello Everyone - Just to make sure we can also pay visa fees in cash at consulate, right? or we only need to deposit in a bank.

Please suggest....

Thanks.

@Mayur21
You can only deposit in the bank. They will not accept it at the consulate.

Thanks

Hey, this is a very useful thread. But I am a bit confused on which day are the slots getting opened at Mumbai consulate?

I am in need of National D type student visa. Please help.

Thank you.

@ukp15
Normally new slots open on Monday or Tuesday morning. You need to be quick to get the slots. I would recommend you keep trying from 9 am.

@abhian - Thank u for ur response.

Your inputs would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mayur
