Is it possible to change visit visa to student or work permit in Poland?

Hi Guys,

I just want to know whether is it possible to change visit visa to student or work permit? I have a week visa left with & my GF want me to stay here for long time.

Thanks in advance. :)

It is technically possible to do that without leaving Poland but it's very very difficult to do. However, it is impossible to do so when one only has a week left on one's visa. Sorry. Your best bet is to do three months in the UK and then return to Poland.

Thanks a lot for the info provided.

My GF & me will not happy with that. At least Can I extend my visa being in poland?

No, it must be done from your home country. I'm pretty certain you cannot 'upgrade' a visa within the country - except to go from a work/student visa to a residence permit.

Thanks for your help guys. Cheers :) Have a nice day.

Please advise me, if i entry as visit visa in Poland and can i change as work permit ? what i need to do ?

The only way to obtain the work permit is to find an employer who would like to give you a job and to persuade him to request the work permit for you.

Yes, if the condition Looker mentions is fulfilled. This is rare though.

Hi friend please is it possible to change visit visa to working or student visa in finland ?

Merged: Visa to Poland

Hello everyone,
I just got accepted to an university in Poland. While my country in the Caribbean is visa exempt or visa free travel to Poland, it is possible to travel to Poland as a visitor, and then apply for the student visa from within Poland?

The reason I'm asking, there's no polish embassy in my country and the nearest one is in the US, Cuba, Canada. I don't want to spend additional funds traveling to any of these country for the visa.

I was thinking to travel to the UK and apply there, then go to Poland and wait until the visa confirmation comes, the go back to the uk get the visa and back to university in Poland.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Can i change my tourist visa into student visa

Hi i need to apply for student visa from india but i m not getting dates for student visa so can i apply for tourist visa and then convert my tourist visa into student visa

is it possible to do so ?

Can anyone help me to get student visa ? from india

No. This is not allowed. Tourist visas can't be "converted" into anything else. You must get your student visa while you are still in India. If you come to Poland on a tourist visa, you will not be allowed to study unless you return to India and apply for a student visa there.


No. And anyone who says they can help you is a fraud scam artist who will steal your money and give you nothing.

You have to do it on your own. No "agent", "consultant" or "recruiter" can help you. They are thieves if they tell you they can help with getting a visa. Stay away from them, and don't believe a word they say.

hi i am in a need to know that i have a visit visa of poland schenegen for 3 months i need to know that if it can get changed into student visa because my sister is already studying in poland and i want to study also in bachelors so can my visa be converted into student visa by applying into any university will the uniersity give me visa ? or no ? plz tell me

Only if you apply to a university and get accepted. They give you a letter which you present when applying for a student visa. You've probably missed the application deadlines for study this year. Check the website of the university you're interested in. Here is an example from Warsaw University of Technology:

Just to be clear, you can't change your tourist visa to a student visa. You get a new one for study.
