NO you cannot study anywhere else other than in Poland on a Polish visa. If you want to study in Sweden, then get a visa for Sweden.

Yep, to add to this - those category D visas are not 'Schengen' visas - they're still national-only visas. They haven't harmonised the long term visas across the Schengen zone yet (and perhaps never will, which is why you see the Straż Graniczna pulling non-whites).

I've no idea if you can apply for a Swedish visa in Poland, but I don't see why not.

Best bet is to contact the Polish embassy (or whoever Poland has an agreement with) in your own country and ask there. I don't see why not, but you'll have to meet the immigration restrictions for that country.

Whatever you do, don't attempt to travel in other Schengen countries without a valid visa.

You want to study in a Scandinavian country so you get yourself a Polish visa? You wouldn't happen to try and study logic, would you?

...now that made me laugh. No, not logic, but another ......ology, which tells you that you can apply for a visa to America and go and visit China.

the best bet would be going to the swedish consulate in poland and finding out.

i got my uk working holiday visa for the uk whilst in poland from the australian/british consulate in warsaw. a process that takes 3-4 weeks in australia took 3 hours.

Why did you obtain a visa for Poland if you don't want to study there?

I will repeat this - do not attempt to enter Sweden on the D visa in order to study. It's valid for 5 days (I think...) to transit through Schengen countries to reach Poland - but it isn't valid for EU travel. You'll need a Swedish/Norwegian/Danish visa for that, or a short term Schengen visa.

If you're caught, then as a visa national, you'll probably face a lengthy ban from Schengen.

Merged: VISA TYPE D: Can I travel to Schengen countries for tour?

Hi All,

I have a visa valid for Poland, Visa Type: D.

Can I travel to Schengen countries for tour...with this visa..?

Below is what I found from one of the site:

Visa for a long stay "Type D"

This visa is valid for a stay of more than 3 months. It is always valid for 1 Schengen-country and authorises the foreigner to transit by a Schengen-country, different than the country of final destination.

cambridge1.net/Shengenvisa.html

But I am not sure whether this is just for transit or can be used for tour as well.

Thanks

Check out this website europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HT ML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

National type D visas have always enabled passage through other Schengen countries for an amount of time necessary to transit, up to five days. This was in order to enable travellers to reach smaller Schengen countries going through other major destinations in the EU. However, since April 5, 2010 the type D national visa also allows travel to other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within 6 months, the same as a residence permit.

Depending on your country of residence, you can also contact the Polish Embassy for details.

Good luck

Your passport and visa would be checked only once your plane is entering or leaving Schengen zone. Domestic, inside EU flights are hassle free in terms of passport checks.

If u needed to visit more countries in Europe, then the schengen visa is required. But if u applied for Poland national visa and u told them u wanted to visit other countries, you might end up refused the visa or advice to apply for the schengen visa.

Good luck

Even if you have booked your appointment for a polish national visa you can just change it to schengen when you for the appointment. I booked an appointment for schengen and changed it to national during the appointment.

National visa is usually taken when you plan to work in a country. But in your case schengen would be perfect. and I don't think you have difference in the cost.

From what I have read on the Polish Embassy sites, if you have a National Visa (more than 90 days), you are allowed to visit any of the Schengen countries for not more than 90 days out of 180 days.

Generally it depends of your visa.
This link may help you to get some information about a possibility to go from Poland to Sweden.
learn4good.com/travel/sweden_visas.htm#req

Contact also an embassy (consulate?) of Sweden in Poland. Direct info is the best.

The Polish residency card is necessary for prolongation of stay in Poland in case when your visa expire - of course you need to apply earlier, if I'm not mistaken, the 45 days before is a minimum. So in short you should apply for a resident permit as soon as possible if you study in Poland long term.
