Despite Poland’s growing appeal among international students, the country appears to be implementing significant changes to its study and work visa processes.
In May 2024, the Polish government announced its plans to address irregularities in the visa issuance process.
Reports suggest that Poland will introduce a mandatory pre-selection requirement for visa applicants, which universities will also need to adhere to.
Additionally, Poland is considering restricting international students’ access to the labor market and may increase the minimum funds requirement for those applying for a visa or residence permit, as reported by Schengen News.
