How to fill out an application for a visa to Poland - a detailed guide

As for obtaining a visa to any of the countries that have signed the Schengen Agreement, the visa application form for Poland should be filled out in electronic form on the official website of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

To do this, follow the link -https://secure.e-konsulat.gov.pl . Below is a sample of filling out a questionnaire for a person who plans to travel to Poland to work in a construction company at the invitation of an employer (multiple entry visa 180/360, category D - national).

When filling out the questionnaire, do not forget about the time. The system provides 30 minutes for filling out one questionnaire. If you do not meet this time, the whole procedure will have to start from the very beginning.

Stage 1. We select the country (in our case - Ukraine) and in the next window - we select the consulate we need (Vinnitsa, Kyiv, Lutsk, Lviv, Odessa or Kharkov). We remind you that you can submit documents only at the Consulate at the place of registration or place of official employment.

On the next page, you make a choice of the category of visa (national or Schengen), enter the "captcha" - the verification code in the picture and press the button " Further«.

Let's stop a little at this stage and figure out which category of visa to choose and which link to follow:

if you are applying for a national visa for the purpose of going to work, follow the very first link " National visa - register the form«.
for tourists - link number 3 "Schengen visa - register the form»
for owners and those who submit documents at the invitation of relatives, there is no need to go through the standard procedure. In this case, you follow the second link "Fill out the form for a National visa", fill it out and print and submit documents on any day convenient for you. (This does not apply to applicants from the Vinnytsia District - they follow the standard procedure.)

Stage 2. Date selection. You have two options for the development of events. Option one is unfavorable if the following message appears in the window:

If there are available dates for registration, we select the appropriate day for visiting the consulate.

Stage 3. We proceed to the direct filling out of the questionnaire.

The first screen - personal data(fill in the same way as indicated in your passport):

Passport expiration date (year-month-day)
The authority that issued the passport (in digital format)

Screen 3: Home Address

field No. 10 is filled in exclusively for minors. In our case, check the box "Does not apply"
We fill in the Cyrillic address of your residence (registration), e-mail and contact phone number (field No. 17)

Stage 5. Information about the trip.

In field number 21, mark the purpose of the trip. For applicants traveling to work in Poland, check the box “Other” and enter the word “PRACA” in the field. For owners of the Pole's Card, enter in the field "KARTA POLAKA".

Field No. 22. The country of destination is Poland and the country of first entry is also Poland.
field 24 - how many times do you plan to cross the border (please note - multiple times), for a tourist trip - once;

Field No. 33 - Who bears the costs associated with the trip and information about insurance

Often, the field is marked that the applicant himself bears the expenses and the items “Cash” and “credit cards” are ticked. If you are visiting by invitation, you can specify the details of the host.

According to insurance - it must be issued for the entire period of the trip. However, there is a nuance here:

If you are going to work by invitation and you have a six-month visa, insurance must be issued for 180 days with a corridor of 360 days;
if you have a work permit () - insurance can be issued for 10 days with a corridor of 30 days. After all, it is understood that subsequent insurance is the concern of the employer.

Item No. 34 is marked with a tick in the field "DOES NOT CONCERN". You should also check the next 3 boxes, where you confirm that you are warned:

the consular fee is not refundable even in case of refusal;
about insurance;
about the reliability of the specified data.

After you click the "SAVE" button, it will be assigned a unique number, an individual barcode and the date / time of receipt at the Polish Consulate. Print the questionnaire - it should contain 3 pages - the third page will contain a barcode (bar code). Do not forget this page - without it, documents will not be accepted for work.

Everything, now it remains to paste the photo on the first page of the questionnaire and come to the Consulate to submit documents. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
