Documents Required

The list of documents provided below is not exhaustive, and the customer may be asked to provide additional information or documents if requested by the Mission.

Both the standard and supporting documentation must be recent, not older than one month, and must be provided for every Schengen visa application.

Applicants are required to bring and present their original documents, but they only need to submit photocopies unless specified otherwise.

Before gathering the required documents mentioned below, applicants are advised to carefully review the requirements under the Overview section to ensure eligibility for the chosen visa category.

  1. STANDARD DOCUMENTATION FOR SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATION
  2. Visa application form (original) – Please refer to the link provided.

Note: An extended passport may still be valid, but if it is older than 10 years, it is no longer acceptable. In such cases, the customer must first apply for a new passport.

  1. Photocopies of previous Schengen visas – If applicable, include photocopies of previous Schengen visas endorsed in an old passport and issued within the last 3 years.
  2. UK Residence permit – A valid UK Residence permit, either endorsed in the passport or issued as a Biometrics card, is required for travel to the Schengen Area. It must be valid for at least one month beyond the return date of the trip. If you hold a C type visitor visa, you can only apply for a Schengen visa for Essential Travel purposes, such as business, study, family reunification, health or humanitarian reasons, and if you are an EU Family Member accompanying a corresponding family member.

To support your Schengen visa application, you need to provide the following documentation:

Proof of current occupation:

  1. Employer letter (original): This should be a recent letter, signed and on company letterhead. It should be addressed to the Mission and include the name and position of the signee. The letter should confirm your employment with the company. Additionally, you need to provide your last three months’ payslips.
  2. Student letter (original): If you are a student, you need a recent letter from your UK university. It should be addressed to the Mission and include the name and position of the signee. The letter should confirm your enrollment as a student.
  3. Self-employment letter (original): If you are self-employed, you need a recent letter, signed and on company letterhead. It should be addressed to the Mission and include the name and position of the signee. The letter should confirm your self-employment. If applicable, this letter should be obtained from your accountant, solicitor, bank manager, or Companies House. If your name is not mentioned on the Certificate of Incorporation received upon registering your business, you need to provide additional proof demonstrating your connection to the company.

Proof of business invitation:

You need an original cover letter from the inviting company or organization in Poland. The letter should confirm your name, purpose of visit, period of visit, and provide confirmation of travel and/or accommodation arrangements.

The balance should reflect a minimum amount of £50.00 per day of your stay in the Schengen Area, in addition to outstanding accommodation and travel fees. Alternatively, online bank account printouts are also acceptable.
  2. Travellers’ cheques should cover the same amount as explained in section a.

Proof of Travel

To confirm your travel arrangements, please provide the following:

  1. Confirmed return travel tickets, clearly stating your name and travel dates to and from the Schengen Area.
  2. If you are traveling by car, please provide car registration, car insurance, and return travel tickets (ferry or Eurotunnel) that mention the car’s registration number and driver’s driving license.

If your travel tickets have been paid through a travel agency, please include a receipt, invoice, or payment confirmation.

Proof of Accommodation

To fulfill the requirement of providing proof of accommodation, it is necessary to present a confirmed reservation from a reputable establishment such as a hotel, hostel, or camping site. This reservation should clearly state the customer’s name, travel dates, and the address details of the accommodation.

In the event that the customer’s name is not mentioned on the reservation, an additional document is required. This document should be a joint travel confirmation letter, signed and dated by the person whose name appears on the reservation. Along with this letter, a photocopy of the same person’s passport or ID card, including the passport signature page if the signature is not present on the passport’s bio page, must also be provided.

For group reservations, a list containing the names of all group members is necessary. Alternatively, the names of the group members can be mentioned on the travel ticket.

Travel Insurance (Comprehensive Medical Coverage)

A crucial aspect of the application process is obtaining travel insurance that provides all-risk medical coverage. The insurance policy must clearly display the customer’s name and be valid throughout the entire Schengen Area. Furthermore, it must cover the entire duration of the customer’s intended stay in the Schengen Area. The minimum coverage for medical emergencies and repatriation, including the necessary clause, should amount to at least €30,000.

Please ensure that all the aforementioned requirements are met in order to comply with the regulations set forth by the authorities.

Processing time

Customers are advised to submit their Schengen visa application up to 6 months prior to their intended travel date to the Schengen Area. It is important to note that the minimum processing time for a visa application is 2 weeks.

Therefore, it is recommended that customers allow sufficient time between their appointment date and travel date for the Mission to process their application. However, it is important to understand that delays may occur, and there are no guarantees on the return date of the visa application.

The visa application requires consultation from other Schengen countries, resulting in a minimum processing time of more than 3 weeks. To avoid any delays in the visa application process, the application must be complete, and all submitted documents meet the requirements set by the Mission.

Customers should also be aware that during busy seasons such as Easter, Summer holidays (July and August), and Christmas, appointment slots are quickly filled as the Mission can only process a limited number of visa applications daily. Additionally, customers should take into consideration that Mission closures and holidays may further extend the processing time of the visa application.

Therefore, we strongly recommend the following to all customers:

  1. Book your appointment as soon as you know your travel plans.
  2. Ensure that all documentation in your visa application meets the requirements set by the Mission.
  3. Allow sufficient processing time for the Mission to review your application.
