Visas
Students requiring visas, after succesful application process and payment of the Summer School fee, will receive an official invitation from the organisers. The obligation to find out about the visa procedure in the closest Polish Embassy/ Consular Office and responsibility for submitting all the necessary documents in time – belongs to the students.
As of 21 December 2007, Poland is a part of the Schengen visa area. Citizens of EU member states (including Poland) must present a valid passport or ID card when entering the Schengen area. Citizens of non-Schengen states must be prepared to present other documents in addition to a valid passport, such as an explanation of the purpose of travel, should the border guard request them. The border guard also has the right to ask for proof of sufficient funds to support the person’s stay in the Schengen area.
Citizens of non-Schengen states who do not require a visa to enter the Schengen area may stay there for up to 90 days within a 6-month period, starting from the date of first entry into the Schengen area. Citizens of non-Schengen states who are required to obtain a visa to enter the Schengen area may stay there in accordance with the conditions established in the visa, though not for more than 90 days within a 6-month period, starting from the date of first entry into the Schengen area. A citizen of a non-Schengen state receives a stamp in his/her passport when he/she goes through border control upon entering the Schengen area, which designates the official beginning of his/her stay in the area. The passport is also stamped when the person leaves the Schengen area.
