Maximum 15 days? When someone is still waiting for schengen visa to Netherlands via Belgium Embassy for 8 weeks -almost 2 months? Some even got their visas only after the events they were going for and one or two had to withdraw their applications.

heard it takes abou 40days and dey could deny u visa. so it ws true... i think its better to go through France embassy for a schengen visa. the others are ”head ache"//my opinion//.....

studying in Poland is not bad compared to many countries. it gives you the opportunity to study in good universities with affordable tuition fees , the cost of living is OK compared to other European countries. I think getting the admission won't b a problem as long as u submitted the required docs. the problem is the visa, the embassy is well know for refusing visas. but the complain had lessen since last year. heard they have repented, they even advice people on what docs to provide ,unlike b4 when they deny u without any reason. how far hv u gone with d admission? u wld receive ur conditional acceptance letter then after paying ur tuition fees u wld receive the final acceptance letter/visa letter. how far have u gone??

the embassy just released an appointment date 2015-07-06 ....hope u were able to secure an appointment... best regards..

@emmanuel90 from my perspective I believe that it depends on the persons real aim(intentions)....he has to try his possible best to c dat he convinces the consular and also present ”ALL" required docs.
Best regards..

Hello bruh, pls a friend wants to secure an appointment date to submit His documents to Polish Embassy and we have been on this issue for more than a month, we went to the Embassy, we were told to book an appointment online before we can be attended to, but all to no avail we get lack of available dates online.. Pls I need your candid response. Thanks.

I ve been following also...through out this month there were only schengen appointments... bt b patient and very observant cuz dey might release an appointment date for national visa soon..dey just released 1 for schengen today and its showing lack of available date already so u hv to b very vigilant if u want to secure 1 for national visa cuz am sure people lyk us are also waiting for d date..

You just have to know that they see Nigerians with bad eye as illegals and only out to marry as to get residency. It doesn't matter your age, it doesn't stop them from thinking you will change your mind to stay after your study. I have a friend studying in Gdansk and Sopot, so my guess is your going to one of them. Well you don't have to loose faith, Poland is much better in terms of life for International student compared to six years ago. Your decision not to pay tuition is smart, but that can also give room to Visa denial based on tuition not paid. All the best.

u have a point there... the fact that I wouldn't be paying my tuition fees might give room to visa denial..I also considered it..but i heard they have changed their ways now they do give reasons .if they say it's the reason for denying me It means that if I pay I would be granted a visa. wat do u tnk

I tnk its tym 4 us to get this topic rocking. I wld start wt the requirements from the embassy's site
ALL VISA ISSUES
REQUIRE REGISTRATION FOR APPOINTMENTS THROUGH
www.e-konsulat.gov.pl
ONLY HOLDERS OF DIPLOMATIC/OFFICIAL PASSPORTS
ARE
EXEMPT FROM THIS REQUIREMENT
REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
To register for a visa appointment, please go to www.e-
konsulat.gov.pl --> Visas. Then, depending on the
period of intended stay, choose “Schengen visa –
register form” or “National visa – register form”.
Schengen is for short-stay, up to 3 months; national is
for 3-12 months (work, studies, etc.).
Please be careful to choose to correct option. Choosing
“… - fill in form” will direct you to a different application
and you will be unable to apply correctly.
The system will show you available appointment dates.
Please note that appointment dates are granted
independently of the embassy, based on the missions
capacity and applicants’ demand. It is therefore not
possible to receive an earlier appointment date.
After you complete the online application form (make
sure to click “submit” and/or “print”), a PDF will pop
out. Please save it, print it and bring to
the appointment. The exact appointment time will be
visible on the last page of the PDF form.
Please note that all applications need to be submitted
personally by the applicants. We do not accept
applications submitted by post, courier or anybody else
than the applicants themselves. This requirement is
stipulated in EU law.
You will need to provide supporting documents along

@ eurozone1 tnx 4 ur contribution . I also heard about it but I hv to at least try because the course I want to go for is not offered in Nigeria its only the college of aviation Zaria dat offers a minor part of it and the tuition fees for this college is x3 of the 1 in Poland. for the fact that they would tnk I want to marry a polish girl its been solved cuz am not of that age yet.
as u said I ve also decided not to pay any tuition fee until am given a visa or assured of acquiring one .

@ holyboss .there was no English exam cuz Nigeria is an English speaking country and English language is the medium of instruction in schools. I just uploaded my secondary school cert, scanned copy of national passport and proof of application fees(€200) payment.
