Yes, you will be asked those questions depending on the Visa Officer you meet on your Interview day. So prepare for it.

As for travel insurance to come to Poland. You can get the most popular one Allianz which is not more than 50-60k for 1 year and 1 month. This is what you need for travels. When you get to Poland you will have the option to buy a health insurance that will be valid for your health care.

Please, I need assistance. Did you apply for a study or work visa? If study, were you given some maths questions to solve, asked to label 1 or 2 European countries on a map, did you swear an affidavit that you would return to Nigeria after your studies? Because I watched some videos on YouTube of some Nigerians who recently went to Poland and they said these are part of the questions they were asked during the interview.
Secondly, please, how do I go about my health insurance requested by the embassy, and please, any idea on how much it will cost?

Thank you so much i really appreciate this

Please I want to apply for a Polish student visa and I want to know if only my dad's account can suffice because he's my sponsor reasons are the traffic on my account is really poor and if I present my 6 months bank statement there's really nothing on it and it might not be accepted. But my dad's account is really strong given the nature of his job so 7 figures is not an issue so can I only use his account or I must also attach my account.

PS: I'm an adult hope they won't insist I also present my bank statement given I'm not a minor.

You are good to go, your Dad's Account is perfect since you said he has good inflows and outflow
You can add yours, atleast put upto 2m in your own account.

Some were rejected based on insufficient fund, many of these people actually have sufficient fund but lack sufficient explanation of the source of fund in their statement of purpose.

The finance section of your sop/Loe is very important to avoid refusal.
Statement of Purpose is an important driver of your application. Write effectively.

Don't get refused because of a weak SOP. A statement of purpose represents you in writing.

Back your SOP/LOE up with the needed documents and proof.

Your proof of fund section is important, explain all about your financial plan; the source of the lump sums in the account you will be presenting

All the information you need is on the website of the Polish Embassy.

--> If your Tuition fee per Year is 10,000 PLN and you're going for BSc. Ensure you have 10,000 PLN x 4 years = 40,000PLN cooling in your Sponsors Account.
--> Include your 1 year Accomodation; Assuming your accomodation in a month is 800PLN. Then 800PLN x 12 months = 9600 PLN
--> Include your feeding allowance too; assuming 300 PLN Monthly depending on you & your stomach infrastructural language. 300 x 12 =3600PLN

Total = 53,200 PLN

If your sponsor is still actively working and earns a salary; He/she can have 80% of the estimate and add his/her with supporting work documents.

Yes, you can self-sponsor if you're going for Masters. No if you're going for BSc.

Goodluck

There are glimpse of hope in Poland embassy Visa issuant rate, latest observation reviewed that
There's been an improvement in the rate of visa approval at the Poland embassy over 2 months now, after they observed that reduction in the number of apllicants was as a result of high rate of visa denial, it seems they want to improve on that.
Yesterday only, out of the few number of applicant that came to pick their visa.
7 was given visa, 5 study and 2 work, this trends marks an onward increase in their visa issuance rate.

Thanks all for ur information so far, I want to travel to Poland through study. I have even started some school application but I have been have some difficulties in completing my application. Like one of the school am applying to, school of economics Warsaw for MSc and the deadline is 24 July. In the application form u are ask to type in ur phone number and an sms code will be sent to u,which u will input into the form to enable them verify ur phone number before u can continue with the process The issue now is after putting ur phone number u will Waite all day for sms code and it will not com. I have to call the school on phone to speak with them on the issue and the guy told me they have been having same issue with international student particularly Nigeria. So he advise I send an email for the application so they can help me apply for me manually which I did but did not get any response and I even call several time after sending the mail but they refused to pickup.
The other incident, I did all the filling only for me to receive the code no way. So I send and email to the school if there is anyway they can rectify it but no response..
Pls I want to ask if anyone can help on this situation cos am planning for February intake.
