If you are student in Warsaw or another city in Poland want to continue your stay in Poland after your study then you can explore various visa options in Poland after study. In this blog, we will inform you about the options that you can consider if you complete your graduation or are about to complete your studies in Poland.
1. Job Search Visa
The first and foremost option you can consider to continue your stay in Poland after completing your graduation or have a degree with you is apply for search visa which will be around 9 months of time. that’s mean you visa will be valid for 9 month and you have 9 month to stay in Poland and find a job during this time.
Requirements for job search visa in Poland
These are the basic requirements that you have to fulfill e.g.
1. You have completed your graduation officially.
2. You have enough balance in your account to prove that you can easily bear your expenses during this time which is around 770 – 780 PLN plus other expenses that you need to show your student bank statement.
Author advices for you
Here, other expenses mean an additional amount in your account with a monthly cost plus return ticket cost. Remember, then, in Poland the standard cost for a ticket is 2500 PLN. For example, if your expenses are 776, then you have to multiply 776 by 9 and then add 2500 and then make your statement accordingly.
The second and most important advice for you is to apply as soon as possible because the immigration office takes longer to respond to you and if you apply earlier then there will be great chances to get an early visa.
