Checks before you apply
Poland must be the competent country for your application based on your itinerary and main travel purpose. The actual host company or event organiser provides evidence of the business visit. A business invitation alone does not authorise employment or guarantee a visa.
Preparing your document file
Use this list for an initial review. Submission requires the current checklist from the relevant consulate or authority, taking account of nationality and country of residence.
- Compare passport details and check your eligibility to apply in the chosen country.
- Check the current form and requirements for photographs, translations and the submission method.
- Host company letter explaining the purpose, dates, participants and responsibility for expenses.
- Meeting itinerary or trade fair registration; evidence of your professional activity.
Getting started with EUROWIZA
- Tell EUROWIZA your destination, purpose, nationality, country of lawful residence and intended dates.
- Clarify the available assistance and document list; agree on the service scope and price before paying.
- Compare the completed file with the official instructions. Keep appointment, payment and submission confirmations.
Planning time and costs
First check available appointments and the authority’s published processing times. Allow time to collect documents, obtain translations and address further requests. Confirm EUROWIZA service charges separately from government fees, insurance and other expenses. The competent authority decides the application; preparing documents does not guarantee issuance by a particular date.
Questions and answers
Is an invitation from a Polish company required?
You need evidence of the business purpose. Its form depends on the trip and consular requirements; an event organiser’s confirmation may support a trade fair visit.
How long does a C visa decision take?
The usual decision period is 15 calendar days, extendable to 45 in individual cases. Appointment waits and passport delivery are separate.
