New Online System Launched for Polish Work Visa Applications
Streamlined Process with e-Konsulat
Great news for those seeking work visas in Poland! The Polish Embassy in India, along with the Consulate General in Mumbai, has introduced a new online system called e-Konsulat. This simplifies and expedites the application process for work visas (D-Type National Visas).
Key Changes and Benefits:
- Mandatory Online Registration: Starting June 26, 2024, all work visa applications must be submitted electronically through e-Konsulat. This replaces any previous methods.
- Fair Appointment System: Gone are the days of first-come, first-served! Once registered, appointment slots at designated Visa Application Centers (VACs) will be assigned through an electronic draw, ensuring fairness for all applicants.
- Increased Convenience: The e-Konsulat system allows you to register from anywhere with an internet connection, eliminating the need for physical visits.
- Reduced Wait Times: The electronic draw system aims to distribute appointment slots efficiently, potentially reducing waiting times.
- Enhanced Transparency: The automated process ensures a fair and transparent allocation of appointments.
What is a D-Type National Visa (Work Visa)?
This visa allows you to stay in Poland for more than 90 days for employment purposes. It’s ideal for individuals who have secured a job in Poland and need to reside there to work. D-Type visas can be issued for periods exceeding 90 days, up to one year, with the possibility of extending your stay through a residence permit application.
