D type (national) Visa - How to Book an Appointment?

08.05.2026

Recently, the procedure for obtaining an appointment date for submitting a visa application through the e-Konsulat system has been updated. Priority in appointment allocation will be given to applicants who, during the registration of their application, used the video verification service (online visual verification of the applicant's identity and identity document). Below you will find detailed information and the stages of registration for a D type visa application.

Book your visa appointment via e-konsulat system.

Study Purposes

New appointment dates for National Visa Study are available in the e-konsulat system every Friday at 12:00 on an ad-hoc basis (the possibility to choose a specific date from the available pool) until the established limit is exhausted.

Work purposes and other cases

As of 22 April 2026, a new tool has been implemented in the e-Konsulat registration system for booking appointments to submit applications for a national visa for work purposes (service type “National visa – work”) and in other cases (service type “National visa – other”). This tool includes online visual verification of the applicant’s identity and their identity document (video verification).

The video verification service allows confirmation of the applicant’s identity in real time, which ensures that consulate appointment slots are allocated according to the actual demand reported by individual clients. This service, provided by an external entity, is paid (cost – EUR 9.05). The service provider offers 24/7 technical support (helpdesk) and guarantees a high level of data security.

Applications submitted using the new tool are placed in the pool of pending applications, in line with current practice. At the stage of automatic appointment allocation, priority is given to individuals who have completed the video verification process. Other applicants will receive appointment dates later, after the pool of applications submitted via the video verification service has been exhausted.
The electronic randomization of appointment dates (automatic allocation of appointment dates based on the date the application was entered into the system) for working visa and "other" takes place every Saturday at 12PM.

Please note that you must apply for a visa not later than two weeks before the start of the intended visit.

NOTE! When registering, provide full and authentic data contained in the submitted documents. The data entered in the application must be consistent with the data contained in the documents (also in terms of spelling).

In order to book an appointment for submitting an application for a national work visa, you should:

  • enter the website e-konsulat
  • in the MENU tab select the option: "National Visa - Register form", then select "National visa – Work" or "National visa - Other", fill in the visa application form containing your basic data and details of the document authorizing you to work in Poland. If the details entered are correct, you will receive an email with a link to complete the full visa application. You’ll have 48 hours to finalize your application. Fill in the visa application form, save it and print it. If the data is not properly verified or the full application is not completed within 48 hours, the registration will be canceled.
  • If the number of the applicants is more than available places, the appointment dates will be allocated by electronic randomization. After the randomization you will get the information about the randomization results, as well as:
  • The information about the appointment booking, if your visa application form registration has been confirmed.
  • The information on passing to the next stage of randomization, in case the registration of your visa application has not been confirmed.   

The consular officers cannot interfere with the process of the randomizations of visa application form, concerning the assignment of the appointment dates.

All the information, confirmations, and the links to filled-in application forms are sent automatically to the e-mail address provided by you.

You must come to the consular office within the set date with the printed and signed visa application form, the original of the work permit and the complete set of necessary documents.
