Poland in India

The Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland strongly advices against contacting or using services of the travel agents claiming to have any ties / special relations with the Embassy, as well as persons offering special visa authorization letters allegedly signed by any member of the Polish Foreign Service or the Embassy itself.

The Embassy is not issuing any authorization letters to applicants. The only ways of communicating the result of the procedure are visa stamped in passports or refusal letters handed to an applicant. No assessment or authorization is granted to the applicant prior to the application is properly lodged at the counter.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland does not issue work permits or other documents entitling to work in Poland and does not issue residence cards – the above documents are issued by competent authorities in Poland.

Neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the Embassy itself verify the authenticity of work permits or residence cards.
