Operation of the Consular Section of the Embassy of Poland in Manila
24.02.2022
Owing to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments as well as the community quarantine measures imposed in Metro Manila, the number of Schengen and national visa applications is accepted to a limited extent until the situation stabilizes.
Depending on epidemiological risk associated with the further spread of COVID-19, we reserve the right to make other changes at the schedule of the Embassy work.
All applicants for Schengen visa and long stay national visa may apply at the Polish Visa Application Center (VAC) in Manila.
The VFS Global company offers assistance throughout the process of applying for Schengen as well as national Polish visas, from submitting the documents, until collecting the passport when the visa decision is issued. Please check VFS Global’s website for more information or contact them directly via phone or e-mail.
