Where do I apply for the visa?

Student visas for Bangladeshi citizens are handled by the Polish Embassy in New Delhi. Arrangements change, so we confirm where to apply and book the appointment once your admission is confirmed.

Why are Polish student visas refused?

Common reasons are doubts about the purpose of study, weak evidence of funds and missing language proof. The consulate checks these closely, so we prepare every document with you and practise the interview.

Can I work while I study?

Only at universities that meet the state requirements introduced in December 2025. Plan your budget without relying on part-time income, and we check the rules for every university we suggest.

A Polish residence permit lets you visit other Schengen countries for short stays.
