Info

Non-EU/EEA Citizens – A citizen of a non-EU/EEA country can enter the territory of Poland on the basis of a valid travel document (passport) and a visa (if required). A citizen of a non-EU country has to obtain the visa from the consulate of Poland in his/her country of residence. The short-term visa entitles residence in Poland up to 3 months, the long-term visa – up to 1 year. The prolongation of visa in Poland is only possible in case of a force majeure or situation impossible to foresee while applying for the visa in the consulate. The visa can be prolonged only once. It is therefore necessary to apply for a visa in a consulate for the whole planned period of stay in Poland. For details please contact the Polish Consulate in your country. Persons who have received a visa for the whole period of stay in Poland ARE NOT obliged to apply for a residence permit for their stay in Poland. • get insurance: EU citizens: students from the EU countries will be asked to present insurance documentation (standard E-111 and E-128 forms) Non-EU citizens: There is a possibility to apply for public health insurance with the same conditions as Poles according to the law concerning the Polish national health system dated July 20, 2001. The monthly rate of the insurance is approximately PLN 35. Students of Polish origin have the right to have their insurance costs refunded. Because the formalities may take up to three weeks when choosing this opportunity, you are asked to be insured for this period when coming to Poland. After signing a contract with NFZ (the authority that contracts medical services), visits to the doctors as well as any hospitalisation in the public medical service (only) are free. However, most of dental or optical work is not covered. Visits to the private medical centres (unless they have signed contract with NFZ) and prescriptions are not covered either, and they are your own responsibility. Students interested in this kind of insurance are asked to contact the incoming students’ officer at SGH upon arrival. More information can be found on the webpage of the National Health Fund http://www.nfz.gov.pl/ue/?katnr=5&dzialnr=2&artnr=716&czartnr=2. Also… • It is recommended to bring your International Student Identification Card (ISIC). The card is recognised in Poland, and can be helpful when purchasing international train, flying tickets or entering museums. With an ISIC Card you are also entitled to buy Warsaw public transport tickets at a 48% discount. There is an opportunity to obtain the card in Poland after presenting a regular Polish student ID, which you will get upon arrival to SGH. ISIC Cards are available at “Almatur” Travel Offices. • Motor vehicle drivers should possess a valid local or international driver’s license. For vehicles not registered in the EU, “green card” insurance is necessary. 10
