Temporary residence permit for job search

Post-study

Poland has become a practical first choice for cost-conscious students from Mumbai and Bangalore: tuition of €2,000–€5,000 a year sits alongside some of the lowest living costs in the European Union. The visa is also among the quickest in Europe, which suits applicants who finalise admission close to the intake.

Degrees in medicine, dentistry and engineering are EU-recognised, so a Polish qualification carries weight far beyond the country itself and travels well across the bloc.

Document attestation for a Polish application from India

Apply directly to Polish institutions, then have your degree certificates and mark sheets attested through the Ministry of External Affairs and translated into Polish or English, with a WES evaluation if a programme requests one. The National Visa D/05 is lodged at the Embassy of Poland in New Delhi, so plan your appointment around the academic calendar once your letter of admission is confirmed.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and staying on to work

Living costs of roughly €500–€800 a month make Poland one of the cheapest EU options, and you need to show around €6,000 for the year. The D/05 visa is typically decided in just 2–4 weeks. Indian students can apply for the Polish Government Scholarship, NAWA programmes or Erasmus+, and after graduation you can apply for a temporary residence permit to search for work in Poland.
