Temporary residence permit for job search

Post-study

Poland has become a practical first choice for cost-conscious students from Ho Chi Minh City: 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.

Legalising Vietnamese documents for a Polish application

Apply directly to Polish institutions, then have your MOET-issued school and university certificates legalised and translated into Polish or English for recognition. The National Visa D/05 is lodged at the Polish Embassy in Hanoi, and because Poland is not yet represented by a consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, southern applicants should plan travel or courier arrangements for the appointment.

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. Vietnamese 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.
