Poland Visit Visa From Pakistan: Rs 29,597 Fee, e-Konsulat Booking and the Islamabad Embassy Checklist

Poland takes Schengen visa files at its own consular office in Islamabad. There is no walk-in, and the embassy warns that e-konsulat is the only official booking system. Any other website selling Polish visa appointments is not linked to the embassy.

Who should apply for a Poland Schengen visa

Apply to Poland for a stay of up to 90 days in any 180 days when Poland is your only or main destination, or when you do not know your main destination but will first enter the Schengen area in Poland. The C-type visa covers tourism, family, business, sport and medical visits.

A stay longer than 90 days needs a national D-type visa instead. Work in Poland also needs a D visa backed by a work permit, which the Poland work visa steps for Pakistanis cover. If you are only changing planes at a Polish airport, you need the separate A-type airport transit visa.

Poland visa fee and decision time

The Polish Embassy in Islamabad charges Rs 29,597 for a Schengen visa application. The fee is not refunded if the visa is refused. The consul decides within 15 calendar days, and up to 45 days in exceptional cases or when other Schengen states must be consulted.

The fee is set in rupees and paid at the embassy. It follows the €90 Schengen fee, so the rupee figure can change with the exchange rate. Check the embassy's visa page before your appointment.

Extra papers for family, business and medical visits

A family visit needs a formal invitation called "Zaproszenie", issued by the local Polish authority (Urząd Wojewódzki) at your host's request. Business trips need the Polish company's invitation, your NTN and FBR tax proof, and Chamber of Commerce papers. Medical visits need letters from both doctors.

Family visit. Besides the Zaproszenie, a host who pays for your stay writes a sponsorship letter and attaches three months of bank statements, three salary slips, their last tax form and their ID or Polish residence card. Add the FRC to prove the family link.

Business visit. Bring your personal bank statements for six months, your National Tax Number certificate for two years and proof of income tax paid to FBR. Add the company's bank statements, its NTN, a current Chamber of Commerce certificate and the chamber's recommendation. The Polish company's invitation must also be sent straight to the embassy's visa section by fax or email.

Medical treatment. Bring a doctor's certificate saying you need the treatment, a letter from the Polish hospital confirming it can treat you, proof that you can pay for the treatment, and the correspondence between the two doctors or hospitals.

What to do if Poland refuses your visa

You can ask the same consular office to reconsider within 14 days of receiving the refusal. Hand in the request in person or through an authorised person, on a business day between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Requests sent by email or post are not considered.

Bring your valid passport, the signed appeal, the refusal and any new papers. The embassy's Schengen visa page lists a fee of Rs 29,597 for this request, and the decision takes 14 calendar days. If the consul refuses again, you can complain to the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw within 30 days, through the same consul. Court fees apply.

Before reapplying anywhere in the Schengen area, fix the reason given on the refusal. The Schengen visa rules for Pakistanis help you choose the right country for the next application.
