The new system is designed to allocate appointment dates in chronological order based on the registration date. This means that individuals who register earlier will be assigned an appointment date sooner to submit their application for a short-term Polish Schengen visa.
New System Consists of 3 Stages That Require
Applicants to Provide Correct Information
The application process through the new e-konsulat system consists of three stages. Applicants are strongly advised to carefully follow all instructions and complete the required fields within the specified timeframes.
Additionally, applicants are urged to provide accurate information, particularly regarding the name and contact details of the host person or company in the Schengen area.
If this is not applicable, applicants should ensure they provide the correct name, address, and phone number of the hotel where they will be staying.
Please ensure that all required fields in the visa application form are completed accurately, with particular attention to the following:
- Name of the host person or company in the Schengen area, along with the contact details of the person in the host company.
- If this is not applicable, please provide the name of the hotel, its address, and telephone number, or a temporary address in the Schengen area along with a telephone number.
For further information, visit the official website of Poland in the UAE.
Once the information is submitted, applicants will not be able to make any changes or corrections to the information that they have provided.
Appointment Dates Will Be Assigned Twice a Week
According to the authorities, the new system will assign appointment dates twice a week. Applicants will receive information about their visa interview via email, with appointment dates assigned based on the order in which they submitted their details to the system.
These new procedures apply only to foreign nationals residing in the UAE who require a visa to enter the Schengen Area. UAE passport holders are exempt from the Schengen visa requirement and can enter the Schengen Area visa-free.
