Temporary Residence Permit for Studies

Poland is an increasingly popular destination for international students due to its high-quality education system and affordable living costs. If you are a non-EU citizen enrolled in full-time studies in Poland, you should apply for a Temporary Residence Permit for the purpose of studying. This permit not only legalizes your stay but also offers significant freedom.

Eligibility Criteria

You must be enrolled in a full-time degree program (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD) or a preparatory course for studies in the Polish language at a recognized university.

Required Documentation

The application requires specific proofs:

• University Acceptance: A certificate from the university confirming your enrollment, the duration of studies, and payment of tuition fees (if applicable).
• Proof of Funds: You must demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition, living expenses (rent + daily costs), and return travel to your home country. This is often the most scrutinized part of the application.
• Health Insurance: Valid insurance covering medical costs in Poland (e.g., NFZ voluntary insurance or a private policy).

Work Rights for Students

One of the biggest advantages of the Student TRC is that it grants full access to the labor market. As a full-time student with this permit, you can work part-time or full-time without needing a separate work permit. This allows you to gain valuable professional experience and support yourself financially while you study. J&R Consult helps students navigate the bureaucracy so they can focus on their education.
