TRP-Study — Temporary Residence Permit - Studies

The Temporary Residence Permit for Studies enables international students to reside legally in Poland while pursuing full-time degree programs at recognized universities. Formally established under the Act on Foreigners, this permit streamlines admission for non-EU nationals seeking bachelor's, master's, or doctoral education.

Initial permits are valid for 15 months; renewals extend up to 3 years (capped to study duration plus 3 months). Processing takes 60 days. Work authorization is granted for part-time employment. Applicants need financial capacity (9,312 PLN income, 2,500 PLN savings) and university enrollment. The permit is renewable for the entire program duration.

This visa is ideal for non-EU international students pursuing full-time degrees at Polish universities with secured funding and demonstrated financial self-sufficiency.
