CamelCase:



It's very much advisable not to use a foreign sponsor due to difficulty faced by the embassy verifying foreign sponsor..

It's advisable to use a Local sponsor.

Abydupank:

Souzin:

Bro. Good morning.
Just came across your post.
Please can you give detailed step by step process of how you did everything to get to Poland.
I want to start my own process for masters.

Abydupank:


I'm a sis.
Applied for admission
Got admission
Legalised documents at foreign affairs and education
Applied visa
Got visa
And travelled...

hunee:

Please If I may ask. How long does it take to get TRC?

Abydupank:

Souzin:

My apologies sis.
What of accommodation? How did you go about it?
Total spend?

Abydupank:

My agent told me that embassy does not accept school accommodation except there is receipt for payment. As my school did not accept payment before arrival for accommodation, so I did Noclegi.pl and also got a contract from a Landlord I met on Facebook marketplace.

Abydupank:

From what I know, depends on your city and who is filing for you.. usually it takes 3-6 months to get a decision.

hunee:
3-6 months for a resident permit? Wow

Abydupank:

It's just a temporary residence card o.
And it's based on work and accommodation. So you must have a work permit and a place to live I.e you have a house contract...

hunee:
I quite understand right.
I know.
I appreciate the fact that you always respond and assist others since you traveled.
You are genuinely appreciated and i hope others can take a cue from youThat been said, let me ask you a very direct question. For instance now, Work permit and Contract for work(others is available), but as a result of difficulty getting an appointment for work visa via Poland Abuja, You are able to secure Schengen visa for another country. Can the person enter Poland, and use these documents to process a TRC directly?

Will this option be appropriate as against waiting longer times for appointment from Nigeria.
Your honest opinion will be appreciated.

Abydupank:


I have met two guys from North Korea here, who escaped to China, and found there way to Kazakhstan and then somehow to Poland.. they didn't even come with visas. They just came here, did menial jobs for cash, saved and bought work permits and have a legal stay.

So yes it is possible to just enter France (easiest visa to get in nigeria) and just fly to Poland, apply your trc, do your biometric and then fly back to Paris and wait for text when your TRC is ready then return back to Poland to take.. many naija boys have been doing this..

hunee:
You have communicated a very vital information that some have ceased to communicate here. I have always wondered that ,the work permit allows you to work, as though with a schengen visa, you can enter the region(Poland), Process a TRC and return to initial base. Thank you for this update. It is deeply appreciated.
But if one is issued a month visa to schengen region(France) and like you said, the trc takes 3-6 months, do you advise them to staybac, which may lead to overstay or illegal stay or betterstill to resume work directly in Poland.


OR

They should return to Nigeria, and wait for their TRC to be issued and parceled down.

Which do you advise in this case as someone on ground?

Abydupank:


First Poland won't parcel your TRC outside Poland except to the Polish address which you submitted its contract when you applied for the TRC.
Also, u don't overstay as long as you have the TRC stamp inside your passport.. it stands in lieu of Visas. Nobody will hold u as an overstayer as long as the trc application sticker is in your passport.
I have done researching since I arrived here.

hunee:
You are absolutely very correct with the informations.

Look at what i read,

"If a foreigner files an application for a temporary residence permit during their legal stay in Poland and if the application is completed in full, the Voivode places a stamp in the travel document of the foreigner confirming that an application for granting a temporary residence permit has been filed. This stamp legalises the stay of the foreigner in Poland (even in the event of expiry of the visa or of the previous residence card) until the date of issuing a decision on the residence card, and in the case of an appeal against a negative decision until the moment when the decision made upon appeal i.e. by the Head of the Office for Foreigners) becomes binding"

Note The aforementioned stamp does not entitle the foreigner to travel to other Schengen countries or EU Member States. Pursuant to the stamp in the passport the foreigner may leave for their country of origin, although they may not return to Poland with the stamp – in order to re-enter Poland, the foreigner should obtain a visa.
