Study in Poland for International Students
Poland is one of Europe’s most practical study destinations for international students who want a realistic path into Europe without Western-level tuition costs. If your goal is an English-taught degree or a structured Polish language track, we help you choose the right route, plan your documentation, and understand the true costs upfront.

You choose the city and study track. We help you execute the enrollment process and plan the legal stay strategy. For official study information in Poland, start here.
Nationwide support. One standardized process, adapted to your local requirements.
Typical tuition: around $2,000–$6,000 per year for many English-taught programs (specialized degrees can be higher).
Comfortable living budget (Warsaw/Kraków): roughly $500–$900 per month, depending on housing and lifestyle.
We help you plan the full picture: tuition, living costs, insurance, and immigration fees, based on your city and pathway.
If you enroll in full-time university studies and file your Temporary Residence Card (TRC) application early, some students receive decisions in about 4–6 months in faster offices (best-case, not guaranteed). After TRC approval, many students can then register a JDG (sole trader) and work legally on a B2B basis.
If you’re not in full-time university studies, the business incubator pathway can be the alternative route (work permit timelines apply).

Choose the plan that matches your passport, timeline, and how much you want to delegate. If you hold a Non-Visa-Free passport or unsure about documents, funds, or English level, start with a consultation.
Note: We don’t guarantee university admission, visa issuance, or residence decisions. We give you the plan, the structure, and the support to execute correctly.
We don’t promise outcomes that depend on universities, consulates, or immigration offices. We do give you the correct sequence, realistic costs, and the support to execute properly.
After you arrive, choose optional support to reduce stress, avoid mistakes, and keep your case moving.
Universities decide admissions. Consulates decide visas. Immigration offices decide residence permits. Our job is to make your case clean, complete, and correctly sequenced so you avoid preventable rejections and delays.
Poland gives international students a rare combination: credible education, real affordability, and a pathway that can support longer-term legal stay when done correctly.
You’re not buying a fantasy. You’re choosing a country where the process is structured, the costs can be planned upfront, and the outcome can be built step-by-step.
Poland is one of the most affordable legal study bases in Europe, but only if you plan the full budget: tuition, living costs, insurance, and immigration fees.
Comfortable Warsaw/Kraków ranges (monthly):
Exact costs depend on city, season, and housing standard.
Visa fees and consulate requirements vary by country.
Adults who want a structured study plan in Poland with realistic costs, and who want to reduce visa, admissions, and arrival mistakes.
If you want the safest route for your passport, book a consultation.
Two main tracks: English-taught university studies and an 18-month Polish language course.
We help you choose based on your passport, timeline, and long-term goals.
We support applicants from most nationalities. Entry rules and consulate scrutiny depend on your passport.
If you are visa-required, credibility and document strength matter more.
It depends on your passport and intended length of stay. Many visa-required passports must apply for a visa before travel.
Many visa-free passports can enter short-term, but we often recommend a Type-D strategy for longer timelines.
Visa-free entry is simpler, but it can limit timelines and create admin pressure.
A Type-D route is usually more structured for longer stays, especially if you want to move fast after arrival.
You generally need: education documents (A-level equivalent for many degree paths), the ability to show funds, and correct documentation.
For many English-taught programs, B2 English proof is required if not from a native-English speaking country.
Many programs require B2. Accepted certificates vary by institution.
If you need official proof, we can register you through our licensed exam pathway: LanguageCert. (Use code A92577 for 5% off)
We operate as a licensed LanguageCert registration centre. You can register via our official pathway here: LanguageCert. (Use code A92577 for 5% off)

Many schools respond quickly when documents are complete. Typical admissions timelines can be around 1–2 weeks, but it varies.
If timing is critical, start with Student Pathway Plan.
Many English-taught degrees are priced in the low thousands per year. Specialized fields can be higher.
We build a clear tuition fee plan in USD inside Admissions Support and Student Pathway Plan.
A comfortable budget usually depends on housing style. Shared accommodation reduces costs significantly compared to studios.
We plan “minimum” and “comfortable” budgets so you don’t underfund your move.
Work rights depend on your legal basis and study type.
Full-time university study is typically the cleanest structure. Language study routes do not automatically grant work rights and may require a separate permit. You can also check our Freelance program > Incubator Immigration Package.
For many full-time university cases, the clearer pathway is: arrive → submit your residence plan early → once your residence card is issued, you may be eligible to register a JDG.
If you are not in full-time university, the business incubator route may apply (work permit timelines apply).
See: Freelancing Program.
As early as possible once your documents and address steps are ready. Waiting creates avoidable delays.
