Visa Types
Airport transit Schengen visa (A-Type)
choose this visa type if you plan to pass through an international transit area of a Schengen airport travelling with a passport of one of these states: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Sri Lanka.
Schengen visa (C-Type)
Choose this visa if you plan to stay in Poland or other Schengen countries for a maximum of 90 days in each 180-day period of time. This means that you are allowed to stay in the Schengen zone legally only if your stay in Schengen countries did not exceed 90 days over the last 180 days. A special calculator on the European Commission’s website Na stronie Komisji Europejskiej will help you count how long you can stay in Schengen countries.

Poland is the only destination country of your visit to the Schengen zone;
you visit more than one Schengen country, but Poland is your main destination;

In exceptional cases it is possible to issue a Schengen LTV visa which is valid only in the territory of selected Schengen states.
National visa (D-Type)
Choose this visa if you want to stay in Poland for more than 90 days. The validity of a national visa cannot exceed one year. You also need to apply for a national visa if you seek asylum, repatriation, or if you use Polish Card privileges.
