November

You grew to like out university so much that you consider staying here one more semester?

Students coming for the first semester have the possibility of applying for an extension of stay for the second semester. First of all, you need the approval of your home university and of the mobility coordinator of your receiving unit.

In order to apply for extension, you have to submit the Extension Form signed by the Mobility Coordinator of your receiving unit at UW and the coordinator at your home University. 

The application deadline is November 30th. 

The same applies to those students who wish to shorten their stay from full academic year to one semester. Collect the signatures of the Mobility Coordinator of your receiving unit at UW and the coordinator at your home University and submit the form by November 30th.

• Citizen of European Union can enter Poland and stay within its territory up to 3 months (90 days) on the basis of valid travel document (passport) or other valid document confirming his/her identity and citizenship. If you stay in Poland longer than 3 months (and as a short-term student you come to UW for at least one semester), then you need to register your stay to make it legal.

More information on the procedure can be found on the website of UW Welcome Point. There is also a contact person dedicated solely to legalisation issues – please write to welcome.legalisation@uw.edu.pl.

• Citizens of non-EU countries may enter Poland and stay within its territory on a basis of Schengen or national visa. Visa is issued by a consul before arrival to Poland (there is no possibility to obtain one upon entry). Visa is usually issued for the whole duration of your mobility in Poland, which means that if you have visa, then your whole stay at the University of Warsaw is legal.
