At the Alfred Education Group, we strive to ensure a comfortable educational experience in Poland for international students from start to finish. Through the years of our work with students and universities, we have developed 6 steps for a fast and easy admission process. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, feel free to contact us via email or phone at any time. 

Step 1. Apply Online

If you have already chosen the university and faculty of your dreams, the information about the tuition fees is clear to you, and you are willing to study in Poland. You can easily apply online by filling out the application form on our website. If you have any questions about Poland, universities, or educational programs – feel free to contact our managers. Alfred Education Group’s dedicated team will answer all your questions and help you choose the best option for you! 

Step 2. Send Documents

To start your admission process, you need to send us the following documents:

• Filled Application Form;
• Copy of Passport or ID;
• Recent Passport/ID Photo (required by some universities);
• School Certificate;
• Apostille (in case your country is a member of Hague convention https://www.hagueapostille.co.uk/hague-members);
• Or legalization of the school diploma and transcript in the consulate of the country they are applying for;
• The Official Academic Transcripts of previously attended colleges and universities;
• English Language Certificate (some universities accept documents about previously finished education in English). 

Step 3. Pass Interview

Polish universities require international students to pass interviews as part of the admission process. Depending on the university you choose, you may either participate in a live online interview or submit a pre-recorded interview. The interview process allows the university to assess your qualifications, motivation, and suitability for the program. It is an important step to ensure that you meet the academic and language requirements necessary for successful study in Poland. Prepare thoroughly to make a strong impression. Additionally, some universities may require you to pass the entrance test. Note that this step may be unnecessary for some universities! 

Step 4. Get an Invitation Letter

To receive an Invitation Letter from the Polish university, students will first be provided with a Pre-acceptance Letter with instructions for paying the admission fee (required by several universities). The applicant’s documents are submitted to the Ministry of National Education of Poland, enabling the issuance of a letter of information and an invoice for the payment of first-year tuition fees. First-year students must pay the tuition fees in full to obtain the Invitation Letter. Once the tuition fee is fully paid, the invitation letter will be issued. 

There is a list of documents to be sent in order to obtain an Invitation Letter: 

• Copy of the International Passport;
• Filled Application Form;
• Payment Slip Covering Tuition Fee for One Academic Year.

Available payment methods include bank transfer, Western Union, and MoneyGram. Ensure all documents are clearly legible, scanned properly, and double-checked before sending! 

Invitations typically take 3-7 days to be confirmed in Poland.

Step 5. Obtain a VISA

Non-EU/EEA citizens need a Visa to enter Latvia! 

After getting an Invitation Letter you will have to contact the Polish Embassy in your country. To get your VISA approved you will have to prepare the following documents: 

• Student Visa Application Form;
• Recent Passport-Sized Photo;
• Valid Passport;
• University Admission Letter;
• Proof of Financial Means;
• Proof of Accommodation;
• Visa Fee Payment Receipt;
• Student Health Insurance.

Step 6. Arrive in Poland

Alfred Education Group notifies the government of Poland about your arrival with an official letter so please be sure to notify us in advance about your arrival in Poland! At passport control, the Border Service officer will verify if the official representative from Alfred Education Group mentioned in your letter is there to meet you. During border control, you will be asked to provide details about the university you are attending, the faculty you’ve enrolled in, and who is picking you up at the airport. 

Please note! If you fail to inform us of your arrival in Poland in advance, you will be deported back to your home country.
