Nostrification for Bachelor's Degree Applicants in Poland: New Visa Requirements
Planning to pursue your Bachelor's degree in Poland? Important changes to student visa regulations came into effect in August 2024. Now, all applicants for Bachelor's programs must have their high school diplomas nostrified to obtain a student visa. While many universities will conditionally accept students without nostrification for enrollment purposes, the official confirmation of equivalence is mandatory for the visa application.

This new regulation ensures that international qualifications meet Polish educational standards, streamlining the visa process and ensuring a smoother transition for students. It's a crucial step in securing your legal stay in Poland for your studies.
