Students outside EU should apply for student visa prior the arrival, especially if they plan to take an internship. Getting the internship may require obtaining the work permit. We strongly advise you to contact local Polish embassy/consulate to learn more about application procedure relevant to your status. In some cases and places, issuing visa may take more time, so it is better to start this formality well in advance.
We are issuing a letter of acceptance to all students upon request, so if you need such a document, please contact our office immediately to obtain it.
For housing, please contact our incoming students officer who collects offers, your buddy or SGH Student Union
