Poljska u Crnoj Gori

If you plan to stay in Poland or other Schengen countries for a maximum of 90 days in each 180-day period of time, choose a Schengen visa (C-Type). 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 will help you count how long you can stay in Schengen countries.

 

You can apply for a Schengen visa in a Polish Consulate in Podgorica if:

• 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;
• you do not know which Schengen country will be your main destination, but you cross the Schengen border for the first time in Poland.

All visa appointntments have to be booked via e-consulate system: https://secure.e-konsulat.gov.pl/

Visa application form must be submitted in person. We do not accept application forms sent via fax, regular mail or e-mail.

Please note:

• You can apply for a visa in a Polish Consulate in Podgorica if Montenegro is a place of your residence.
• Usually, the above documents are enough to receive a visa, however, the consul may require additional documents.
• Apply for a visa not earlier than six months before your planned journey.
• The consul may, but does not have to, invite the applicant for an interview.
• You may be banned from entering any of the Schengen States, if you present forged documents or provide false information.
• Receiving the visa does not guarantee that you will enter the Schengen area - the final decision is always made by the authorities of the country where you intend to cross the Schengen area border.

If you have received a decision to revoke or cancel your Schengen visa that you do not agree with, you have the right to ask for a reconsideration. However, if you have applied yourself for your Schengen visa to be revoked and the consul has agreed, you are not entitled to appeal. You should apply for reconsideration within 14 days of receiving the decision to cancel or revoke your Schengen visa at the consular post that issued the decision.

If the consul who examines your reconsideration request, issues a new decision to refuse, cancel or revoke your visa, which you do not agree with, you have the right to submit a complaint to the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw. The complaint should be forwarded through the consul who made the decision, within 30 days of receiving the decision taken as a result of the re-examination. You do not pay a consular fee for submitting a complaint to the consul, but you have to pay fees for proceedings before administrative courts. Therefore, you have to note that the court will ask you to pay the court fee. More information on the amount of court fees when appealing with the administrative court, possibility to apply for an exemption from the costs and the language of the procedure, is available at: http://bip.warszawa.wsa.gov.pl/133/wpis-sadowy-zasady-dokonywania-wpisu.html
