Important Notice Regarding National Visa Work Appointment Slots via BLS International
Dear Applicants,
This notice is intended for all applicants applying for Polish National Visas from the Philippines.
We are aware of the recent challenges many applicants have faced in securing appointment slots through our service provider, BLS International. Please be informed of the following clarifications to address these concerns:
1. Appointment Allocation Process
Appointment slots are allocated based on the directives of the Embassy and are released on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants can schedule or reschedule appointments according to the guidelines provided on the BLS International website for Poland Visa Application Centers (https://blspolandvisa.com/).
2. BLS International's Role
It is important to note that BLS International does not control or influence the number of daily appointment slots released. The organization’s role is limited to facilitating the application process as per the instructions provided by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Manila.
3. Unauthorized Sale of Appointment Slots
We have received reports of unauthorized third parties or establishments selling appointment slots. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Manila strongly condemns such fraudulent activities and advises applicants not to engage with or support these intermediaries. BLS International does not endorse or participate in any such practices.
4. Complaint Resolution
While we understand the frustration these challenges may cause, we kindly request that complaints related to slot availability not be directed toward BLS International, as their control over slot allocation ceases once they are publicly released. Accusations of fraudulent behaviour against BLS International are without basis.
5. No. of Appointment Slots
The Embassy has already informed many applicants directly in replies to their e-mails that the number of visa appointments released for each day/week/month is limited which combined with extremely high demands can cause unavailability of slots. Booking of appointments for visa applications to Poland is only possible through the BLS International website for Poland Visa Application Centers: https://blspolandvisa.com/ and the service fee for application processing charged by BLS International amounts only to 400-500PHP.
Both the Polish Embassy and BLS International empathize with the difficulties faced by applicants and remain committed to working together to enhance the visa application process. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we strive to find sustainable solutions to address these challenges, however at the moment the Embassy does not have any possibilities to secure any additional visa appointments.
Your understanding and support in this matter are greatly valued.
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards,
Tomasz Danel
Consul
