Advantages and disadvantages of obtaining a visa to Poland through the consulate
The main advantages of the technique:
- Private filing exempts
the applicant
from
paying
a service fee
. Unlike the visa fee, this amount is charged to each applicant, including young children, disabled people, and socially vulnerable categories of citizens. - The applicant gains invaluable experience in ordering Schengen visas
and in the future will be able to contact the embassies of other EU member states without fear and uncertainty. - No need to rely on the services of third parties, worry about maintaining the privacy policy
.
There are many more disadvantages to applying independently through the consulate. Below are the main ones:
- The Poland visa application form must be filled out in local or English
. A level of knowledge of a foreign dialect from upper-intermediate and above is required. Everyone else will have to independently find accredited translators and pay for their services from their own wallet. - When applying through the visa center, lawyers check the correctness of each document. They check the documentation for errors, correct blots and other shortcomings. The applicant may not pay attention to many nuances due to his own legal illiteracy. Errors in official papers
automatically
lead to a refusal
to issue a Schengen entry permit. - Given the unstable political situation between the Russian side and the EU countries, entry requirements may change without warning
. Modern people do not have enough free time to regularly monitor updates to migration legislation. The changes concern both details and the entire process of obtaining entry documents.
When ordering a visa not through the consulate, but through an accredited visa center, the chance of receiving the required document increases to 99%.
For those who have not previously completed such paperwork, we recommend the turnkey visa service. Taking into account the consular fee, service fee, payment for services for creating medical insurance, translation and certification of documentation, the average cost
treatment will cost
from 70 to 100 euros
