Question about Visa to Poland...help!?
Question about Visa to Poland...help!?
I am studying abroad in Poland next year, and I am in the process of applying for a student multiple entry visa. I don't understand the schengen area though...it says on my instructions that "this kind of visa does not entitle the holder to travel through the schengen area." what does this mean? does it mean I can't go there at all? or can I still get in with my passport? help!! I really want to visit some of those countries!

A Schengen tourist visa (type C) issued for a period of up to 90 days allows traveling to all Schengen countries which are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (to include Monaco), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy (to include San Marino and Vatican City), Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. A national visa (type D) is issued for longer periods than 90 days and only allows to enter the country of issue (Poland) and a prior transit of up to five days through other Schengen countries in order to reach the final destination on the shortest possible route. The student visa you get will state valid for "Poland" and will be a type D. You cannot travel to other Schengen countries during your time of studies unless you hold a passport of a country which is visa exempted for the Schengen countries for tourist purposes of up to 90 days within a 180 day period. Those countries are: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela. If you should have another citizenship you should apply for a Schengen tourist visa (type C) from your home country at the embassy of the Schengen country you plan to visit. An application from Poland to other Schengen countries would only be possible if you hold a Polish student visa valid for longer than 180 days and not shorter than 3 months before the expiration of your Polish student visa.
