The UK is not party to the Schengen agreement. If you want to apply for a Schengen visa, you should do so at the Embassy of the country which is your main destination, even if it is not the country you are entering first Your question is a little confusing as you are issued with a Schengen visa alongside a work or student visa in a Schengen country. Are you perhaps exaggerating? Schengen visas are valid for six months and allow you a maximum stay of 90 days within the Schegen countries. You must have at least three months validity remaining on your student visa on the date of your return from holiday to be able to apply for a Schengen visa from the UK.

If you're going for school I think you get a student visa. That's what I did when I went to India. You have to ask the person running the program cause I don't know how it's done in Kuwait.
2 :
They accept American Visa..

Well if you are going to stay longer in Poland you have to apply for Polish visa. There is nothing like "European union visa", Poland is the member of Schengen treaty, which means that once you have a visa to one of EU countries, you can travel freely to other countries as well. But if you're flying directly to Poland, I guess you need Polish visa. Regarding the Embassy - there is Polish embassy (or consulate, I'm not sure) in Kuwait!!! I found the following info: Embassy / High Comission / Consulate for Kuwait Office : Embassy Street Address : Area No 8, Street No. 20, House No. 377 Postal Address : PO Box 5066 ZIP Code : 13501 City : Safat State : Safat Country : Kuwait Telephone : (+965) 5311571, 5311572 Faximile : (+965) 5311576, 5311578 Email : polamba@qualitynet.net Website : www.polambakuw.gov.kw

1 :
Then choose Krakow:) the people here a very friendly, lots of people speak english, and its very close to Zakopane, which would be a perfect place for you to go camping as it has mountains and many forests. Theres plenty to do and see in the city, but if you find city life boring you can always easily get out of the city for awhile as the who region of Malopolska (where the city of Krakow is located) is very beautiful, and well known for its forests and mountains.
2 :
I would have to agree with Nightfang as it ticks all the boxes you ;have mentioned, however I do know for example that in Lublin where my wife's cousin trained as a Doctor there were many Arab students training there.
3 :
I'd choose Gdańsk, Kraków or Wrocław. As for Arabs, there are many in Warsaw, but if you don't like city life, there's not much to do there. Gdańsk and Wrocław are much more quiet and cozy (but still big cities), with many cultural activities, monuments and many students. And pleasant surroundings too, great places to camp - but no mountains. So, Kraków may be the best place. Nightfang listed the reasons - I would add Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska, the region just north of Kraków, abundant in hills, rivers,caves, and castles or ruins of them. There's even a desert!

here is the map of Poland w/the cities u are offered to go to: http://www.wordtravels.com/images/map/Poland_map.jpg so look at it and then u will have the general idea of where u wud be send to, keep in mind that we have mountains in the southern area n since u dont like the city life u may want to go to either WrocÅ‚aw or Kraków cos these cities are close to the mountains (Kraków is closer to bigger mountains) both cities are close to the boarders w/Czech Rep n Slovakia so u can be tempted to go there as well when u have some spare time =) as for being close to other countries, as u see in the map, Szczecin is close to Germany, Lublin- Belarus/Ukraine n BiaÅ‚ystok-Belarus GdaÅ„sk is a nice city too cos its by the sea n its pretty as well, there are many foreigners visiting esp durin summer, Warsaw is multicultural there are many different nations there as for the foreign exchange students there are many of em everywhere my cousin is in WrocÅ‚aw (medical school) n she says there are many foreigners but in general we have many foreigners studyin in Poland as exchange students so i bet u wudnt feel alone in here u like the nature but u will be livin in a city so even if u go to Kraków n u will be so close to Zakopane (-mountains, which is our so called winter capital) it doesnt mean u will have time or possibility of goin there n be so close to the nature, maybe u shud be focused on parks n alike? or maybe u wud prefer goin to the less populated city out of all of these? u gotta think bout it =) we have many forests n parks everywhere, just check the sites read bout the cities n choose sth, i dont think that u cud get any answer sayin "go to the city X" ppl from WrocÅ‚aw will recommend u that city, ppl from Kraków will tell u to go to Kraków so its not that reliable right? =) u shud check the univs (their websites if u dont have any info privided by the ortanization who is gonna send u to Poland) n see if there is sth in particular univ u like n the other univs lack it, but if u r into nature as i said we have forests here and alike so it shudnt be a problem to go there n relax =) also i think u will be too busy w/studies to rest much anyway so u wont be able to go camping too often BiaÅ‚ystok http://www.bialystok.pl/site.php?s=MDE4MDI5&lng=en there is a national park nearby BiaÅ‚ystok called BiaÅ‚owieża http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bia%C5%82owie%C5%BCa_National_Park Bydgoszcz http://www.bydgoszcz.eu/ GdaÅ„sk http://www.gdansk.pl/en/ Kraków http://www.krakow.pl/en/?chl=EN Lublin http://www.um.lublin.eu/en/index.php?t=200&id=18284 Åódź (didnt find a site for this city in English, http://www.lodzcity.pl/) PoznaÅ„ http://www.poznan.pl/mim/public/turystyka/index.html?lang=en Szczecin http://www.szczecin.pl/inwestor/uk/index.html Katowice http://www.um.katowice.pl/en/index.php Warszawa http://www.warsawtour.pl/index.php?lang=5&id=& WrocÅ‚aw http://www.wroclaw.pl/ms/english/ go also to wikipedia n get to know some more there bout the cities then decide =)
5 :
I would recommend Szczecin, Krakow, or Warszawa. Szczecin is a pretty small town and are very friendly there. It's also very quiet there. Krakow is also a pretty good town, and Warszawa is the capital of Poland, so I would recommend it but you dont want to be by a city, but there are a few Arab people there. So overall, I would suggest Szczecin. (I'm 100% Polish)
6 :
Wroclaw has a great Medical school. There are many Muslim people living there.- You can find Islamic communities. :) http://www.info.am.wroc.pl/ed/index1024.html http://www.am.wroc.pl/ http://www.islam.info.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=149&Itemid=8
7 :
Wroclaw has muslim people there. Krakow is a nice city to settle in it is right by Zakopane. Zakopane is a mountain/forest area. Warszawa is also a city. They are all very beautiful places. Have fun on your trip!
8 :
If you study Medicine, choose Krakow or Wrocław. In both of these cities the medical universities are the best, you can be sure. Don't worry about your origin! In Kraków and Wrocław, both big cities, nobody cares about it and as somebody has already said, there are many Islamic communities. I would say Kraków is more friendly and calm [a peaceful city with loooong tradition, really friendly people and helpful. I think Wrocław is a city where there are more foreigners. Both cities are near mountain ranges [Wrocław near Sudety, Kraków near Tatry]. I would also say that Kraków is a bit cheaper to live. In concluse.... check Kraków. It has got a very old medicine University, they keep a bit higher level than in other cities in Poland. Good luck! :)

Krakow! Warszawa is the capital so you can imagine it's a city

How difficult is it to be accepted into Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland in the medical school?
How difficult is it to be accepted into Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland in the medical school?
I am an American citizen, whose parents both were born in Poland. Since, I would like to reconnect with my roots, I am wondering how hard is it to get into the Medical school in UJ. I am a highschool student, who is going to be a senior this fall. Also, are there any other medical schools in Poland? Please, keep in mind: that I would like to study medicine in the English language, not in Polish. Thank you!

This is an overall bad idea for following reasons: - I'm not aware of a course in medical school that would be entirely in English, - if you don't have Polish citizenship you will have to pay a lot for tuition, - after completion you won't be able to practice medicine, in Poland you will need to undergo further apprenticeship to be able to practice medicine - can't imagine being able to do so without speaking passable Polish, elsewhere else including the US you will need your qualifications from Poland re-evaluated, - last but not least medicine is one of most corrupt professions in Poland - it is normal and encouraged by the medical community that sons/daughters of doctors enter the profession - others have all kinds of informal difficulties. If I may suggest so I propose that reconsider this and think of other ways of reconnecting with your Polish roots that will not impede your chances of having a career in the medical profession and won't leave a bad aftertaste.

What is the least expensive/easiest way to visit Poland?
What is the least expensive/easiest way to visit Poland?
I am a 20 year old college student from California, and I'm looking to visit Poland, and to research records and places of my Gruszka family from Pultusk, Poland. They were Ashkenazim who were murdered by the Nazi's. What is the easiest and least expensive way for me to visit? Anyone in Poland looking for some company to show around? Almost more importantly is the issue of- what do I do about a place to stay?

The most expensive item should be the air ticket - you should research all special offers, etc. Pułtusk is quite close to Warsaw (about forty miles), so getting there should be fairly easy and cheap.
2 :
There are plenty of hotels in Poland some of them are even named "Holiday INN". You want the cheepest way talk to your parents and see if you have any living family members still in Poland. I'm sure there must be some great aunt or uncle, another way is to look up parishes on the internet contacting them of what you want - to find your family. Church records usually go way back and priests usually speak english. But I would advise that you find your contact before you leave the states.

Hang around awhile and hope that Genevieve's Mom sees your question. Now, I don't know if her husband and children would let her go to Poland with you but she probably can give you some great tips and advice. She is our Polish and Eastern Europe expert. However, she is usually on the genealogy or the history board. So you might reask your question there and address it to her. She is very very nice and helpful. I think she answered one of your questions on the genealogy board. You can email her through her avatar. According to some cousins of my grandfather, we lost almost everyone in Poland during the Warsaw uprising. The above poster mention churches and she might have not realized that Ashkenazim are Jewish. However, I was told by a Mormon friend(they are experts on genealogy) that Jews were required to register their vital information with the local parish priest or pastor. Seraph said it was true but it is very difficult to get access to those records. Nevertheless, Jewish records can be found in Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran or Evangelical parishes. Hopefully they will eventually be opened up since so much was destroyed during the Holocaust.
