The Polish Foreign Ministry reports that it will terminate cooperation with all visa outsourcing providers. Submitting a Polish visa application using services of external visa centers will not be permitted. This applies to the countries where visas were not accepted directly at the consular sections of the embassies.
It is currently not confirmed how Polish visas will be processed in places where presence of Polish consular officers is little or doesn’t exist at all.
