Promises of studying without a visa and documents? It could be a scam.

In such cases, all efforts are wasted, leaving frustration and unfulfilled expectations. How to protect yourself when applying to a foreign university, prevent such a situation, and obtain a student visa to Poland?

- certificate confirming admission (issued by the university);
- proof of payment for tuition;
- documents proving the availability of funds for living expenses and possible return (credit card, bank card, account statement, scholarship award letter);
