Service Scope

goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — supports Poland Schengen (Short‑Stay C) applications for Tourism, Visit, and Business purposes. We also provide advisory for Student and Family National (D) visas, including checklist review, appointment strategy, insurance compliance, and file quality checks.

❌ We Do NOT Process

Any work/job type visas. Polish work routes are employer‑sponsored — a work permit (e.g., Type A) is issued inside Poland by authorities before a visa can be granted. Avoid agents claiming guaranteed "job visas" without a Polish employer and work permit.

⚠️ Our Honest Approach

We assess every application honestly. Schengen visa success depends on clear purpose, consistent documents, adequate and traceable funds, valid insurance, and strong ties to Bangladesh. We'll tell you upfront if your case needs strengthening before applying.

Work/Job Visas — Read Before You Proceed

❌ goFLY Does NOT Process Work Visas

Poland work visa from Bangladesh is employer-sponsored only. A Polish work permit (e.g., Type A) is issued inside Poland by authorities BEFORE a visa can be granted. There is no official nationality-specific "approval ratio" published.

  • Process: Polish employer obtains work permit first → then you apply for work visa
  • No guaranteed packages: Avoid agents claiming "guaranteed job visas" without a legitimate Polish employer and work permit
  • Approval factors: Legitimate employer, valid permit, compliant documentation
⚠️ Scam Warning

Be extremely cautious of agents promising work visa packages without verified Polish employer sponsorship. Legitimate work visas ALWAYS start with a real job offer and work permit from Poland.

Embassy, Consulate, and Visa Center — Bangladesh Notes

⚠️ Intake Arrangements Change

Searches for "Poland embassy in Bangladesh," "Poland consulate in Bangladesh," or "Poland visa office in Bangladesh" often show outdated information. Intake arrangements have changed multiple times. Always verify current status before booking.

  • VFS Dhaka: Sometimes accepts files; check if currently active
  • Representing Mission: At times, another Schengen mission handles Poland applications
  • Embassy of Poland in New Delhi: Most common regional mission with jurisdiction over Bangladesh when Dhaka intake is paused
  • Address/Hours: Check official pages for live information

Applying from a Third Country (Residence Abroad)

  • Legal Residents Abroad: You may apply at the local Poland mission/VFS under that country's rules
  • Example — South Africa: If applying as a legal resident in South Africa, fees are collected in ZAR per local VFS/Embassy schedule
  • Not Resident Abroad: Apply via the Bangladesh route (VFS/representing mission/New Delhi per current instructions)
💡 "Visa Ratio" Reality

EU publishes aggregate Schengen statistics by mission annually, but breakdowns by purpose/nationality are limited. No official, granular "Poland visa ratio from Bangladesh" exists. Focus on controllables: clear purpose, consistent documents, adequate traceable funds, valid insurance, and strong ties to Bangladesh.
