I live in the UK and my friend lives in Poland - we plan to go to New York for a week next November - how likely is it that he will get a visa????? My other Polish friends has just said that he stands no chance unless he has got loads of money - anyone know anything about the situation?? Is it the same for travel to Canada??

Your friend can try, but unless your friend has something to guarantee that he or she will return to Poland, like a family, a job the chances are slim. It never hurts to try, but you have to pay each time.

I think the current average percentage rate of receiving a visa to USA by Polish citizen is about 70% (so out of 10 people 3 will not get a visa).

Hi Krysia - he does have a good job in Poznan (which he loves) so fingers crossed. Good job I didn't go ahead and book it (which I was going to do as a surprise for him) :.) Is Canada the same do you think??

what about Polish people who live in the UK going to the USA for a holiday? My partner wants us to go to NY, but seems to be convinced that he wont get a visa. We havent tried yet, but I didnt think there was any problem with getting a holiday visa, esp. now Poland is in the EU. Am I wrong about this?

Canada may be easier, but I wouldn't count on getting a US visa there and trying to get to the US. Not impossible, but hard.

It doesn't make a difference as they would still have to apply in Poland (unless they are British citizens)..

Yes, Canada should be easier. In a few months it's likely Poles won't need any visa to Canada - as from this thread.

Not true. Applying in the UK is just fine.

really? I never knew that. I just thought you could go to the embassy here, or just book a trip and the travel agent would sort visas for you. Oh dear, well there goes my surprise trip to NY :(

My sister applied in France. At the time she had lived there for about 2 years. She had no French citizenship, worked as a secretary, no big money involved.

She applied in Paris. They gave her that multiple visits thing on her visa so she can pop in pretty much any time she wants. She visited me here in Canada a couple time and we took a ride to NY and some neighboring States. No issues at the border at all.

ok thanks for your comments.. reading this thread has made me realise that I need to give it some thought and not just go ahead and book a ticket, without checking out the visa situation first. It should be OK I reckon, he has been living here for 6 years but doesnt have citizenship.

There are no guarantees with those US of A people, but 6 years indicates a degree of commitment, and if there is also a personal commmitment that only helps.

And definitely get the visa before renting that private jet ;)
