Indonesia was NOT among the nationalities hit hardest by Poland's 2024 student-visa clampdown (most refusals: Iraq 704, Nigeria 497, Turkey 479, Ethiopia 270, Bangladesh 247, Pakistan 246).

Prices vary — estimate from [kiwi.com](https://www.kiwi.com/en/cheap-flights/jakarta-indonesia/warsaw-poland/) ## What it's really like Indonesia sits outside Poland's published top-30 source countries, so the student cohort is small — Poland's then-ambassador to Indonesia put it at over 500 students in 2023 — but newcomers arrive into an unusually organised scene: PPI Polandia, the Indonesian students' association founded in 2015, runs regional chapters from Pomerania to Kraków and acts as an information hub for accommodation, transport and food. Community accounts describe a well-integrated minority that still runs into the language barrier familiar to other Asian newcomers. Administratively Indonesia is one of the lower-friction Asian nationalities: its Schengen refusal proxy was ~8.2% in 2024 and it was not named in Poland's 2024 student-visa clampdown. **Community:** No published GUS figure — Indonesia is outside Poland's top-30 source countries; the Polish ambassador to Indonesia cited 500+ Indonesian students in 2023 (Jakarta Globe). The wider community of students, workers and professionals is concentrated in Warsaw, but there is no official count. ## Tips from students & forums 1. Book the e-Konsulat appointment at the Jakarta embassy well ahead and bring the visa fee in cash — the consular section only opens Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, applications are in-person only, and the fee is not refunded if you are refused. [gov.pl](https://www.gov.pl/web/indonesia-en/d-type-national-visa) 2. Join PPI Polandia before you fly — the Indonesian students' association has regional chapters across Poland and members share practical intel on accommodation, transport and food, plus an alumni network back home. [tutoravel.com](https://tutoravel.com/perkumpulan-mahasiswa-indonesia-di-polandia/) 3. Check NAWA scholarships before self-funding: the Polish embassy in Jakarta actively promotes the Banach programme (tuition plus ≈$400/month for Master's studies in engineering, IT and life sciences) to Indonesians, and West Nusa Tenggara students can also use the provincial Beasiswa NTB. [gov.pl](https://www.gov.pl/web/indonesia-en/studying-and-scholarships-in-poland) ## Good to know - Poland does not publish a separate count of Indonesian students, placing the cohort outside its top 30 source countries; the Polish ambassador cited 500+ students in 2023. - PPI Polandia (founded 2015) organises Indonesian students through regional chapters across roughly ten Polish voivodeships, from Pomerania to Kraków. - Indonesia's 2024 Schengen refusal rate of ~8.2% is among the lower rates for Asian applicants, and Indonesia was not among the nationalities named in Poland's 2024 student-visa clampdown. [Indonesia on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do Indonesian students need a visa to study in Poland? Indonesian citizens need a Polish national long-stay (type D) study visa for programmes over 90 days. Typical processing: 2–4 weeks (15 days, extendable to 30 in justified cases). Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Jakarta (consular section, Jl. H.R. Rasuna Said Kav. X Blok IV/3) — the application is lodged in person with an e-Konsulat appointment; consular hours are limited (Tue/Thu/Fri) and the fee is accepted in cash only and is non-refundable whatever the decision ### How much does it cost to live in Poland as a student? Roughly €630–1,210 a month for a student living alone in a one-bedroom flat, from Lodz (the cheapest of the 8 cities we track) to Warsaw (the most expensive); a university dormitory or shared flat usually brings that down to about €400–700. Estimate from Numbeo market data accessed 9 July 2026 — for a visa, rely on the sum the authorities specify.

Visa-refusal figures are Schengen short-stay proxies unless stated; Poland does not publish national (type D) study-visa refusal rates per country. Flight prices and monthly budgets are estimates from aggregators and study.gov.pl and change over time. Entries ranked 31+ are added for search coverage of countries Poland does not publish separate student counts for; their studentsInPoland.count is null by design unless a published figure exists (the Perspektywy/GUS "Studenci zagraniczni w Polsce 2023" report covers some).
