The difference between the period of validity of visa and the length of stay in Poland on the basis of visa
A visa is issued for a designated time period - its validity is indicated in the document.However, the time that the foreigner can actually stay in Poland is usually shorter. This means that such a visa may have a validity of one year, but the foreigner may be entitled to reside in Poland only for a period of 6 months.
Exceeding this time is an unauthorized extension of stay. In this situation, the presence of the foreigner is regarded as illegal, which can lead to certain consequences - more information is available here
