What does proof of financial means mean?

Question

What kind of evidence counts as "proof of financial means" for a Polish visa?

Auranik Consulting & Management · Accepted Answer

## Short answer
Documentation showing you can cover your living costs during your stay and your return (or onward) travel -- commonly bank statements, a sponsorship letter with the sponsor's financial evidence, a scholarship confirmation, or an employer's guarantee, depending on your purpose of travel.

## Important exception
The exact minimum amount expected varies by consulate and isn't something we quote here as a fixed figure, since it's periodically updated and consulate-specific -- confirm the current expectation directly with the consulate handling your application.

## Official source
