It is highly advisable for students staying in Poland to have a valid health insurance policy. Otherwise, they have to cover their medical treatment expenses out of their own pockets.
According to the new Polish insurance legal regulations:
The University may insure foreign students with Polish citizenship on condition that any other Polish institution does not insure them. To become insured, they must fill out a form available at the Dean’s office.
All other international students staying in Poland based on the temporary stay card may sign a health insurance agreement with the National Medical Insurance Company, Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia (NFZ), and pay a monthly insurance fee of 46.80 PLN.
The NFZ insurance policy covers the cost of basic medical health care and all other medical services, such as laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures, medical examinations, different specialist consultations, and hospital expenses.
If you have a temporary stay card for over three months and are insured by the NFZ, you are entitled to free clinic and family physician visits. To take advantage of this, you are required to have a PESEL number, the Polish resident/citizen registration number, already assigned to you at the time of issue of the temporary stay card for a duration greater than three months.
The PESEL ID card may be obtained at the Poznan City Hall, Urząd Miasta. You are required to present a proof of residency, dowód zameldowania, a certificate issued to you by the same office in the Poznań City Hall, based on the student dormitory ID received by you from the dormitory administration, or based on a copy of the rental agreement signed by you and your landlord. The PESEL ID number is an absolute requirement for free access to the family physician and different clinics and for getting prescriptions.
We advise purchasing student health insurance coverage for 12 months before arriving in Poland. The Norwegian students may obtain this coverage from ANSA, and the Swedish from CSN.
Please bring your insurance identification to each medical appointment or diagnostic laboratory visit.
You may visit a family physician by prior appointment only at the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic

All students with dual citizenship, including a Polish one, are required to obtain a Polish passport before arriving in Poland. The holders of a valid Polish passport will not need a Polish visa to enter and to stay in Poland. However, they should also bring their other foreign passport as well, since they must use it upon the return to their home countries.
All other international students intending to study in Poland - planning to stay in Poland for a period longer than three months - must obtain a Student Visa from the appropriate Polish consulate before arriving in Poland. These visas may be issued for a maximum of six months.

The Schengen zone requirements
Since December 21, 2001, Poland’s accession to the Schengen zone, the Polish consulates must issue uniform visas, the so-called Schengen Visas, with a C mark. These visas authorize students to enter and stay in the Schengen member countries for no longer than three months within a period of six months.
The Polish visas with a D mark, issued by the Polish consuls after December 21, 2007, will permit the entry and stay in Poland only. The Polish visas issued prior to the date of Poland’s accession to the Schengen zone do not automatically become Schengen zone visas, and will not authorize travel within the Schengen zone. They will allow only entry into Poland. These visas will remain valid only until their expiration date.
Citizens of the non-Schengen zone countries have to meet specific requirements in order to enter the Schengen zone states:
Hold a valid travel document and a visa if it is required from the citizens of a given country
Specify the destination country.
Possess appropriate funds for the duration of the stay in Poland and for the return to the home country.
The person who is planning to enter the Schengen zone must not be identified and listed in The Schengen Information System (SIS) as an undesirable person or a person who poses a threat to the public.
