Visa can be extended, if the owner or visa will prove that there exist important reasons that justify the necessity of the extension of the validity of the visa or the length of the stay defined by that visa.

National visa, can be extended, if you prove that you have an important professional interest or a personal one or that there are humanitarian reasons, which withhold you from leaving Poland before the visa expires.
