4 thousand people queue up to get Polish visas

4 thousand people are queuing to get to the Polish Consulate in Minsk. Everyone wishing to get a Polish visa has to register, regularly attend roll-calls according to their personal number and to be on duty at nights. There are no special organizers of these activities; people are just trying to perform some kind of self-organization.

As it usually happens in queues, rumours are circulating there, scandals arise, people faint and there was even a case when an ambulance arrived too late to help.

According to people willing to get a visa, it is necessary to wait several months near the consulate and to come every day to get a visa. The last number in the queue is 3964.
