Some of non-EU countries are allowed for visa-free travels, hence their citizens can stay in Poland legally up to 90 days.

However, it is always better to apply for a national visa type D, which gives you guarantee of a legal stay over 3 months up to a year. The visa’s expiry date does not equal its length of validity. Its expiration date can be for a year but the actual legal stay can be 150 days. You can find that on your visa blank.
