Visa information


Please note that in some cases it is required to obtain a VISA before entering Poland.

If you are a citizen of an EU member state the only thing you need to have to enter Poland is a valid travel document or a document confirming identity and citizenship (i.e. your national ID).

The two main documents you will need to enter Poland if are not a EU citizen are:
 
  • a valid travel document (passport);
     
  • a visa (if required). Generally, you need a visa to enter Poland. There are, however, a number of countries that are free of this requirement. For more details refer to: https://www.gov.pl/web/diplomacy/visas
Poland is a part of the Schengen zone, so you can apply for a Polish visa and travel all around 27 countries it covers. Basically those are most of the EU countries, except Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cyprus. Although not members of the EU, countries like Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein are also part of the Schengen zone.
