Visa information

To enter Poland, some travelers may need a visa. Citizens of EU member states only require a valid travel document or ID card to enter. Non-EU citizens generally need both a valid passport and a visa, though certain countries are exempt. For a list of visa-exempt countries, visit:
https://www.gov.pl/web/diplomacy/visas

As Poland is part of the Schengen Zone, a Polish visa allows travel across the 27 Schengen countries, including most EU states except Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cyprus, as well as non-EU countries like Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. For step-by-step instructions on applying for a visa, visit Visa Application Instructions (https://study.gov.pl) or use the e-consular service at https://secure.e-konsulat.gov.pl

Citizens of EU/EEA countries do not need a visa, and citizens of certain other countries can stay in Poland for up to 90 days without one. These include countries like Albania (biometric passports), Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and many others. For a full list, visit the official website.

**Please keep in mind that visa processing may take several weeks**

Currency

The official currency of Poland is the złoty (PLN). Most stores accept credit cards in foreign currencies, and euros are accepted in tourist areas, though the exchange rate is typically unfavorable, so it’s best to avoid using them.

Foreign currencies can be exchanged at exchange offices (“kantor”) or banks, with no extra fees usually applied at kantors.

Note: Most shops in Poland are closed on Sundays, with the exception of small grocery stores like Carrefour Express and Żabka.
