Travel Restrictions and Visas

You can enter Poland from any country within the Schengen Zone – although you will now need to quarantine for two weeks on return if travelling from the UK. Check with airlines for clarification.

Poland published a revised banned flight list of countries on September 29. The United States remains on the banned flight list but all EU / EEA countries (including the UK) have been removed.

The list of banned countries is: Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Brazil, Bahrain, Israel, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, UAE, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, India, Iraq, Colombia, Costa Rica, Lebanon, North Macedonia, Maldives, Moldova, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Cape Verde, United States of America – except Illinois and New York, Oman, and the Bahamas.

This guide to the Schengen area has full details of which nationalities need a visa for Poland.

Poland lost its ‘Air Corridor’ status in the UK earlier this month, due to rising infection rates. This means that anybody travelling in from Poland is required to quarantine for 14 days. This also impacts the frequency of flights into and out of the country.

Be sure to clarify your airline’s policy for rebooking and return flights if circumstances change suddenly. Book accommodation that allows for cancellations.

Poland Travel Restrictions and Visa Pages

Flights to Poland

Although international flights are now permitted to Poland from countries listed in the previous section, many services are now being cancelled until 2021. Budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet are running a timetable between key European cities, although these will fluctuate according to demand and the quarantine policies of individual countries, and services are being reduced in light of record infection levels.

Use a service like Skyscanner to check flights for your chosen dates. See also our comprehensive guide to Kraków Airport and how to get from Kraków Airport to Kraków city centre.

• Important! Everyone is required to fill out a passenger locator form before travel
• You will also need to fill in a Passenger Self-Declaration Form which logs some basic information about your health and activities in relation to possible exposure to COVID-19
• You will receive guidance on these forms from your airline and can usually fill them in online

Accommodation and Social Hygiene in Poland

Poland is keen to welcome tourists back and hotels were allowed to reopen from early June. During the current lockdown, hotels are only supposed to allow business travellers.

Polish customer service tends to be excellent, with high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. But new legal requirements have been introduced to help tackle coronavirus, some with heavy fines attached. All establishments must ensure that their staff wear gloves and masks, and that customers maintain at least 1.5m distance. Tables and other public areas must be disinfected after use, with signs to display this has been done.

We are hearing of hotels doing an excellent job with managing hotel restaurants, with alloted time slots of breakfasts and careful management to minimise the amount of movement around dining areas. Although you can no longer dine in at public restaurants and bars, your hotel should be able to still offer these services. Check before travelling.

Most public buildings, including hotels and shopping malls, provide hand sanitiser and ask customers to apply before entering. Hotels are subject to strict rules of hygiene.

Poland Coronavirus Information

Casino Poland Krakow Wikipedia

Poland’s containment of the virus was relatively successful for most of the first wave, but there was a significant rise in new daily cases since the initial lockdown was eased.

The highest Polish infection rates have been in the Katowice / Silesia and the Warsaw / Masovia provinces. Kraków is in the Lesser Poland province, which currently has the third highest infection rate in the country.

The Polish government started to introduce local restrictions on certain areas from August 8. These rules are updated daily, based on where new cases are highest. Kraków was designated a high-risk ‘Red Zone’ on October 17 and the entire country followed a week later. A three-week ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown began on November 6, and has now been extended until December 27.

Here is a useful page for the latest coronavirus numbers in Poland. Note that Kraków is in the Małopolska district:

• Google Translate version of the official Polish government’s Coronavirus infection report
• There are graphs to help you visualise the current status of the virus in Poland at the worldometer Poland Coronovirus page

Tips for Safe Travel in Poland

Here are some useful tips to make your trip to Poland a safe one.

Hotels In Poland Krakow

• Visitors to Kraków face a moderate to high risk of exposure to COVID-19, a highly contagious virus, so individuals should consult a doctor before considering any travel. Similarly, if you display any symptoms of the virus before you leave or are considered at-risk, don’t travel! See the Travel Health Pro COVID-19 Travel Risk Assessment and the UK government Poland travel advice for comprehensive details
• If you start to feel ill while you’re away, contact the Polish National Health Fund on 800 190 590. Press 6 for English language advice on what steps to take if suspect you might have coronavirus
• You are still required to cover your nose and mouth on public transport and, where practical, in any other shared indoor space. Whilst you no longer have to wear a mask outdoors, there’s strong medical evidence that it’s safer for everyone if you do. Although masks should be available from pharmacies, supermarkets, and a number of enterprising vendors, we recommending bringing them with you. After all, you’ll need one to travel
• Hand sanitiser is widely available at hotels, shopping malls, bars and restaurants, public transport, and many other public buildings. All the same, make sure you add a bottle to your packing list
• As a traveller, you’ll have less access to soap and running water than you would at home, so wash your hands at every opportunity
• Respect the 2m social distancing rule in any shared space. You may get fined up to £6,000 if you don’t!
• Kraków is a very walkable city, so consider exploring on foot, instead of via bus and tram. See our guide to Getting Around In Kraków for more details
• Google provides a chart of estimated busy times for popular attractions, so search for what you plan to visit and try to go at quieter times of day
• Provided you meet the criteria for travel to Poland, your visit is no longer considered high risk and you can buy travel insurance to cover the trip. However, things are changing very quickly and not all firms will cover costs incurred by COVID-19. Be sure to check with your provider to clarify what’s on offer. Moneysupermarket has an up-to-date guide on questions relating to the coronavirus and travel insurance. The UK government’s advice on travel insurance is useful for all travellers, regardless of nationality
