Ba Lan: cần biết gì trước chuyến đi

Nhập cảnh và thị thực

Poland is in the Schengen area. Non-EU visitors are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) on first entry: fingerprints and a facial photo, no passport stamps. Visa-free visitors may stay 90 days in any 180 across all Schengen states. ETIAS is not operating yet: its launch is now expected in 2027, so ignore sites selling "ETIAS" approvals.

Thời hạn hộ chiếu: Non-EU passports: valid at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen area and issued within the last 10 years.

Tại cửa khẩu có thể được hỏi

• EES registration at the first Schengen border: fingerprints and face photo (children under 12 give no fingerprints). Allow extra time at passport control.
• Border guards may ask for a return ticket, accommodation proof, travel insurance and funds for your stay.
• Your 90/180 days are counted across all Schengen states together; use the EU short-stay calculator to check.

Hải quan

• From outside the EU: 200 cigarettes, 1 L spirits or 2 L fortified wine, 4 L wine, 16 L beer; other goods up to EUR 430 by air/sea (EUR 300 by land).
• Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products from non-EU countries are banned (small exceptions for infant food and medical needs).
• Declare cash of EUR 10,000 or more (or equivalent) when entering or leaving the EU.
• Prescription medicines: carry the prescription; narcotic or psychotropic medicines need a Schengen certificate (Article 75) or a doctor's letter.
