Poland Removes All Entry Requirements

Poland Removes All Entry Requirements

Poland has repealed all Covid-related entry requirements, as well as the requirement to wear an indoor mask and quarantine if infected with Covid-19, as of (March 28)

Last Thursday (24 March), the country’s Health Minister, Adam Niedzielski, revealed the announcement, which implies that entering the country – and traveling about it – will feel more like it did before the pandemic.

There Are No Longer Any Covid-19 Entry Requirements For International Visitors

Because there are no longer any Covid-related entry requirements for international tourists entering Poland, travelers can now enter the country in the same way they did before the Covid-19 pandemic began.

However, since reopening for tourism purposes on June 13 2020, international visitors to the country had been subject to a number of entry requirements – which most recently required fully vaccinated arriving passengers to:

  • show proof of full vaccination against Covid-19
  • present a negative Covid-19 PCR or Rapid Antigen test upon arrival
Negative Covid test result
  • undergo Covid testing upon arrival – which was only applicable to Non-EU nationals, including visitors from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom
  • complete a passenger locator form.

For unvaccinated travelers, however, there was previously a need to quarantine for 7 days upon arrival, as well as a requirement to adhere to the above same rules as fully vaccinated individuals.

Masks Are No Longer Required In Public Indoor Settings

From now on, you will no longer be legally required to wear a face mask in public indoor settings – which means that you can now enter public venues such as shopping malls, restaurants, bars and nightclubs mask-free.
