Where can you go on a Poland passport?

The Polish passport grants EU/EEA freedom of movement plus visa-free or eTA-only access to the United States (ESTA, since 2019), Canada (eTA), the UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia (eVisitor), and most of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Working-holiday agreements with Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and South Korea support widespread gap-year travel. Polish citizens benefit from large diaspora communities supporting family reunification and citizenship-by-descent pathways in the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, and Argentina.

About travel from Poland

Visa requirements for Poland passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
