Citizens of the UK can spend up to six months in Poland without a
visa. Citizens of other EU countries, some other European countries and
the US may stay for up to 90 days without a visa. Nationals of many
other countries - including Australia, New Zealand and Canada - still
require a visa, which should be obtained prior to arriving in Poland.
Visas are valid for ninety days and must be used within six months of
the date of issue. To qualify for a visa, you must have a full passport,
valid for at least nine months beyond the date of your application and
with at least one clear page for the authorization stamp. The visa
application form can be obtained (in person or by post) from Orbis,
Polorbis or from a Polish embassy or, though not always, consulate .
Polorbis can also handle the whole transaction on your behalf on payment
of a handling charge. You should allow two to three weeks for delivery
by post, two to three days if you lodge your application in person. You
need to include a passport photograph with your application. Currently
the fee is CDN$70 in Canada, A$80 in Australia and NZ$80 in New Zealand.
