Rules for passengers arriving to Poland from the Schengen zone (like France or Germany)
- All travellers are subject to quarantine unless they can produce a COVID-19 test with a negative result. Such a test must be performed no later than 48 hours before crossing the border.
- Test type: PCR or antigen.
- This covers travellers using all means of transport, including public and individual transport, as well as all persons crossing the border on foot.
- Travellers who have been quarantined in Poland may perform a test within 48 hours of crossing the border, with a negative test result releasing them from quarantine.
- The tests are not publicly funded.
- From 26 of May, all persons who present a negative COVID-19 test result after arrival at Polish airports – before the border check – will also be exempt from quarantine
- Important! Persons vaccinated against COVID-19 are exempt from quarantine. This applies to persons who have been issued a certificate of preventive vaccination with a vaccine that has been approved for marketing in the European Union. Please note: Travellers are only recognised as fully vaccinated once 14 days have passed from the end of their vaccination process.
Commentary:
You don’t need a test or EU COVID certificate before crossing polish border. However you can be stopped by Polish Border Guard which checks your travel documents. Even if you don’t have test or vaccination you can perform test in next 48h. I also would like to add that these checks are really rare.
