Poland is part of the Schengen Agreement. A valid passport entitles EU and North American citizens to a three-month stay in Poland. Visas are usually not required but non-EU citizens are advised to check with the Embassy of Poland. Visitors needing a visa for entry to Poland are strongly advised to make their application in their home country well in advance.
