Border Crossing Rules For Foreigners Entering Poland For Business

Key Points 

• Foreign nationals entering Poland for business must present a written invitation from a Polish business entity  

Overview

As of Oct. 16, 2021, foreign nationals arriving in Poland for business reasons are no longer required to apply beforehand for a special recommendation from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Instead, crossing the Polish border is possible with a written invitation from a Polish business entity. Foreign nationals who require visas for entry must also ensure that this documentation is acquired prior to entry from a Polish consular post. The written invitation should: 

• Be written on a letter-headed paper of the given business entity; 

• Contain explicit indication of the reason for a business visit;
