Poland visa requirements for Israeli citizens
Israeli citizens do not currently need a visa to visit Poland for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. However, starting in late 2026, travelers from Israel will need to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before entering Poland or other Schengen Area countries.

Poland visa FAQs
What Israeli travelers commonly ask about Poland visas
Do Israeli citizens need a visa for a short trip to Poland?
No. Israeli citizens can enter Poland and the Schengen Area visa-free for tourism or business for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This is a cumulative limit across all Schengen countries.
What is the ETIAS requirement for Israelis starting in late 2026?
While Israelis remain visa-exempt, starting in late 2026, they'll be required to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before departure. This is a mandatory electronic visa waiver applied for online. It's valid for three years and is electronically linked to your passport; without it, you'll be denied boarding.
Can I extend my 90-day visa-free stay while in Poland??
Under a specific bilateral agreement between Poland and Israel, it's possible in justified cases to apply for an extension of your visa-free stay for an additional 90 days. You must submit this application to the local Voivodeship Office (Urząd Wojewódzki) before your initial 90-day period expires. This extension is valid only for the territory of Poland and does not grant additional time in other Schengen countries.
How do I apply for a visa to stay in Poland for longer than 90 days?
If you plan to stay beyond 90 days for work, study, or family reasons and don't qualify for a visa-free extension, you must apply for a National Visa (D-type) at the Polish Embassy in Tel Aviv before your trip. This visa is valid for up to one year. Alternatively, if you're already in Poland, you can apply for a temporary residence permit (karta pobytu).
Does my visa-free entry allow me to legally work in Poland?
No. Israeli citizens cannot legally work in Poland on a visa-free entry alone. To be employed, you must have a valid work permit (issued to your employer) and a corresponding National Visa (D-type) for work purposes or a temporary residence and work permit issued by the Polish authorities.
