Poland visa requirements for Emirati citizens
UAE 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 or business. However, starting in late 2026, travelers from the UAE will need to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before entering Poland or other Schengen Area countries.
ETIAS for Poland: A mandatory online travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers visiting the Schengen Area. Once implemented, it will allow UAE citizens to enter Poland for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or transit.

Do UAE citizens need a visa to visit Poland for tourism?
No. UAE citizens can enter Poland and the Schengen Area visa-free for short stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This exemption applies to tourism, business trips, and family visits. You simply need a valid biometric passport.
What is the ETIAS requirement for UAE citizens starting in 2026?
While UAE citizens remain visa-exempt, starting in late 2026, you'll be required to obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) authorization before traveling. This is an electronic travel permit that’s mandatory for all visa-free travelers. It'll be valid for three years and must be applied for online.
How can I stay in Poland for more than 90 days?
If you plan to stay beyond the 90-day limit, you must apply for a National Visa (D-type) at the Polish Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate General in Dubai before your trip. This visa is typically issued for one year for purposes like long-term study, work, or residency. Once in Poland, you can also apply for a temporary residence permit (karta pobytu) to extend your stay.
Can UAE citizens work in Poland without a visa?
No. Your visa-free status only allows for business activities like meetings or conferences. To be legally employed, a Polish employer must first obtain a work permit for you. You must then apply for a National Visa (D-type) for work purposes or a temporary residence and work permit if you're already in Poland.
Can I travel to other European countries from Poland with my UAE passport?
Yes. Because Poland is part of the Schengen Area, your visa-free entry allows you to travel freely between other Schengen member states (like France, Germany, or Italy) without further border checks. However, the total time spent in the entire Schengen zone must not exceed the cumulative 90 days within any 180-day period.
