Which permits do you need to legally stay in Poland?
In Poland, the primary document presented by citizens of non-EU countries is a passport with a valid visa issued for a specific purpose. However, since 11 June 2017, citizens of countries including Ukraine and Georgia can travel visa-free within the EU, crossing the border with a biometric passport. Visa-free travel allows for short-term tourist stays. After obtaining the appropriate declaration, foreigners are also permitted to work. Visa-free stays cannot exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.
