Is there any registration for pre-departure/post-arrival tests?
Registration is not mandatory, but we strongly recommend registering for the test both before departure and after arrival. Go to https://d-lab.pl/register-lawica/en and follow the instructions. Registering in advance reduces the duration of the entire test procedure – you will not have to fill out registration documents at the airport. All you need to do is report to the Registration Point with the number you received during registration.

Can I be sure that the Testing Point will be open before my departure/after my arrival?
Yes, you can be sure that the Testing Point will be open before your flight. The operating hours of the Point are adjusted to the flight schedule. We perform tests before each scheduled and charter flight, regardless of the direction and airline operating a given route.

In what form will I receive the test results? Will I get the result in English?
You will receive the test results in two language versions: in Polish and English, to the e-mail address provided during registration, and/or as a printout – on request.

Do children also have to be tested post-arrival/pre-departure?
According to the regulations, there is no age limit exempting from quarantine, and therefore every arriving passenger, including the youngest children, must be tested in order not to be sent to quarantine.
There are different age limits for pre-departure tests, depending on the country of destination. The obligation to present a negative test result when travelling to the United Kingdom applies to all passengers over 11 years of age, and in the case of Germany – over 6 years of age. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the requirements of the country of destination you are travelling to.

I am flying to Poznań from the Schengen area – when and what test do I need to undergo to be released from quarantine?
When you fly to Poznań from a Schengen country or Ireland and you want to be released from quarantine, you need to have a negative PCR or antigen test result for SARS CoV-2 in Polish or English. The test result at the moment of crossing the borders of Poland cannot be older than 2 days, counting from the moment of obtaining the result. We do not perform tests at the airport before crossing the border. If you do not have the test result, you will be quarantined by the Border Guard. When arriving from the Schengen area, you can get tested at our airport after crossing the border. A negative test result introduced into the Sanepid (Polish State Sanitary Inspectorate) system by the DNA Research Center (CBDNA) team will shorten your quarantine. The Testing Point, located outside the Departure hall building facing the P1 Blue car park, is available to both arriving and departing Passengers.

I am flying to Poznań from outside the Schengen area. Can I get tested at the airport to be released from quarantine?
In accordance with the applicable regulations, all Passengers arriving in Poland from outside the Schengen area are quarantined by the Border Guard. A negative result of a diagnostic test carried out before crossing the border shall not release from quarantine. At the airport in Poznań, you can perform a test (antigen or PCR) after crossing the border. A negative test result sent by the DNA Research Center (CBDNA) team to the IT system of Sanepid (Polish State Sanitary Inspectorate) within 48 hours will shorten your quarantine. The Testing Point, located outside the Departure hall building facing the P1 Blue car park, is available to both arriving and departing Passengers.

I am a convalescent / vaccinated with a double dose of COVID19 vaccine. Will I still be subject to quarantine upon arrival in Poland?
