New regulations regarding quarantine upon arrival in Poland
From 1st December 2021 new quarantine rules after arriving in Poland are in force. Significant changes were introduced for passengers arriving from Non-Schengen countries.
Non-Schengen travelers with the exception of EFTA and EEA countries
ATTENTION!
Passengers travelling from Non-Schengen countries will have to self-isolate for 14 days; they can be released from quarantine if they present a negative result of a PCR test done 8 days after arriving in Poland.
Passengers are released from quarantine if:
- they are vaccinated, i.e. they completed the vaccination process at least 14 days ago, i.e. took both doses of the coronavirus vaccine (in case of a two-dose vaccine) or one dose (in case of a one-dose-only vaccine) and have a certificate confirming the vaccination. The vaccine must be approved to be used in the European Union.
- they are convalescents, i.e. people who in the last 6 months were isolated, isolated at home or hospitalized due to contacting the coronavirus.
- Children under 12 are released from quarantine if they are travelling with fully vaccinated guardians.
Passengers travelling from Schengen area countries and Ireland, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania are released from quarantine if:
- one presents a negative coronavirus test result performed in the country one departs from, not older than 48 hours, counting from the moment of receiving the result;
- one is fully vaccinated. That means that at least 14 days must pass since the end of the vaccination process, i.e. when both coronavirus vaccine doses (in case of a two dose vaccine) or one dose (in case of a one-dose-only vaccine) are taken and confirmed by a vaccination certificate. The vaccine must be approved to be used in the European Union.
- are convalescents, i.e. people who in the last 6 months were isolated, isolated at home or hospitalized due to contacting the coronavirus.
- Children under 12 are released from quarantine if they are travelling with guardians who are either fully vaccinated or have a negative coronavirus test result.
