Current Travel Situation
Taiwan to Poland: What You Need to Know
Poland joined Schengen in 2007. Poland has been increasingly vocal in supporting Taiwan in EU discussions, particularly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 which heightened Central European awareness of authoritarian threats to democratic states. Poland-Taiwan ties are growing in security and semiconductor sectors. Taiwan's visa-free Schengen access has applied to Poland since 2011.
How to Get There
For longer stays, apply for a Polish national visa (Type D) or residence permit through Polish immigration authorities.
