Polish citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Vietnam. Learn how to easily apply for a 90-day Vietnam eVisa, flight options from Poland, and embassy contact information.
1. Do Polish Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, Polish citizens **are required** to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. Unlike some other European nationalities, Poland is not included in Vietnam's visa exemption program. However, obtaining a visa is very straightforward since Polish passport holders are fully eligible for the **Vietnam eVisa** system.
The eVisa allows Polish travelers to stay in Vietnam for up to **90 days** (single or multiple entry) for tourism, business, or visiting family. It is accepted at 33 entry ports across Vietnam, including all major international airports, land borders, and seaports.
2. Vietnam eVisa Requirements for Poland
Before starting your eVisa application, ensure you meet the following requirements as of 2026:
- **A valid Polish passport**: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended arrival date in Vietnam and have at least 2 blank pages for stamps. - **Passport scan**: A clear digital scan or photo of your passport's bio-data page. - **Portrait photo**: A recent passport-sized digital photo (looking straight, no glasses, solid background). - **Payment method**: A valid credit or debit card to pay the processing fee. - **Email address**: To receive updates and download your approved eVisa.
3. Visa Fees and Processing Time
The Vietnam eVisa fees for Polish citizens are fixed by the Immigration Department:
- **Single-entry eVisa**: $25 USD (approximately **91 PLN**) - **Multiple-entry eVisa**: $50 USD (approximately **182 PLN**)
The standard processing time is **3-5 working days** (excluding weekends and Vietnamese public holidays). We highly recommend applying at least 1-2 weeks before your planned departure to account for any unexpected delays or requests for document amendments.
4. Flights from Poland to Vietnam
Currently, there are **no direct passenger flights** operating between Poland and Vietnam. Polish travelers will need to book connecting flights, typically departing from **Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)** to major Vietnamese hubs like Noi Bai (Hanoi) or Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City).
Popular transit options include: - **Qatar Airways** (via Doha) - **Emirates** (via Dubai) - **Turkish Airlines** (via Istanbul) - **Air France / Lufthansa** (via Paris / Frankfurt)
The total travel time is usually around **17 to 18 hours**, depending on the layover duration. Occasional seasonal charter flights directly to destinations like Phu Quoc might be available via Polish travel agencies during peak winter months, but these are not regular scheduled flights.
5. Embassy of Vietnam in Poland
While the eVisa is the most convenient option for most travelers, you may need to contact the Vietnamese Embassy for traditional paper visas, legalizations, or other consular services. The contact details for the Embassy in Warsaw are:
- **Address**: Resorowa 36, 02-956 Warsaw, Poland - **Phone**: +48 22 651 60 98 - **Email**: [email protected] - **Office Hours**: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM (Consular section: Monday 09:00 - 12:00, 14:00 - 15:30; Wednesday 09:00 - 12:00)
