From this article, you will learn whether you can come to Poland without a visa, and if so, how long you can legally stay in Poland under the visa-free traffic regime.
I found some interesting information on the website of the Nadwiślański Border Guard Unit:
A 66-year-old Canadian citizen arrived at Warsaw Chopin Airport for passport control before her flight to Turkey. Border Guard officers determined that the Canadian had exceeded the permitted length of stay in the Schengen area by 57 days. The woman was fined and issued with a decision obliging her to leave Poland within 15 days.
Could such an unpleasant and probably surprising situation for the person concerned have been avoided? Probably yes.
Canada is one of the countries whose citizens are exempt from the visa requirement when traveling to the Schengen area (including Poland). However, visa-free travel is only possible for a limited number of days.
Perhaps the woman in the above story simply did not know how long she could stay in Poland without a visa?
This story inspired me to write an article about who can benefit from visa-free traffic and for how long. I invite you to read it!
