  • If you are travelling as part of an organised tour, contact the organiser, who should help you return to Poland.
  • If you are travelling independently, follow the procedure of your airline. Check with the airline if you can change your flight to a different EU member state from which you will be able to travel to Poland by land (by car, bus or coach). At the moment, only Germany has not announced limitations in border crossing.
  • Contact your insurance company to extend your insurance policy and check if the policy can cover the costs of changed travel arrangements and your extended stay abroad.
  • If you are running out of funds, contact your family or friends. A consul can grant financial assistance to return to Poland only in exceptional circumstances, and only to persons who cannot receive help of their family and friends. https://www.gov.pl/web/dyplomacja/jakiej-pomocy-moze-udzielic-konsul
