Poland in US

On National Independence Day, Poland officially joined the United States Visa Waiver Program. The U.S. administration’s decision to include Poland on such an important day for the entire Polish community is a greatly appreciated gesture and evidence of our close bilateral relations. The achievement is a culmination of the many years of effort made by the Polish side to fulfill the program’s requirements, and it will facilitate travel for Polish tourists traveling to the U.S. In order to enter the United States under the visa-free regime, it is necessary to complete an ESTA application online at least 72 hours before departure. The authorization is valid for two years.

 

“Poland’s entry into the Visa Waiver Program is proof that, for the United States, Poland is a dependable, politically and economically stable country that is committed to border security. It is important to note that Poland is the first country to have been admitted to the program in the past five years. Along with Poland, there are now 39 members in the program,” said Ambassador Piotr Wilczek.
