Football fans who plan on travelling to Poland for EURO 2012 and require entry visas are entitled to file their visa applications from March 8th 2012!

Although there are still three months to go until EURO 2012 kicks off, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs encourages all football fans who need visas to come to Poland to submit the relevant documents in advance.

This is possible pursuant to the regulations of the Community Code on Visas, which states that a visa application may be submitted no earlier than three months prior to the commencement of the planned visit.

Due to the early opening of visa procedures, football fans will avoid queues and will be able to plan their stay in Poland well ahead. All visa applications must be registered electronically via the website www.e-konsulat.gov.pl.

Please be informed that visa applications may be submitted in the consular offices of the Republic of Poland.

The MFA also warns against fraudulent visa brokers who may offer their services in connection with the growing interest in trips to Poland.
