Visa and entry information for Polish citizens
Polish citizens do not need a visa for short stays in Sri Lanka, but must obtain an electronic travel authorisation or register online before departure. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes the current entry rules in its travel advice (in Polish); check it before booking.
Closing days
Expect the embassy to be closed on Polish holidays such as Constitution Day (3 May), Independence Day (11 November) and Christmas Eve (24 December); the Sri Lankan national day (4 February) usually means a closure too. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
Emergency assistance
Sri Lankan nationals in urgent need of help can reach the embassy on +48 22 853 88 97. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Polish authorities. In Poland, the emergency number is 112. Polish citizens who need help in Sri Lanka should contact the Polish embassy or consulate responsible for the country; the Polish Foreign Ministry’s Odyseusz service lists the contacts and lets travellers register their trip.
