Poland to Madagascar visa requirements

Polish passport holders need a visa for Madagascar. The simplest route for tourism is the official eVisa (or an equivalent visa on arrival), valid for short stays of 15, 30, or 60 days, single entry. Madagascar is not visa-free for any nationality except a couple of exceptions, and Poland is not exempt. Ordinary Polish passport holders traveling for tourism must obtain a tourist visa. The recommended and most convenient option is the official electronic visa (eVisa) issued through the government portal evisamada-mg.com, which is a single-entry tourist authorization available in 15-day, 30-day, and 60-day stay tiers (a 90-day tier also exists). A visa on arrival is also available at international airports such as Ivato (Antananarivo) for those who do not apply online in advance, with fees collected at the border. Effective 16 February 2026, the 15-day eVisa fee tripled from EUR 10 to EUR 30 (USD 35); the 30-, 60-, and 90-day fees were unchanged. Standard eVisa processing is up to 72 hours after payment, and applications can be lodged from roughly one week up to six months before departure. Travelers should carry a passport valid at least six months with blank pages, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds; a yellow fever certificate is required only if arriving from an endemic country. Because there is no confirmed visa-free channel for Poland, the conservative and accurate verdict is that a visa (eVisa) is required.
