Poland to Chad visa requirements

Q: Where do I apply for the Chad eVisa?

On the official government portal at evisa.td. Since 11 May 2026 this is the only valid channel for tourist and most other visa categories.

Q: How long can I stay in Chad on a tourist eVisa?

The short-stay tourist eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days.

Q: How much does the Chad eVisa cost?

The short-stay multiple-entry eVisa is commonly priced around EUR 100; shorter or single-entry options may cost less. Service fees may apply and fees are non-refundable.

Q: How early should I apply?

Apply at least 7 days before your intended entry date and no more than 90 days in advance. Processing generally takes about 5-15 business days.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. Chad requires a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry, so carry it with your passport and printed eVisa.

Polish passport holders need an eVisa to visit Chad for tourism. Since 11 May 2026 the official online portal (evisa.td) is the sole application channel, replacing visas issued by embassies. Apply before you travel; a short-stay tourist eVisa permits up to 90 days. A Poland (ordinary passport) citizen traveling to Chad for tourism is not eligible for visa-free entry — Poland is not on Chad's visa-exemption list. An electronic visa (eVisa) is required and must be obtained before departure. Chad launched its eVisa system on 11 December 2024 and, since 11 May 2026, the official platform evisa.td is the exclusive channel for visa applications (except diplomatic/courtesy visas); visas issued outside this platform no longer permit entry. The tourist eVisa is typically issued for a short stay of up to 90 days. The short-stay eVisa is commonly priced around EUR 100 for a multiple-entry option, with shorter single-entry variants also available; consular plus service fees apply. Applications should be filed at least 7 days before the intended entry date and no more than 90 days in advance. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry to Chad. Travelers should verify the current fee and conditions directly on evisa.td, as fees and rules can change and refunds are not available once an application is submitted.
