波兰(Poland) 前往 英国(United Kingdom) 签证要求

Polish passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist trips to the UK, but since 2 April 2025 they must obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling. As of 25 February 2026 carriers strictly enforce this, so the ETA is effectively mandatory. A Poland (PL) ordinary passport holder travelling to the United Kingdom for tourism does not require a traditional visa. However, the UK rolled out its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to EU nationals on 2 April 2025, and from 25 February 2026 airlines, ferries and rail operators are legally required to confirm every Polish traveller holds a valid ETA before boarding. The ETA is an online pre-travel authorisation (not a visa) that costs £20, is multi-entry, valid for 2 years or until the passport expires, and permits stays of up to 6 months per visit for tourism, business or short study. Most decisions are automatic and issued within minutes, but applicants are advised to apply at least 3 working days before travel. The UK is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to UK entry. The passport must be valid for the duration of the stay.
