Poland to Palau
Do I need a visa for Palau?
Polish citizens do not need a visa or any travel authorisation to enter Palau for a tourist stay. One entry permits a stay of up to 90 days and the visa‑free entry does not allow paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel with a passport or a temporary passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
A Polish national identity card and a driving licence are not accepted for entry on this route.
Are vaccinations required for Palau?
No vaccinations are required for general tourist travel to Palau. If you have been in an area subject to a WHO-declared epidemic within six months before arrival, you must hold the appropriate international vaccination certificate for that disease (for example yellow fever).
Advice about protection from insect‑borne diseases and specialist vaccination advice is suggested but not mandatory.
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
You may stay up to 90 days per entry; visa‑free stays are limited to 90 days in each 180‑day period. The visa‑free entry does not permit paid employment.
Arrival registration is required and is completed online through the official entry‑registration portal.
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 require only the same accepted travel documents (passport or temporary passport) as adults. No parental‑consent letter or other special paperwork for minors is required for tourist travel.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is recommended because local medical care is limited and medical evacuation may be necessary. Insurance is not a condition of entry.

What passport problems can cause refusal at the border?
Palauan authorities may refuse entry if your passport is not valid for six months beyond the date of entry, if it is damaged, or if it lacks two empty pages, so check your passport before travel.
What documents do my children need?
Children under 18 need only the same accepted travel documents as adults (passport or temporary passport); no parental-consent letter or extra paperwork is required for minors.
Can I drive in Palau with my Polish driving licence?
