Entry/Exit Requirements
"A valid passport is required. U.S. citizen tourist and business
travelers do not need visas for visits of up to 90 days. That period
begins when entering any of the following countries which are parties
to the Schengen agreement: Austria, Belgium, The Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
Note: Although European Union regulations require that non-EU visitors
obtain a stamp in their passports upon initial entry to a Schengen
country, many borders are not staffed with officers carrying out
this function. If an American citizen wishes to ensure that his
or her entry is properly documented, it may be necessary to request
a stamp at an official point of entry. Under local law, travelers
without a stamp in their passports may be questioned and asked to
document the length of their stay in Schengen countries at the time
of departure or at any other point during their visit, and could
face possible fines or other repercussions if unable to do so.
Polish immigration officials may ask travelers for proof of sufficient
financial resources to cover their proposed stay in Poland. The
general rule-of-thumb is 100 zlotys per day. Additionally, citizens
of non-EU countries, including the United States, should carry proof
of adequate medical insurance in case of an accident or hospitalization
while in Poland. Polish immigration officials may ask for documentation
of such insurance or proof of sufficient financial resources (at
least 400 zlotys per day) to cover such costs. Those who lack insurance
or access to adequate financial resources may be denied admission
to Poland. Medicare does not cover health costs incurred while abroad."
