Poland visa for Lebanese citizens

Poland’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is secure.e-konsulat.gov.pl. Processing time, as Poland states it: Usually within 15 calendar days of a complete application; up to 45 days in individual cases. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area.

Poland has 1 mission in Lebanon, with its embassy in Beirut.

In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Lebanon (Beirut) received 757 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 602. 19.4% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 19.1%. Applications fell by 5% compared with 2024 (801).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 17.3% of the applications lodged in Lebanon that year, from 4.6% at the consulates of Bulgaria to 38.6% at those of Germany. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 13th most applied-for Schengen state in Lebanon.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Lebanon, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Lebanese citizens planning a trip to Poland can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Poland at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 4 June 2025), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Poland (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Poland (updated 20 October 2026).
