Poland visa for Pakistani 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 3 missions in Pakistan, with its embassy in Islamabad. Honorary consulates, which normally do not take visa applications: Lahore and Karachi.

In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Pakistan (Islamabad) received 690 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 206. The refusal rate was 67.7%. The refusal rate fell by 3.2 points from 70.9% in 2024. Applications rose by 20% compared with 2024 (573).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.9% of the applications lodged in Pakistan that year, from 24.2% at the consulates of Germany to 78.7% at those of Denmark. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 13th most applied-for Schengen state in Pakistan.

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 Pakistan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Pakistan to Poland, it helps to know the official travel advice: 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). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
