Poland visa for Thai citizens

For the tourist visa, Poland’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on 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 2 missions in Thailand, with its embassy in Bangkok. Honorary consulates, which normally do not take visa applications: Phuket.

In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Thailand (Bangkok) received 873 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 620. 28.7% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 26.2%: the rate rose by 2.5 points. Applications fell by 18% compared with 2024 (1,071).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 5.9% of the applications lodged in Thailand that year. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 17th most applied-for Schengen state in Thailand.

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