Poland visa for Tunisian 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 Tunisia, with its embassy in Tunis. Honorary consulates, which normally do not take visa applications: Sousse.

In 2025, Poland’s embassy and consulates in Tunisia (Tunis) received 940 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 635. 31.2% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 38.8%: the rate fell by 7.6 points, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 12% compared with 2024 (843).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.6% of the applications lodged in Tunisia that year, from 15.4% at the consulates of France to 46.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Poland’s consulates worldwide refused 15.8%. Poland was the 13th most applied-for Schengen state in Tunisia.

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

Before travelling from Tunisia 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).
