Is the 90-Day Visa Free Extended for 30 Days?

5 Nov 2020 #1

Extension of the periods of voluntary return specified in the decisions obliging the foreigner to return

It has been decided that the deadline for voluntary return specified in the decision obliging a foreigner to return, the end of which would fall during the period of state of epidemic emergency or state of epidemic, is postponed by law. As in the case of the other solutions contained in the act, the extension of the deadline will take place until the end of the 30th day following the date of cancelation of the last state.

This was the case. I dont know if the state of epidemic emergency has been reinstated.

Where do you go to extend a shengen travel-free visa? Send an email for an appointment? Are they even open? How are 90-day visa people supposed to renew their visas, when needed?

If the visa is extended, it is automatic and no appointment necessary. This only happens when there is an official announcement on that policy, which I dont believe has happened yet again, but may in the next 10 days.

Merged:

Visa-Free in Poland. No need to return until pandemic is over?

Looks like if you are already in Poland on a visa free, and it expires, you have 30 days to leave after the pandemic and the state of emergency is officially declared to be over. No forced expulsions or penalties on visa overstays.

This does look to be the case based on an update November 5th.

How will I know when the state of epidemic emergency is declared over? I don't want to miss my 30 day window because I didn't get the memo...
