Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Poland as tourists. The standard fee is EUR 90 for an adult and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
Indonesia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so an Indonesian traveller must obtain a visa before departing for Poland. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. You lodge the application when Poland is your main destination or first point of entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Indonesian citizen travelling to Poland for tourism must apply for a Schengen short-stay Type C visa. It covers tourist stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. Poland must be your main destination (the longest stay) or, where stays are equal, your first point of entry into the Schengen area.
How and where to apply
Indonesian applicants submit their file at the Polish consulate or its authorised external partner (for example VFS Global) in their country of residence, usually Indonesia. A prior appointment and biometric enrolment (fingerprints and photo) are required. Poland registers applications through its e-Konsulat portal.
Documents and fees
Bring a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure, the application form, a recent ID photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. The listed visa fee is EUR 90 for an adult, with reduced rates for children. Confirm the exact amount and accepted payment methods with the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing typically runs 15 to 45 days; apply several weeks before departure and never earlier than six months ahead. Complete, consistent documents (itinerary, accommodation, funds) reduce the chance of a request for extra papers. Always check current timelines and the competent partner before buying non-refundable tickets.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from inadequate travel insurance, a passport with too little remaining validity, or weak proof of funds and accommodation. Do not lodge at the wrong Schengen country when Poland is not your main destination. Confirm the fee, timeline and any health-related entry requirements with the official source before finalising your trip.
