Poland: Transit Visa Now Required for Armenian Nationals

Effective immediately, Armenian nationals transiting through Polish airports to leave the Schengen Area now require a transit visa, which costs EUR 80. Exceptions include those with a visa issued by a Schengen Area country; those with a visa or residence permit issued by an EU or Schengen Area country; and immediate family members of EU citizens, among others as listed on the government website. As background, the only other nationals who require a transit visa in Poland are those from Cuba and Sudan, and in addition, all EU countries require a transit visa for nationals of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, and Sri Lanka.
