UK REQUIREMENTS
The new UK requirements from December 2021 can seem a little daunting but we’ve done our best to simplify what you need to do.
From Tuesday morning 6th December 2021, anyone wishing to travel/return to the UK from Poland must show proof of a negative rapid lateral flow tests (antigen) pre-departure test, taken up to 48 hours before travel. This can be done at Krakow airport on the day of your departure from Poland with a quick result. At the time of writing the price for this is 165PLN (around £30). You can find the 24-hour test center in the P2 car park right next to the terminal.
If you would like the extra peace of mind of getting a test before you arrive at the airport or if you require a PCR test to gain entry into your country of origin, they are easily available a 5-minute drive from Chalet Stardust in Zakopane center with Diagnostyka clinic (Check link for up to date prices)
The pre-departure test is required for all travelers aged 12 and above, regardless of their vaccination status.
Additionally, before returning to England (Scotland, Wales, and NI might have slightly different rules) you must book a COVID-19 test (PCR) to be taken as soon as you get home or by the end of day 2 after your return at the latest. This can be booked from one of these providers. You need to isolate until receipt of a negative result test, typically less than 24hours from taking the test. A passenger locator form will also need completing in 48 hours prior to your UK arrival. This form will require your COVID-19 PCR test reference code in order to complete it. You can find the form here.

UK nationals, their spouses, and children are included in the list of those who are exempt from entry restrictions related to COVID-19, found on the Polish Border Guards website (in English). If you fly to Poland from abroad you must fill in a passenger locator form.
If you are fully vaccinated with a vaccination approved for use in the EU, you are exempt from quarantine on arrival in Poland but must present evidence of your COVID-19 vaccination at the border and 14 days must have passed since your final dose. ‘Fully vaccinated’ is understood as the administration of two doses of AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, and Moderna or one dose of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.
Poland will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination record (NHS App digital version or printed version both valid). If you are traveling with printed proof of vaccination status, it must be dated from 1 November to ensure that the certificate can be scanned successfully. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centers is NOT designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should NOT be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

No country is completely safe from COVID-19. At the time of writing Poland’s case numbers are going down, following the third wave of infections. There have been almost 21 million doses of vaccines administered. That amounts to 54% of the total population being vaccinated. However, anti-pandemic measures are still taken very seriously.
