Talk:Travel requirements for Polish citizens

message: As defined by the Wordnik dictionary (https://www.wordnik.com/words/visa), a visa is "an official authorisation appended to a passport, permitting entry into and travel within a particular country or region". Therefore ETAs (Electronic Travel Authorisations) are de facto eVisas (electronic visas). This is why ETAs issued by Pakistan, Grenada, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Australia (eVisitor), New Zealand (NZeTA) and the United States (ESTA) are classified as eVisas in this article. Please do not change that without further discussion. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Thearones (talk) 14:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: No, because it requires pre-arrival actions, so it is a visa. See also: User talk:Passportguy#Australia eVisitor --Botev (talk) 13:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it has recently been observed that there are two types of countries eligible for e-Visitors: "Low risk" countries and "High risk" countries. Low risk countries are those eligible for ETA. Poland is not an ETA-eligible country which means that processing an e-Visitor application may last up to a month, so it is by no means a quick and straightforward process. Therefore e-Visitor for Polish citizens should be considered a visa that must be pre-arranged. See here for more details: http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/1.0.htm  By the way, I think that the article Visa policy of Australia needs updating. --Botev (talk) 00:29, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

message: There is a number of countries in Africa, and Asia that give Polish citzens a right to obtain visas on arrival. Kenya, Tanzania, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Thailand are just a few. It would be interesting to mark these countries on the main map. 
::The majority of those countries simply issue visas on arrival to all (or almost all) foreign visitors, so it doesn't have to do with the Polish passport but with general immigration policy of those countries. Therefore it is irrelevant for the subject of the article. --BotevFixer (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Note quite true. While some countries issue VOA to nearly all citizens (e.g. Nepal, Jordan, East Timor) many others restrict that privelege to a select few (Iran, Gulf States just to name a few) Passportguy (talk) 20:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have added some countries. Are you sure about Kuwait? I believe several years ago it was hardly possible to get any visa for that country if you didn't have a pre-arranged invitation. Also, it is worth checking whether Malawi issues visas on border. It would surprise me if they didn't. --BotevFixer (talk) 18:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Kuwait issues VOA (see ). Do you have an official source confirming that Lesotho issues visas at the border ? http://www.drakensberg-tourism.com/lesotho-tourism.html seems to indicate that they do not. Passportguy (talk) 11:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe I once read somewhere about Lesotho but I can't find it now, so I've removed the info. --BotevFixer (talk) 04:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The format of the new Polish passport is not compatible with the EU requirements as the cover page is not using the country language(s). English and French are not an official languages in Poland. Same applies to the new Austrian passport BTW. Stupid, IMO, as everybody would recognize the document as a passport anyway ("PASZPORT"), while the introduction of additional languages is disturbing the esthetic appeal of the document.81.57.38.41 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Interestingly, the website of the Government of Botswana doesn't seem to confirm this: http://www.botswanatourism.co.bw/getting_in/visas.html (actually it's some "Tourist Board" but I got there through the link on the Botswana's Government website). I have also seen some reports on the Internet from travelers claiming they have received visas at the border. Any ideas as to what we should do in this case? --Botev (talk) 18:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so we have at least two sources stating a visa-free access. Other sources are probably just not up to date, then. I am adding Botswana to the list. --Botev (talk) 08:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
