Poland National Visa (Type D) insurance requirements (evidence-based)

Short answer

Poland’s National Visa (Type D) requires travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR, valid for the entire period of the requested national visa, covering urgent medical assistance, emergency hospital treatment and repatriation for medical reasons (Source: PL_NATD_NICOSIA_2026, gov.pl consular checklist; verified 2026-06-13). The engine models three rules from this source: insurance is mandatory, minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR, and full-period validity.

Verified requirements (PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN)

How we evaluate

The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Three rules are encoded from the gov.pl consular checklist: insurance is mandatory, the documented coverage limit must be at least 30,000 EUR (currency-aware: limits in other currencies are converted before comparison), and the policy must be valid for the entire period of the requested visa. A monthly subscription that can lapse mid-stay does not assure full-period validity, so it is YELLOW; a full-period policy with a documented limit at or above the threshold is GREEN; a product whose documents state no overall limit stays UNKNOWN rather than being assumed to clear the floor.

Two clauses are deliberately NOT modeled, following the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle: the insurer must settle costs directly with the treating provider and run a 24/7 assistance centre, and Poland’s MFA publishes an information list of insurers meeting the statutory conditions of the Act of 12 December 2013 on Foreigners. The engine has no per-product evidence for these conduct clauses, so a GREEN result here still requires you to confirm the insurer against the MFA information list before buying. See /methodology/ for the full logic.

Proof package checklist

• An insurance certificate stating a coverage limit of at least 30,000 EUR.
• Policy dates spanning the entire period of the requested national visa, not a month-to-month subscription.
• Confirmation that the insurer settles costs directly with providers and operates 24/7 assistance, per the embassy announcement.
• A check of the insurer against the MFA information list referenced in the gov.pl checklist.

FAQ

Q: How much coverage is required? A: At least 30,000 EUR, valid for the entire visa period (Source: PL_NATD_NICOSIA_2026; verified 2026-06-13).

Q: Is this the Schengen 30,000 EUR rule? A: No. It is Poland’s own national-visa requirement under the Act on Foreigners; the figure matches but the regime and conditions differ.

Q: Why is a monthly subscription YELLOW? A: It can lapse before the visa period ends, so it does not assure full-period validity; a full-period policy with a documented 30,000 EUR limit is GREEN.

Where to find compliant insurance for the Poland National Visa

In the current snapshot, Genki Traveler, Genki Native and World Nomads Explorer show GREEN: each documents a coverage limit at or above 30,000 EUR and a policy term that can span the full visa period. SafetyWing Nomad Insurance shows YELLOW because it bills monthly and can lapse before the visa period ends. Whatever you pick, confirm the insurer against the MFA information list noted above, since the engine does not model the direct-settlement and assistance-centre clauses.
