What the authority requires
The points below are taken directly from the official source for the Poland National Visa (Type D) (D-Type national visa (gov.pl Nicosia)) route. Each one is recorded with a source identifier and a locator so it can be traced back to the original document. Where the source is silent on a point, the engine records UNKNOWN instead of inferring an answer.
- The authority requires that insurance is mandatory.
- The authority requires that the medical coverage meets the stated minimum of at least 30000.
- The authority requires that the policy covers the full authorized stay.
How we evaluate
Every requirement is compared against the documented specification of each insurance product using an automated rule engine. A product is marked GREEN for a requirement only when product evidence explicitly satisfies it; a conflict produces RED; and absent evidence produces UNKNOWN rather than a guess. The route status is the combination of its per-requirement outcomes.
- Rule
insurance.mandatory == YesGREEN on a match, RED on a conflict, UNKNOWN if unproven. - Rule
insurance.min_coverage >= 30000GREEN at or above the threshold, RED below it, UNKNOWN if unstated. - Rule
insurance.must_cover_full_period == YesGREEN on a match, RED on a conflict, UNKNOWN if unproven.
How each compliance status is decided for this route
GREEN means every recorded requirement is satisfied by product evidence. RED means at least one requirement is contradicted by the product evidence. YELLOW means the evidence is partial: some requirements are met while others lack full proof. UNKNOWN means a requirement exists but the product evidence does not address it, so no claim is made. NOT_REQUIRED means the authority does not impose an insurance requirement for the route, which is itself an evidence-based finding drawn from the official document. A GREEN result reflects the evidence on the snapshot date and is not an assurance of a visa outcome, which always rests with the issuing authority.
Reading the evidence and snapshots
Each requirement above links to a primary source through a source identifier and a locator (for example a page number, article, or section). The underlying documents are listed under Source Documents and are stored alongside this dataset so the wording can be checked directly. Results are tied to a dated snapshot (2026-06-20): a deep link to a past snapshot returns the same verdict even if the authority later changes its rules, which keeps every decision reproducible and auditable.
Proof package checklist
Before applying for this route, prepare the following so the policy can be checked against each requirement:
- A policy certificate that states the coverage limits, any deductible or co-payment, and the covered period.
- Written confirmation of the insurer’s status where the route requires authorization in a specific country.
- Documentation that the coverage spans the full authorized stay rather than a partial term.
- The official source wording for the route, so each clause can be matched to the requirements above.
Common questions
What insurance does the Poland National Visa (Type D) require?
The gov.pl consular checklist requires travel medical insurance with minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR, valid for the entire period of the requested national visa, covering urgent medical assistance, emergency hospital treatment and medical repatriation.
Why is SafetyWing YELLOW for this route?
The policy must be valid for the entire period of the requested visa. A month-to-month subscription that can lapse does not assure full-period validity, so the engine marks it YELLOW; full-period policies with a documented limit of 30,000 EUR or more are GREEN.
Are there insurer conditions the engine does not model?
Yes. The announcement also requires the insurer to settle costs directly with the treating provider and to run a 24/7 assistance centre, and Poland’s MFA publishes a list of insurers meeting the statutory conditions. The engine does not model these clauses, so check the MFA list before buying.
