Important information for passengers arriving from Non-Schengen countries
Test after arriving from Non-Schengen countries
Beginning from 27 February 2021, it will be possible for passengers to perform commercial rapid antigen coronavirus tests after arriving from Non-Schengen countries.
The test point will be located before passport control, i.e. before the country border. Tests performed in that area, in case of a negative result, mean, in accordance with regulations, that one does not need to self-isolate after crossing the border.
The test will be carried out by Lab-Med – a medical laboratory which uses certified Panbio antigen tests by Abbot. The cost of the test is PLN 180 (card payment is preferred). For this price, the passenger receives a certificate in Polish or English which confirms the test result; it is delivered electronically up to 20 minutes after collecting the sample.
