Poland requires your passport to stay valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure (Schengen rule).
Airlines routinely deny boarding at check-in if your passport doesn't meet the destination's stated validity rule, even before you reach immigration — it's worth checking well before you book, not just before you fly.
No — passport validity and visa requirements are separate checks. Same Schengen rule as its neighbors — 3 months beyond departure, issued within the last 10 years.
If your passport's expiry date is close to the cutoff this checker calculates, renew before booking — passport offices often take longer than travelers expect, especially in peak season.
