Checks on Polish-Slovak border to be extended until 22 November 2023

03.11.2023

The Minister of the Interior and Administration announced his decision to extend the period of reinstated border checks of travellers crossing the Polish-Slovak border by 20 days, until 22 November 2023. The checks will be carried out only upon entry to Poland and crossing borders will be still allowed only at designated checkpoints. The aim of reinstating border checks is to curb irregular migration along the Balkan route. Travellers crossing the Polish-Slovak border should keep in mind to have their travel documents – an ID card or a passport – on them at all times.
