Foreign Ministry warns Romanians: Poland extends border controls with Germany and Lithuania

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs Romanian citizens who are in, transiting through, or planning to travel to Poland that the authorities in Warsaw have extended temporary controls at the borders with Germany and Lithuania until March 30, 2027.

The measure extends the controls introduced on July 7, 2025, and may lead to longer waiting times at border crossing points, particularly when entering Poland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that travelers take potential delays into account and check official information before departure.

Romanians may request consular assistance by calling the numbers of the Embassy of Romania in Warsaw; calls will be redirected to the Contact and Support Center for Romanian Citizens Abroad: +48 22 628 31 56 and +48 22 622 25 70. In difficult situations or emergencies, the duty number +48 694 486 683 is available.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends consulting the websites varsovia.mae.ro and mae.ro, as well as using the “Travel Informed” application.
