Visa required — apply early
Liberia does not offer visa on arrival or e-visa for Polish citizens. You must get a visa from an embassy before you travel. Start the process at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Liberia, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
