Warning!
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns against traveling to the North Caucasus, i.e. to the republics: Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Chechnya, Dagestan.

Poland recognizes Crimea for an integral part Ukraine. The illegal annexation of this part of the territory of Ukraine by Russia makes it impossible to provide Polish citizens with consular assistance. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically advises against traveling to the Crimea.

Similar reservations apply to the integral part of Georgia: Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically advises against traveling to these regions, including the use of travel offers presented by travel agencies operating in Russia. "(statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of 29 May 2018).
