Generally, to travel to a country you need a special permit called a visa. Sometimes getting a visa involves a large investment of time and money, having to pay large sums and presenting travel justifications at the consulates or embassies of the country to which you are interested in traveling, always with the risk of not being granted the visa.

There are agreements between certain countries that facilitate the free transit of people without the need for a visa. Poland is part of the European Union, which allows Polish citizens to enjoy the right of free movement within its borders. It is also part of the Schengen zone, in which you can travel through 26 member countries without border controls.

As of July 2019, Polish citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 172 countries and territories, ranking the Polish passport 8th worldwide in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.

You can see on the map how the Polish passport makes it easier for you to travel around the world, not exclusively in Europe. It allows you to enter countries that are difficult with the Argentine, Chilean or Paraguayan passport. For example, to enter the United States, Canada, and Australia, Argentines need a visa, however with the Polish passport it is not necessary.

In addition to being able to travel without a visa to 172 countries with a Polish passport, it also gives you many other benefits such as the right to access free public healthcare throughout the European Union. You can see the 12 best benefits of Polish citizenship HERE.
