Poland passport: how long can you stay in Europe?
A Poland passport is an EU passport, so you can live, work and travel anywhere in the EU with no day limit. The 90/180 rule that applies to visitors from outside the EU does not apply to you.
Do Poland citizens need a Schengen visa?
No, and the question does not really apply here. As a citizen of an EU member state, you move freely across the EU under the same right of free movement that lets any EU citizen live or work in another member state.
How many days can you stay?
There is no 90/180 limit for a Poland passport inside the EU. You can stay as long as you like, though a stay beyond 3 months usually means registering with the local authorities in the country where you are living.
ETIAS and EES for a Poland passport
Neither applies. ETIAS and EES both screen and track non-EU nationals on short stays, and an EU passport is not subject to either system.
Staying longer than 3 months
EU free movement covers the first 3 months in another member state with no formalities at all. Beyond that, most countries require registering your residence, usually on the basis of work, study or having enough money to support yourself. The exact process is set by each country's own implementation of the free movement directive rather than a single EU-wide form.
