Is 15% Window Tint Legal in Poland After the 2026 Law Changes?

No. Polish law prohibits window tinting below 70% light transmittance for front side windows and windshields, making 15% tint illegal. The Ministry of Infrastructure enforces these rules via the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o Ruchu Drogowym), with penalties including fines and mandatory tint removal.


Key Regulations for 15% Window Tint in Poland

  • Light transmittance threshold: Front side windows and windshields must allow ≥70% light transmittance (Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure, 2023).
  • Medical exemptions: Only documented medical conditions (e.g., severe photosensitivity) permit lower transmittance, requiring approval from the Główny Inspektorat Transportu Drogowego (GITD).
  • 2026 compliance shift: New EU vehicle safety regulations (GSR 2) may tighten enforcement, mandating certified tint measurements during technical inspections (badania techniczne).
