Very professional, efficient, helpful, patient staff and all done in pleasant manner with a smile. Also, very quick to respond via email. I've had a lot of questions about legal matters and procedures, and they've offered detailed information quickly.

The people working there are very nice and they’ll try to help you out and make your situation work if you ask nicely. I’ve had a chance to speak briefly to the consul as well and he seems like a polite and emphatic man.

Questions & Answers

I am a Polish citizen. Soon I would like to set up a currency account at the PKO bank, have Polish identity card. What should I do to get a Polish Passport? What should I do to obtain appropriate proof of identity? Andrzej B.

The consulate does not deal with evidence. They can only be made in Poland. The same applies to setting up an account at a Polish bank. If you have a passport and a Pesel, you can easily open an account. To obtain a passport, you will need a former passport (preferably) and / or a copy of a birth certificate, one passport photo. More information on the consulate's website.

I have a question whether there is an honorary consul in Phoenix. If so, how can you contact him?

You can book an appointment via the consulate's website and fill out an application on the spot. What you need to have with you is an outdated passport, a photo and a fee (PLN 50) in cash or by check. Currently, before entering, it is also obligatory to wear a mask.

I recently flew out of the Warsaw airport. I needed to have have some receipts stamped for the tax refund. The man at the desk refused to stamp the documents. Can I have an address to mail them to someone who will stamp them?

Are you talking about a VAT refund? This all has to happen at the last airport that you are in when leaving the EU tax zone. They also issue you the VAT refund on the spot. One more note - for VAT refund you need a special form filled out with your passport info at the moment of purchase.
