Horrible customer service. An embarrassment to Poland! :-( Would give zero stars if possible!

The miracle on the Vistula is a piece of cake! Calling this facility would be a miracle!

Questions & Answers

I want to come back to Poland permanently. I was born in Krakow, but I have been outside Poland for over 30 years. How should I begin with the procedures related to my legal return to the country? Thank you for your answer. I send greetings A.D.

IF you have a Polish passport, you have to apply for Polish citizenship with the Polish passport as proof that you are from Poland. If you don't have a Polish passport, you have to send documentation to the Polish Consulate in D.C. and prove you you are a former Polish citizen. Then,you can apply for a Polish passport and travel to Poland as a Polish citizen or go to Poland on your American passport and take proof of Polish citizenship with you to Poland and apply in Poland.

My wife and 4 children and I are considering Poland as a country to relocate to. The situation in the USA is going down hill fast and my wife and kids and I are scared every time we go outside because we are white!!!! My wife is a nurse any ideas?

Have you already left for Poland?

Can you please tell me which official flag of Poland should be displayed at the main entrance of any Polish heritage or cultural center: simple white and red, or white and red with the Polish white eagle in its center. Thank you.

Yes, you'll have to bring your birth certificate and any other official paperwork. https://www.gov.pl/web/gov/uzyskaj-paszport-usluga-dla-osoby-doroslej is a good place to start checking the requirements. Getting an appointment is difficult, check the availability frequently here: https://secure.e-konsulat.gov.pl/Default.aspx

My mother in law lives here in US and is a polish Citizen. She lost her polish passport and needs to travel back to care for her dying sister. What must she do to get another polish passport? Thank you!

Definitely call the consular emergency line and explain the situation, they might be able to issue a temporary Polish passport in a week or so. Otherwise, contact the Polish border patrol and see if they'll let her in on an American passport if she has one; in my experience they have been very understanding. Just try to get a relative in Poland to make the call for you to save some money on a potentially long international call.
