Data from official gov.pl websites, as at 22 October 2026. Before your visit, check the current opening hours on the mission’s website. THE BUSINESS TIME is an independent newspaper – we are not a consulate and do not handle consular matters. The 👍/👎 ratings are given by readers; they concern the service of the missions, not specific people. Photos and biographies of the heads of mission are published by the Polish Foreign Ministry on gov.pl (the licence does not allow reprinting on a commercial site) – link next to each name.
