The embassy and its network in Poland

The embassy is currently led by Juan Sebastian Bayona Diaz as chargé d’affaires a.i., according to the Polish Foreign Ministry’s list of foreign missions (September 2026). One honorary consulate – in Krakow – supports Colombian citizens outside the capital.

Consular services

The consular section typically handles:

• Colombian passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Powers of attorney and notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions abroad

Documents checklist

What Colombian citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Colombian government information:

Colombian passport (application abroad)

• Abroad, only Colombian consulates issue passports – the application and the collection are in person
• Original cédula de ciudadanía (or the original contraseña receipt if you do not have the card yet)
• To collect the passport: original Colombian ID and the payment receipt
• Ordinary passports are valid for 10 years; processing at consulates takes about 8 working days
• Minors: accompanied by a parent or legal representative with their cédula; a third party needs a special power of attorney from both parents (apostilled and translated into Spanish if made abroad)

Sources: Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – passports, Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – passport requirements (checked October 2026). Requirements and fees can change and individual posts may ask for more – confirm the current list with the embassy before your visit.

Do I need an appointment?

Ask in advance whether your service needs a booked slot.

Travelling from Poland to Colombia

Polish citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Colombia (up to 90 days), according to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs; a valid passport is required. Details: Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs – travel advice (in Polish).

Closing days

Expect the embassy to be closed on Polish holidays such as Constitution Day (3 May), Independence Day (11 November) and Christmas Eve (24 December) as well as on the Colombian national day, 20 July. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.

Emergency assistance

For emergencies, the embassy’s number is +48 22 617 09 73. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Polish authorities. In Poland, the emergency number is 112. Polish citizens who need help in Colombia should contact the Polish embassy or consulate responsible for the country; the Polish Foreign Ministry’s Odyseusz service lists the contacts and lets travellers register their trip.
