Do I need an appointment?
Walk-in capacity is limited, so check the procedure on the website first.
Do Polish citizens need a visa for New Zealand?
Polish citizens do not need a visa for short stays in New Zealand, but must obtain an electronic travel authorisation or register online before departure. Details: Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs – travel advice (in Polish).
Closing days
Like most offices in Poland, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Easter Monday, Corpus Christi and All Saints’ Day (1 November) and on New Zealand’s national day (6 February). Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas and Easter.
Emergency assistance
In an emergency, New Zealand citizens should call the embassy on +48 22 521 05 00. 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 New Zealand 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.
