About the Embassy of Poland in Ukraine
According to the directory of foreign diplomatic missions published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (October 2026), the embassy is currently led by Piotr Łukasiewicz as Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Poland is also represented by the Consulate General of Poland in Kharkiv, the Consulate General of Poland in Odesa, the Consulate General of Poland in Lutsk, the Consulate General of Poland in Vinnytsia and the Consulate General of Poland in Lviv.

Do Polish citizens need a visa for Ukraine?
Holders of ordinary Polish passports do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s entry-regime table (as of 8 June 2023). Ukraine is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.
Documents checklist
Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Polish sources:
Polish passport for adults (application abroad)

- For a reduced fee: proof of eligibility (e.g. student, pensioner or Large Family Card); applicants aged 70 or over pay no fee
- While you wait, or in a documented emergency, a temporary passport can be issued
