Poland in Thailand

At the Consular Section of the Polish Embassy in Bangkok.

The consul can prepare the translation himself and certify it or verify and already prepared translation and certify it. Verifying and certifying a translation takes a shorter time and is cheaper than preparing and certifying.

Official languages of the countries of our accreditation are considered "rare languages" in Poland. Therefore we translate official documents from Thai, Khmer, Lao and Burmese from an English translation. Before visiting the Consular Section, you should have your document translated to English at one of the numerous private translation offices.

Please note that Thai civil status documents are now being issued also in their English versions. If you request for such a document, you will not have to translate it to English on your own.

Documents can be submitted in person or by mail. Before sending the documents, contact us and arrange the details.

You can book your appointment to apply for a visa via the e-konsulat system, by choosing “Legal matters” from the menu on the left of the screen. If the system does not show a date you want, it means there are no slots available on that date or the Consular Section is closed. New appointments are opened every Tuesday from 10.00-10.30 a.m. local time.

Please note the consul will only certify a proper and correct translation.
