British Embassy & Consulates in Poland

At Kawalerii 12, 00-468 Warszawa, the British embassy represents the United Kingdom towards Poland. The head of mission on record is Melinda Simmons Dcmg. Its website is linked on its page.

The United Kingdom also has a consulate in Lodz; its work is consular: passports and documents for its own citizens and, often, visas for visitors.

The United Kingdom has an honorary consulate in Lublin; like most honorary consulates, it does not normally issue visas or passports.

Before flying to the United Kingdom, Polish citizens must obtain an ETA online; stays of up to 180 days are allowed. The application is made online on the official portal of the United Kingdom, not at the British embassy.

In return, Poland has 11 missions in the United Kingdom, including its embassy in London.
