Royal Thai Embassy in Warsaw

Embassy of Thailand in Warsaw, Poland

Overview

Poland has turned into one of Central Europe's liveliest Thailand markets — every winter, charter-season departures and one-stop connections carry Polish holidaymakers from Warsaw to Bangkok and Phuket in numbers that grow year on year — and the paperwork keeps pace: Polish passport holders enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days, with the online Thailand Digital Arrival Card as the only formality. The Royal Thai Embassy works from a villa at Ulica Willowa 7 in Mokotów's quiet embassy quarter, just south of the city centre. It processes the e-Visa cases the exemption does not cover — residents of Poland are assigned to Warsaw in Thailand's online system — and runs its consular counters on a booked-slot model, with appointments made through an online booking system rather than walk-in queues. The embassy's formal remit reaches beyond Poland: the Thai MFA's register also accredits Warsaw to Ukraine, and inside Poland the embassy is supported by an honorary consulate in Kraków covering the country's south.

Visa Services

For stays of up to 60 days — holidays, family visits, short business trips — Polish passport holders need no visa; the exemption is a policy Thailand reviews periodically, so check the current rule before booking. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is mandatory for every traveller: free, online at tdac.immigration.go.th, within three days before arrival — it is not a visa. Longer stays run exclusively through thaievisa.go.th: Non-Immigrant B for employment, ED for study, O for family and retirement, and the multi-year Destination Thailand Visa for remote workers. Residents of Poland — and of Ukraine, under the Warsaw accreditation — are processed under this embassy. The consular section answers visa questions at thaiconsularwarsaw@thaiemb.pl or by phone on +48 22 849 64 14 and +48 22 849 14 06, weekdays 10:00–12:00 and 14:00–16:00; fees are paid online and are non-refundable.

Consular Services

Thai nationals in Poland and Ukraine rely on Warsaw for passports, document legalisation, civil registration, and emergency help. The consular counter opens weekday mornings, 09:00 to 12:00, strictly by prior appointment through the embassy's online booking system; phone inquiries are answered 10:00–12:00 and 14:00–16:00 on +48 22 849 64 14 or +48 22 849 14 06, and by email at thaiconsularwarsaw@thaiemb.pl.

The chancery at Ulica Willowa 7 in Mokotów keeps office hours Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00, with a midday break from 12:00 to 13:00; the consular counter runs mornings only, 09:00 to 12:00, and requires a booked slot — reserve through the embassy's online appointment system before visiting.

Special Notes

The embassy runs two distinct email desks — contact@thaiemb.pl for general matters and thaiconsularwarsaw@thaiemb.pl for visas, passports, and legalisations — and consular counters do not take walk-ins, so book online first. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is required regardless of visa status, the 60-day exemption is subject to periodic review, and e-Visa fees are non-refundable.
Frequently asked questions

Not for stays of up to 60 days — tourism, family visits, and short business trips are covered by Thailand's visa exemption for Polish passports. Every traveller still registers the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online within three days before arrival. Working, studying, retiring, or staying longer requires an e-Visa applied for online before departure.
