Consular Section, Embassy of Japan in Poland

Warsaw’s Consular Section handles Japan’s official procedures for Poland. Its services include passports, certificates, family and nationality matters, residence, overseas voting, driving-licence procedures and visas. Although an honorary consulate operates in Kraków, the Embassy reserves passport, certificate and visa applications for Warsaw, so the right office depends on the procedure rather than the nearest city.

The counter is at ul. Szwoleżerów 8 and opens weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30–5:00 p.m., except Polish and Japanese holidays. Consular visits must be arranged in advance; the published visa appointment number is +48 22 696 5005 and the email is cons@wr.mofa.go.jp. Visa supporting papers must be in English or Japanese or include a translation. The published minimum processing time is five working days after a complete file reaches the office.

Public comments associated with the address include one visitor who thanked the Embassy for helping reschedule an appointment and said a visa was ready in five working days. That is an individual experience, not an authority guarantee. The profile stores a 4.3/131 snapshot from a Google-derived directory matching the exact address; figures can change. The Embassy identifies Akira Kono as Ambassador, but we could not verify a current named head of the Consular Section.
