What services will be provided?

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the office will soon be fully operational and will provide a full range of consular services: document processing, notarial services, consular registration, citizenship issues, and other services needed by Ukrainians abroad.

Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga emphasized that ensuring the rights of Ukrainians abroad is a priority for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

“Wherever Ukrainians are today, they should know for sure: the consul is nearby, the state is nearby, they are remembered, their interests will be represented, and their rights will be protected,” said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During the opening ceremony, the minister presented the Amber Heart award to the city of Rzeszów and Voivode Teresa Kubas-Gul. It was through Rzeszów that millions of Ukrainians moved to safety in the first months of the war.

Tip: For those who need individual assistance with legalization, employment, or extending their stay in Poland, consultations with immigration lawyers are available on the Visit Ukraine platform — specialists will help with documents, advise on procedures, and protect you from mistakes in complex procedures.
