At the invitation of our Society, Consul Michal Sikorski, from the Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Washington D.C., will visit Memphis on September 18 & 19, 2010.
Part of the visit will be devoted to consular matters so that interested people will not need to travel to the Consulate in Washington, DC. Mr. Sikorski will assist people with issues concerning their passports and with other matters, dealing for instance with current or future citizenship status. Please consult the official information received from the Embassy.
The Consular Division of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington D.C. informs that it will have its office opened in Memphis on Sunday, September 19, 2010. Consul Michał Sikorski, of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington D.C. will be handling inquiries regarding all consular matters.
