If you are a victim of a crime

If you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of a crime of any kind in Poland, we may be able to help you to some extend.

Report crime immediately to the local police. Police: 997 or 112. The Embassy is not in the position to report any incidents on your behalf.

What we can do to help:

  • We can only give you general information about local police and the procedures.
  • provide you with a list of local lawyers and interpreters
  • help you to contact a local doctor if you need medical treatment
  • contact your relatives and friends to let them know what has happened
  • provide information on how you can safely transfer money from relatives or friends
  • in an emergency we can cash a sterling cheque up to £100, with a valid banker’s card into local currency.  There will be a charge for this service
