How do I Get a Polish Passport From Argentina?

The Polish passport is the principal form of identification for Polish citizens wishing to visit countries outside of Europe's Schengen Area - a group of 25 countries that have scrapped internal border controls.



The Polish passport is only issued to Polish citizens and can only be obtained from government offices in Poland and an international network of embassies and consulates.
