Repatriation from China to Poland

China: which consulate applies depends on the place of death

In China the certificate is issued by the Polish consular office responsible for the place of residence, and the list of posts is given on the Polish mission's website. The appointment is arranged by email with the chosen consulate. The fee is taken in cash in local currency: as a rule in yuan, and at the Consulate General in Hong Kong in Hong Kong dollars.

The site has a Chinese-language version, but the application and requirements are in Polish. We establish which consulate will handle the case and obtain the death document from the local authorities, so that the family does not have to look for the right office itself. If the family does not bring the remains home, the consul asks the authorities for a burial under local law. After the consul's certificate, a funeral home prepares the remains for transport, and we organise carriage to Poland, collection on arrival and burial at the cemetery chosen by the family. We clarify the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on request in your case.
