Repatriation from Kyrgyzstan to Poland
We organise bringing the deceased from Kyrgyzstan to Poland: documents from the country of death, Polish permits and transport of the body or urn.
- Issuing authority and document
- Certificate: the Polish consul confirmed in your case. The export permit comes from the authorities of the country of death.
- Transport
- The body is carried by air as air cargo. We agree the arrival airport and the handover point in Poland with the family.
- Timing
- The starosta and the consul have up to 3 days for their documents (Article 14(5) of the Act on Cemeteries). We give the full timing once the documents from Kyrgyzstan are collected.
- Price
- We will quote the price once we know the details.
Procedure: Kyrgyzstan
Poland is not a party to the 1973 Strasbourg Agreement on the Conveyance of Corpses, so bringing a body from Kyrgyzstan always requires the Polish consul's certificate.
Documents from Kyrgyzstan are authenticated with an apostille if a Polish office asks for it (the country is a party to the Hague Convention, HCCH, as of 13 October 2026).
Kyrgyzstan: an honorary consul in Bishkek and a post in Astana
An Honorary Consul of Poland operates in Bishkek, as the gov.pl site Poland in Kazakhstan reports in its section on Kyrgyzstan. Which matters the honorary consul can handle we establish with the embassy, so we do not promise that he or she can issue the certificate for bringing remains home. We confirm the post responsible for this country for your case. Which post receives the application we decide once jurisdiction is checked in your case.
Kyrgyzstan lies deep in Central Asia, so remains or an urn travel by air, and a body needs a specialised international transport company. The usual order: a death document from the local authorities or hospital, preparation of the body or cremation, consent for export, the flight, and on the Polish side the starosta's permit and the consul's certificate. We confirm the detailed requirements of this country's authorities on request, for your case.
The Polish consul's certificate
The nearest mission linked to this country on gov.pl is the Polish Embassy in Astana. We confirm the competent mission in your case.
How to get them: the starosta's permit and the consul's certificate.
