Repatriation from Laos to Poland

Laos: the Embassy in Bangkok and local authentication

Laos falls under the Polish Embassy in Bangkok, which also covers Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. The embassy's page requires the original death document authenticated by the local ministry of foreign affairs, and a funeral home statement on cremation and sealing of the urn, or on securing the body and sealing the coffin.

The embassy advises that for an insured deceased the insurer should be notified first, and it will arrange a funeral company. Without insurance a funeral home with a local partner in the region is needed, one that will obtain the death record and complete the formalities. The appointment is arranged by email, and documents can be submitted in person or by post. We organise these steps in Laos and in Poland, including the starosta's permit. Once the documents are ready, we take on the preparation of the remains and the transport to Poland, together with collection on arrival and the funeral ceremony the family plans.
