Law / How do you get your Polish passport if you live in Poland? [17]
I appreciate your concern, but considering the process that is going to be involved in getting the Polish passport (looks like over a year), its not possible for us to wait that long to visit Poland. I think it would be a much larger violation of the long-standing arrangements for free travel of citizens between NZ and Germany for them to concern themselves with enforcing nonsensical Polish laws that have no international relevance by harassing a NZ citizen and NZ resident travelling with their NZ citizen baby on a NZ passport. I do appreciate that the Polish officials must be treated with caution however.
Pip - it seems that you're right. However we might do some of the steps while in Poland - registering vital documents, perhaps. We're certainly not going to get around to doing all that before we go there next time.
Save yourself the hassle and travel into Poland on a Polish document.
