Finally a video with correct & clear information ! Thank you Weronika, i've been thinking of relocating to Poland but i don't speak the language perfectly so it is difficult for me to understand everything or where to search & if the information i find is legit or not. I hope you will create some content on how to buy property in Poland, how to rent/sell or airbnb it..

[@wellcomehome]

[@wellcomehome]

​ @Dembe Jenipher we're glad that you find the video useful. Unfortunately we're not a job agency and so we can’t help you find a job. We recommend you to search for a job via a job agency, for example: www.hrcontact.co/en remodevs.com/ talentplace.pl/en/candidates Most Poles search for a job online, on olx.pl or pracuj.pl. On this website you’ll find a great manual how to do it: jobian.com/pl/news/yak-znayti-robotu-v-pol-shchi-samostiyno/ We hope this will help you :)

Witam Weronika, Uwielbiam Twój film. So many useful tips. I am planning to spent time in Poland when I retire in a few years, as my family is from there and I have visited in the past. I expect to spent about 6 months at a time there and then time somewhere else. If I get a non-work visa, when I leave do I have to wait some time before coming back? Dzięki!!!

[@wellcomehome]

Hello and thank you! Your plan sounds great 🤩 As for your stay in Poland - to stay here for 6 months you have to apply to type D visa (national visa), which can be issued for max. a year. There's a possibility for multiple entires but never after your visa expires. Check different visa possibilities when applying. Hope this helps! If you have more questions about your legal stay in Poland, you can send us inquiry at [e-mail]. Cheers! Wellcome Home Team 💛

Hi Veronica, love your videos. Could you please give us some information on jobs for Customer Service in English and Fraud Specialist. Last I wanted to know if it is easier to switch employers between a work permit which I'm my case is for 3 years

[@wellcomehome]

Hi Sujoy! We’re glad that you like our videos. When searching for a job, we recommend you checking offers online, for example these two websites are in English: job-poland.com/ www.euraxess.pl/jobs/search/country/poland-1060 Most Poles search for jobs online via www.pracuj.pl/, the website is only in Polish, but offers may be in English. As for the permit, if you have a temporary residence permit and work permit, you can’t change a job. If you do, you have to apply for the permits again. We hope this will help you!

[@chilehabanero007]

Hi Weronika thanks for sharing all this valuable information and hard work, I have been to Poland a few times and it's a beautiful country I was there just this summer, do you know if there is such a thing as a retirement visa for ex-pats or non-Europeans foreigners that want to retire in Poland? such as people that have a steady income or a pension source of income, that come from the USA or Canada?

[@wellcomehome]

Hi Eduardo! We're glad that you like our video! On the government's website there is a list of frequently asked questions (unfortunately, only in Polish) for getting a visa. One of the questions is: What documents proofs that I have a stable and regular income/money to cover the costs of stay. They answer is that the miniumum income is 701 PLN (for a single person) or 528 PLN (for a family member). The confirmation for that is inter alia the confirmation of getting the pension. Here you'll find the link to the document: www.gov.pl/attachment/c4067bab-e664-4072-8be5-6c90367ab4e3 No information about retirements visa, so probably you’ll need to apply for visa type C or D. We hope this will help you and see you in Poland!

[@chilehabanero007]

Thanks so much Weronika I appreciate it, I think you are right there is not such a thing as visa for people that want to retire in Poland , btu we can still apply for a temporary residency while in Poland, I will take a look at the document using Google translate, I hope you continue creating these videos your information is very valuable and helpful to us, thanks again for such great information

Excellent video, so helpful. I was wondering if you could answer a question I have. I'm an E.U. citizen (Irish) moving from Ireland to Poland, but I will be still be working for an Irish company while there. I plan to go for at least a year. I understand I will have to register at my local voivode office after 3 months, but I was wondering if having a job outside of Poland means I don't have to register as "working" in Poland as I won't be working for a company that is based in or operates in Poland? Any help or advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

[@wellcomehome]

@robinsminstrel thank you for the comment! I'm glad that you like our video. Answering your question, as an EU citizen the only things you have to do are register your residence address and register in the Voivodeship Office, up to 3 months after moving to Poland. The documents need to filled out in Polish, but on our website you'll find a guide how to do that: wellcome-home.com/guide/documents-after-relocating-to-poland-guideline-and-dictionary/ In the document for the Voivodeship Office you need to say why you're staying in Poland and prove that you have a stable income. In our guide - 7 Things To Know BEFORE Moving To Poland, you'll find a list of such documents. In any documents you don't have to put the name or address of the company you work for, just prove that have enough money to live here. I hope that it's clear and you won't have any problems registering in Poland. Wish you a great time in Poland!

Cześć, Weronika! Thanks for your videos! Are there any differences for foreigners that own the Karta Polaka? I am Brazilian and I have recently got the Polish Card (Karta Polaka) and I would like to live in Poland for 1 year to continue studying the Polish language to apply for citizenship. Do you know if I can move and stay in Poland just by having the Karta Polaka (and without having any other visa - type D or work permit)? Cheers!

[@wellcomehome]

Hi Frank! Thank you for the comment, we're glad that you like our videos! According to the Polish Boarder Guard Karta Polaka is only a document confirming belonging to the Polish Nation. However, it doesn't allow you to settle in Poland. So if you plan to stay here longer, you will need visa type D and then apply for residence permit --> www.strazgraniczna.pl/pl/cudzoziemcy/najczesciej-zadawane-py/5006,9-Czy-na-podstawie-posiadanej-KARTY-POLAKA-moge-przekraczac-granice---Can-I-cros.html As for work, if you have Karta Polaka you don't need work permit and you can have your own company in Poland on the same conditions as Poles. We hope you find it useful!

Nice video. But how do I apply for a Polish bank account? I looked and all say that I have to have a Polish address before applying.

Hello @mar Idn! In case of opening a bank account everything depends on the bank policy. Millennium Bank requires only the ID card to open a bank account and you can do it online: www.bankmillennium.pl/en/individuals/current-accounts/konto-360-a

Hello Nevazt! We're glad that you like our videos :) When it comes to the driving license, you should apply for the international driving license. Poland accepts both Geneva and Vienna Convention based licenses.

Hi I have talked with the company I work for in Spain and they allow me to move to Poland while continuing working for them. What's net salary in Poland for a person earning 3500 EUR (16,450 zl) / gross monthly. That is my case and in Spain in net that's a bit above 2500 EUR. Will that in net salary be more or less than that?

[@wellcomehome]

In the biggest Polish cities they really do :) even if on a very basic level, it's enough to communicate. At work, it depends on company, but every international one or any handling with foreign customers and partners surely does.
