I'm an AMERICAN EXPAT who just MOVED to POLAND.

I'm so happy to let you know that I just moved to Poland. I met some other American guys and they had a room for rent in their shared apartment. So I decided to rent it. Let me show you where I live, how much I pay and why I decided to move here. After that I show you part of my daily routine here in Wroclaw. I'm so happy to be living here in Poland, can't wait to see more of this beautiful country.

We extend a warm welcome to those with kind hearts. Clients who have relocated to Poland over the past seven years report no racial issues, emphasizing the country's cultural depth and respectful nature. Poland offers a place where you can start anew, advance your career, and build a family. The people are amicable and respectful, mindful of personal boundaries, reflecting a strong sense of personal culture.

How about tthat! I did not know moving abroad was so easy. Your pronunciation of Polish words is already good, do you pick up languages easily?

[@TravelAddictGuy]

I've been to over a dozen countries and already lived in a few. I also speak Spanish, so I do enjoy learning at least basics in another language.

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

[@PodGoszkimNiebem]

​@@TravelAddictGuyIf you speak Spanish, there are few words that relate across the board. For me speaking and reading in Polish allowed me to learn other languages much easier. 😅❤

[@TravelAddictGuy]

@NIEBO164 Spanish has been a great tool for me as Spanish speakers are everywhere. It also helped me pronounce other languages due to similarities. That's wonderful to hear that Polish has helped you so much.

How hard is it to live there as a US citizen? What are the rules & guidelines?

Any help I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@TravelAddictGuy]

I assume you could live with your husband on the military base. Otherwise you can stay 90 days in the Schengen zone visa free. So if you are looking to stay longer, you will need to get a visa. Every case is different, so I think you should consult a reputable Immigration attorney. Good luck.

My understanding is there were some dangerous neighborhoods here 20 or 30 years ago. But that has since changed. It's now a vibrant city, undergoing a revival in many of these former places. It's also becoming quite an international city now. Attracting many foreign visitors.

[@imienazwisko3774]

Oh my God, prices in Wrocław for hiring a place are much higher than in Liverpool. I must rise the rent Ukrainians pay me for 2 bed flat, only 1200 zł per month in Rybnik.

Wandy in high-rise building 76 square metre, 4 bed, 520 zł rent, about 100 for gas and electricity. It seems I cannot afford to come back to Poland, it is more expensive than UK in some cities.
