I'm from Spain and I´ve been living in Poland for a year. Living in Warsaw is awesome! I might be a bit biased because living in the capital it´s not really representative of the whole country, but generally speaking, you have everything you might need and want. There´s no need to speak polish to get a good job and almost everyone (even some old people) speaks at least a bit of English, if not very well. Definitively, everyone should come to Poland and experience how such an unknown country abroad can be this good.

People from Spain and Latin America are increasingly coming to Poland to settle here. I know a few of them in Warsaw and they don't seem to regret their move. Btw, do you know Francisco Galarraga's bar that serves delicious Argentinian empanadas? I recommend it, it's at Grzybowska street.

I visited Warsaw two years ago from NY and was blown away. I have been to most of the big cities in Europe and this visit exceeded my expectations. I would even go as far to say that Poland is a quiet storm coming, slowly but surely and everyone should take notice. The value you get for the money there is far more superior than many other European cities.

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

That's very nice of you to say that. Poland is very underrated for some reason, yet it shines in many areas. The only thing inferior in Poland comparing to these European icons are the salaries. But that's something a tourist doesn't experience. I must say though that in Poland we feel a little sad when we hear how cheap Poland is, because for us it's not. Some things can be like twice cheaper for tourist, but we make 4 times less than this tourist. So imagine having the prices doubled where you live, basically. That's Poland for us.

[@jaimehaiti9479]

@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 I agree with you. In my humble opinion, the problem came from the way Poland negotiated its position in the EEU initially. Mistakes were made, from protecting farmlands, including the sugar industry and more. Otherwise, its GDP would have been much stronger than it already was 11 years ago and going. The key moving forward is to cast your industrial net far and wide, beyond the EEU. Everyone has been doing it with even a designated ministry to reinforce this initiative via the diplomatic channel.

The 17th century was full of wars between Poland/Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) that climaxed with the battle of Viena in 1683. Mutual Polish-Turkish relations began changing (improving) in the 18th century, due to the emergence of a common threat to Poland/Lithuania and Turkey: the Russian Empire. It is said that Turkey was the only (partly)-European power that never recognised officially the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian state and its vanishing from Europe's map in 1795. Poland and Turkey have been doing between them very well ever since.

as for payments ... if you speak a foreign language or you are an IT specialist or a programmer, you can find a very well-paid job in Poland, but your salary compared to Western Europe will be quite low if you convert from PLN to EUR, while with such a payment you can expect a very high standard of living in Poland, maybe even better than in Western Europe or the North. But when you move from Finland, for example, do not expect that you will save money to start a new life in Finland, but your standard of living for a payment of EUR 2,000 in Poland will be better than in Finland.

Hi Kaja, thank you very much for your sharing and take the time to make this video. I'm moving to Warsaw soon from Shanghai and it will be great to have new friends to hang out with.

[@disneyplay4]

I've met some Polish fellas here in Canada and I liked them. They're very talkative, reminds me of Italians.

[@ActiveAussie2024]

What about electricity/gas, power prices, fuel, in Poland?

[@obitundemichael6383]

I love your talk show. Can a factory worker live with his family in poland before he/she get another well paid job?

[@gypsystar7292]

No, he/she will not be able to support the family from factory worker's wages.

Hello, very interesting video, would you share what is the tax payment for foreigner workers in Poland?

[@ActiveAussie2024]

Good video. Really enjoyed. I 've thought about living in Poland. I lived and worked in Asia for years, got tired of that. Warsaw looks ok , but I might check out Krakow or Gdansk, or Poznan. I can speak Chinese fairly well, so I don't think learning Polish will be too hard. Pronunciation is always the hard part.

thanks! glad to hear!

Wonderful video as always. One question I have is this. The buildings we walked by in your video, are the second and third floors occupied? Are there apartments above the main street? The towns around Maine where I live have lovely old architecture. Unfortunately the top floors above the business’s are all empty. No one looks up, so no one cares. Lots of apartment potential goes to waste. Is it the same in Poland?

[@KajaKubicka]

Thank you! As far as I know people do live there :)

[@brexitgreens]

Waste of real estate is very rare in Poland, even in small cities. However empty shops happen, especially nowadays.

Hi. Does employer in Poland require applicants take medical exam? Thanks.

I checked wages for few jobs in Poland and they were not high. Lower than in Portugal or Spain. I think now wages in Eastern Europe are pretty good, so I was a bit surprised. Also, not in euros, so always headache of conversion.

[@yasmina9485]

Cost of living is different. You’re better off with a smaller wage in Poland. You can afford more than with your wage in Spain or Portugal.

[@sw8398]

Yeah it's expensive too. I'm in Krackow and it's more expensive than in the UK. Room rent Supermarkets..People stare,are shy, and have to coks a smile from them... But it is Beautiful

[@noone2194]

Not the best time to move to Eastern Europe, inflation of 11-15%, people can afford less and less, not saying they could have afforded much before. If you get paid the average salary, you can afford to rent 40 sq m flat on the suburbs of small city ( don’t even dream abt center of the biggest ones ) also don’t even dream about buying a flat or a house since bcs of the inflation, prices are absurdly high. Then you spend half of your salary on rent, the rest on utilities, food ( absurdly expensive rn ) and gasoline ( also absurdly expensive) and then you have nothing left to enjoy life

[@quant2011]

Salaries are awesome in Poland! If you rent a 40-50sqm in a major city, you will have some $ left to buy toilet paper! * and not much more , but who cares, parents will cover the difference, right banana kids?

[@times4937]

Poland is one of the cheapest EU countries, 63% of the EU average, is a country outside the euro area whose economic policy is focused on attracting investors and expanding exports. The real purchasing power of the average salary is higher than in Portugal and slightly lower than in Spain (AIC index). 1,300 euros in Warsaw has the purchasing power of 2,000 euros in Berlin. In Poland, rental housing is not very popular, most of the population owns the real estate in which they live. The vast majority of Poles prefer to live in the suburbs and in the province,

this is a perfect place for retirement, so you are getting some money from your country that might be not that much there, but in Poland you're upper class :D

[@mueroft5]

According to salaries, they are much lower than western Europe but also costs of living are affordable For example in Katowice where I live renting a normal standard room is cost like 650-800 PLN, studio costs 1100-1400 PLN, bills usually not higher than 250 PLN a month Food and things you must buy is 750-1000 PLN And net minimum salary is 2700 PLN (2023) so I think it's not so bad 😁

Hey, Kaya. Your videos are just gorgeous! I have a question in regard to your latest video about Poland, that is why would you rather choose Poland over Denmark? I realize that you’ve got an EU citizenship, and you can work legally in both and at the same time it’s obvious that salaries in Denmark are higher, my guess would be that Poland has more growth potential or easiness in terms of landing a job. Please, clarify, if possible. Thank you in advance! Best greetings from a Ukrainian living in China.✌️

[@antekp2965]

"salaries in Denmark are higher" in 1990 GDP per capita in Denmark was roughly $ 27k whereas in Poland $ 1.7k so you had 15 times higher GDP per capita in Denmark. even 30 years of steady economic growth cannot work miracle (except in China)
