Life / 90 days soon expire - where can I go? [33]

No - I am as out of the loop as you seem to be. I do know this: I have talked to an English-speaking representative at the appropriate office...and my Polish girlfriend has spoken to several officials at the same office who speak Polish...and ALL of them have said it is acceptable for me to leave for one day and return. The proof is in the pudding, so I will likely find out the hard way - but I am proceeding as if this is still copacetic. When I know more, I will chime in once again. Powodzenia!

Life / 90 days soon expire - where can I go? [33]

I was told I could have this extension as long as I signed an agreement stating I would leave Schengen and return before my initial 90 day period lapsed. I will know more tomorrow...stay tuned!

Life / 90 days soon expire - where can I go? [33]

I am an American who is trying to gain residency in Krakow - I have a job offer and all is in line, but I have used up most of my 90 days and must leave the EU (or Schengen - not exactly sure) for a day to restart my initial grace period. Any suggestions on where to go? My first thought is a visit to L'wow in Ukraine - it would be fast, relatively inexpensive, and would get me out of both the EU and Schengen - but perhaps others have better suggestions. Thanks!

Law / Temporary health insurance for residency requirements [11]

I tried to get this today at the PZU, but they refused. They told me I need private health insurance to satisfy my residency requirements. Was I at the wrong office? This office was at ul. Batorego 24 in Krakow. Thanks!

Law / Temporary health insurance for residency requirements [11]

I am an American trying to establish residency in Krakow. Among the many requirements is proof of health insurance (until I gain employment, I guess - the work permit will come a bit later). Medicover and the others discussed in this forum seem to be long-term solutions - any suggestions for short-term health insurance for an expatriate? Thanks!

Food / Frozen uncooked shrimp in Krakow? [3]

Is it possible to find frozen UNCOOKED shrimp in the stores of Krakow? Tesco and Carrefour only seem to have frozen COOKED shrimp, but it doesn't taste as good as uncooked shrimp in my dishes. Thanks!

Law / Marriage in Poland: will I get work permit and residency permit? [4]

I am an American citizen who has met and fallen in love with a Polish woman. I am planning to move to Poland to be with her and hope to find work as an English teacher - however, I understand that it might be difficult to gain a work permit.

She and I have discussed marriage, but we both would prefer to wait - however, if I am unable to gain a work permit, we may consider getting married earlier than anticipated to keep me in the country.

My question: will marriage to a Polish citizen automatically give me the right to a work permit or at least a residency permit? If not, will it make it easier? I know it takes three years to gain citizenship, but my immediate concern is being able to work immediately. Thank you for any input you can provide...
