Well I did all that, will my application and there was no problems when she read through it...well heres hoping for the best

I have left before my 90 days...so I should technically have another 20 left
Lets hope I encounter no problems on the train back

Life / 90-DAY VISA-FREE STAYS IN POLAND? [19]

Why is it that the lady at the office for Foreighners told me to leave the Shengen Area for a day or two and then when I come back in, to register myself at the local council...she said nothing about waiting for the decision elsewhere....

How frustrating..clearly no one knows how the system is suppose to work, and if the do they dont seem to follow the rules...

What you should do is leave before your 90 days is up...and I think you need to be out of the shengen area for at least a day

so if you leave before your 90 days you will technically still have some days left...

Ive never overstayed the 90 days and have been flying to Uk for a week and then returned..and have done this like twice I think and I was never questioned..but then again I never knew about the 180 day period until now! But yeah, the passport control never said anything to me so I thought the 90 days just started again!

I suggest applying for a residence permit (which i have done)
much more easier for future and in the end saves all those trips every 90 days...

Life / Passport stamped when leaving Shengen territory? [12]

I am an Australian and I have applied for a temporary resident permit in Poland as I have a work promise and am enrolled in studying polish

Anyway the office for foreigners said I needed to leave the shengen territory before my 90 days and then come back and show them my stamp

But I was wondering that if I went to train to say Romania or Bulgaria if my passport would get stamped or not?

Any clues would be great as I really need to sort myself out here

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

im in exactly the same situation...
only i cant go to the ukraine without a visa so thats not an option but hoping to go to croatia/romania or bulgaria

hopefully it will work

just to be clear, the office of foreigners gave you a letter stating you applied for residency?

Life / People with Down Syndrome/Mental disability in Poland [26]

I worked in vision imping aired/special school in krakow so there are people who are handicapped..

But poland as a country isnt exactly set up with the best facilities to support handicapped people...all those stairs at station, and the pavements are the best either

From what a student told me at the school, its extremely hard for someone with mental or physical problems as the government doesnt give enough funding in helping parents care for the kids and according to the students, only now are carers becomig more popular, but again people in poland probably couldn't afford one

But hopefully it will all change in the near future..

Love / This is probably going to be silly but.. I really want a Polish boyfriend [44]

well from my experience with mine, he is pretty sweet and dont know if its a polish thing, but they seem to get into their relationships and dont treat gf/bf like its a short term thing..thats just been my experience with the poles ive met

and whats with polish people absolutelly loving babies..its almost embarrassing watching my bf cooing over a baby

thought i was suppose to be the clucky one..
