Law / How long does it take to get a Polish Resident card and Work Permit? [13]

[Moved from]: Work permit & Resident card

Hi all,

My work visa and resident card will expire in 50days

So, am wondering if I should prolong my work visa first or I can apply new work visa and new resident card at the same time? What are the procedures to get this done?

Do you know where i can download the form for Resident Card application?

Thanks.

Law / Setting up a Chinese Language School in Poland - good business idea? [41]

Hi guys, thanks for the comments, yes, there is confucions institute in Wroclaw but they are tartgeting stundets.

Learning Chinese can be easier than learning English. Chinese has no irregular verbs or noun plurals to be learned. Words have only a single form, with no suffixes for number, tense, number and case. Chinese is a tonal language with different pitch patterns which do not just add emotional colour as in English. With the right learning methodology, as well as your commitment and interest, learning Chinese is just as easy as learning other languages.

what would be the best marketing strategy to attract more polish to learn Chinese?

Law / Spółka komandytowa-Limited partnership in Poland [4]

Hi all,

I am foreigner in Poland and being told that I should set up Spółka komandytowa (lmited partership company) instead of spolka z.o.o ( limited liability company). I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages between this two in term of business scope, personal and corporate tax, social security tax ( ZUS), ease of setting up, risk and liability.

My business partner is Polish, and we intend to set up a language school.

Do you have any experience in setting up company in Poland?

Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Regards,

Rocjovi - yes, it is a niche market. And we dont know how big the market is, thats why i am posting it in here. Thanks for your reply. Maybe you are right, we can't teach one language in our centre. Can your boss speak Chinese now.

delphiandomine - I am in Wroclaw now. Good points! Absolutely agree. My business partner is Polish ( I am Asian) and he is so confident about this chinese school, insists that those Managers will learn English and Chinese at the SAME TIME as the lesson will be conducted in English. I have different opinion and agree on what you have just pointed out, thats why i need second opinion. I went around the language schools in Wroclaw and being told that nobody is interested in Chinese, just wondering if those language schools have not done a good job in marketing, etc. I can't really find a chinese teacher who can speak Polish in Poland. I have given out 100 copies of questionnaire, lets see if the result is positive.

I was just wondering why some polish prefer to have polish teacher to teach them English rather than a native speaker who doesnt speak a word of Polish?

What do you think if we have our materials in English and Polish ( will get someone to translate) and the teacher will use English to teach. Just a thought really.

Thanks.

hi delphiandomine,

We are targeting managers or directors who can speak English. Our teachers are native qualified teachers from china, they speak English and chinese, not Polish. Our market will be very limited because our teachers do not speak Polish as we will teach in English.

I thought many upper management executives would be interested as they might deal with China when it comes to work/business??

Thanks.

Law / Setting up a Chinese Language School in Poland - good business idea? [41]

Hi all,

I am planning to set up a Chinese Language School in Wroclaw, I dont know if this is a good business idea and if Polish will enrol and study Chinese. Poles think Chinese is a difficult language. Would appreciate if you could provide some information as follows:

1. Are there any chinese langauge school in wroclaw or Poland?
2. Besides Chinese, which asian languages are popular in Poland?
3. I notice some universities do offer asian languages, is that for their own student or public? I am wondering if my private school will be competing with the universities.

4. Do you think many poles will learn Chinese?

There are too many English Language Schools around, i hope the Chinese School will be a success in Poland.

Thanks.
