UK, Ireland / Questions about getting Polish Visa from London [4]

Nov 23, 09, 18:57 - Thread attached on merging:
Visa to Go to Poland?

Hi All,
My wife and I have been married for about 3 yrs. In that duration, whenever I have been to Poland, I have had to go for a 6 months visitors' Visa from the Polish embassy in London.I now have a 5 year Family Member Residence Card. Do I still have to go for a Polish visa if I'm travelling to Poland. I'm getting concerned because my passport is quickly filling up with these Visas.

Regards

Farouk

UK, Ireland / Questions about getting Polish Visa from London [4]

Hi all,
I have to go to the polish embassy in London for a visa on Monday as I will be travelling with my wife to poland next month. I am now filling the form. What should I choose for the type of Visa? (Short Stay/Long Stay). What are the requirements for making a long stay application? Also how long does the application take? Can I get it back on the same day.

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Law / Selling on Allegro from UK [19]

some well-known online ones and generally speaking prices are quite low... it's hard to believe that you will have much lower prices.

Instead of being a foolhardy, i thinks its probably better to look at something else or look in another direction. One day I will get another Idea and will float it here.. Thanks to you all.

I am thinking if I will not be able to do it, its better to let u guys know the source in case you are interested..what do you think?

that settles my doubts and I feel I have a chance. Thank you all for sharing..Since I'm still looking for business opportunities, any window of opportunity that anyone wishes to share such as a potential market in poland is very much welcomed.

Thank you guys for all the insight. I think the best way will be to sell generic products where language will not be a major factor such as Dvd-drives, processors and motherboards

what do you think..will the instruction manuals still have to be in polish

Exactly that is why I want to step into that market..the fact that there is a market is all that is important. the challenges are what seperate enterpreneurs from consumers. I'm sure there is a way to make money there. Given the saturation of items on ebay.co.uk, you would think no new business can be started there..well my wife just buys crap from charity shop and list it there and make some very good returns even though its not a proper business so she doesn't take it very serious. So I'm sure there is a market there worth exploring. I had a look at the price margins on allegro for the kind of stuf I want to sell and realised if I managed to sell an Item there, I would make a lot of profit. the only challenge is setting the process in place, identifying the market behaviour and adapting to it and that is exactly why am here..

best regards

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking there would be special keyboards with the special polish characters wriiten on it...anyway that was a good clarification. Maybe instaed of going with whole systems, i could do only parts

@tj123
Thanks for your point, but dont you think if we setup the process properly and streamlined some of them, some of these problems can be solved?

Thank you so much..This is a huge encouragement for me..just a thought on the third point..
getting keyboards with Polish layouts will not be a problem but the operating system itself running in english...will that be a major issue?

My wife is got an account on there so we can use hers for now. However i cant think of why they would want to send activation code via postage..any reason for that?

I am also thinking about creating a website instead but I do not know if that is a good market in Poland..any thoughts? I am a programmer so that will not cost me apart from time.

best regards

Hi All,
I am starting a business and would want to sell to the Polish market from UK via allegro.pl or ebay.pl. I am learning Polish from my wife who will help me with listings but I have some few issues I will need help on. Any feedback will be welcomed.

1. Is it feasible to post items from UK quickly to buyer in Poland without creating a warehouse in poland?
2. How effective is the payment by post system used in Poland. is the time difference from payment so long that it makes running an online business unfeasible?

3. Just to make the next question clearer, I will be selling computers. Do I have to get Polish specific versions of the computers or the english versions , which is what I have at the moment, from my supplier will be fine.

Best Regards
