Marriage in Poland: will I get work permit and residency permit?

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...

If you are an international star striker then you may get citizenship almost overnight But an ordianry bloke marrying a Polish national does speed things up a bit. Usually 5 years residence in Poland is requried to qualify but marraige to a Pole may cut that down to only 3 years. It's not really automatic, because each case is dealt with (or so they say) individually.

You don't need a work permit. You need to set up a one-person company.

I,ve completed BA (hons) & MA and also am doing an0ther MA Krakow, Poland. But I want to start a garments business. Because in my home we have garments factory. I want to export our products in Poland. Here have a golden opportunity. Still now I am single. Also I want to marry a nice Polish girl even contact Marriage. So please inform me the process.
