Law / Certificate of no impediment - Single Status - UK Getting Married in Poland [24]

That is a tricky one. I'm not sure if you can get on in Germany. Could be worth a try. Go to your local town hall and ask.

I have a very close friend from India who had to get something from the town hall to say he has never been married before. As he married a Polish woman in India.

The Polish woman needed CNI too from Poland. His was called something different.

If you cant get them. Then the only way is to marry in India, Vegas or somewhere else first. Not tell any family and get married again in Poland asap after. As she has 28 days to change her documents in Poland or she will be fined.

Law / Certificate of no impediment - Single Status - UK Getting Married in Poland [24]

Hey. You need to get you CNI from your local town hall. Prob back in India.
You have to tell them you are living in India and not Poland at the time of you interview. They list your name for 21 days for other people to see and object to the wedding if they want. Then they send it out to your local address. It is only valid in Poland for 6 months.

You also need your birth cert and christening cert too.

You will need a trip back to India before you can get married. You can not get it in Poland for some reason.

Travel / Experiences with The Modlin Airport? [12]

The first train is at 2:30 from Warsaw Centre and gets to Modlin at 3:20. 12.50zl
Shuttle bus is every 20minutes after 3am. and costs 3.30zl.

I would say get the 2:30am train and bus. It will get you there on time.
I've attched the Train times on a PDF file.

Law / Options on Car Insurance in Poland - No Claims history from UK (LHD) [4]

As you have a LHD. It shouldnt be a problem. Just reg it, get a safety check.
Pay someone to translate your NO Claims Bonus to Polish and that should be enough.
Sounds good. But i will prob take you 2 weeks and you will need someone Polish to help you.

Law / what is well-off in Poland [13]

Hey.

I wouldn't invest the money. As someone above said. Stick it in a bank account in Poland. Some banks offer 5.5% / 6%. You could triple your wage just on your savings.

You could even come to Poland live off the intrest and do a part time job.

Say you moved to a poor side of Poland, like Lublin, Avg wage is 1500zl a month. Found something to take up your time. You would still get 12,000zl before tax on your savings. You could live a great life. Lublin has over 100k students around 70k of them are women.

Warsaw or Krakow would be good too, but the money would get you are far. Krakow is more beautiful then Warsaw. So it could be better for you to relax.

I just think if you have had a job off for a full time job in Warsaw. It would seem great at first. but Warsaw is one of the most conjested citys in the EU. After a few months you might slip back into the hating of work/life stress again.

Law / Personal contents insurance in Poland? [2]

Hey.

Does anyone know of a company what insures personal contents, Like TV, Fridge, washer, and other items you have around the house?
For people who are renting and do not own the flat/house.

We have lots of companies in the UK who do this. I need one in Poland who offer accidental damage cover.

Polonia / relocation from India to Poland [3]

He Helan

I love Chennai, I have family there.
I'm British living in Poland and I love it here.

A good 2nd hand car should be about 25k to 30k. If you needed you could get a cheaper one.

Law / Best inexpensive new car? [23]

kia.pl/Models/Picanto

30,000zl They are getting better. Plus 7 year warranty.

hyundai.pl/Samochody/Osobowe/i10/Ogolnie/

32,000zl. Not a bad car too for 30k.

I would go for the Chevrolet Spark+. It's 29,990zl. Best around for the 30k mark.

Law / Polish Property Bought with Francs - Help [8]

I think you should talk to the Polish bank. See how much they owe to the Bank, How much the Poperty is worth. You might be able to sell the property and pay off the bank. This would then leave them free to live in the UK with no Debt.

Life / Polish dentistry cost - 230 zl for one tooth cavity filling [99]

I spoke to my dentist in Lublin, She is amazing. 1 root canal and 6 white tops would cost around 800zl(£160) and could be done in two days. Around 5 hours total.

I'm English and i didn't look after my teeth and she sorted it all out. She speaks English too.

I'm thinking that Lublin might be cheaper than the North or North West of Poland.
Flights prob cost the same.

Real Estate / leaving apartment in Poland to bank [5]

First thing.
where is your flat? Size?
If your wanting to leave it to the bank.
I will take over your flat and pay the mortgage, as you are going to just leave it anyway.

PM me if you're going to think of this way.

If you just leave it to the bank you will prob spend about 200% more in costs and fines.

USA, Canada / I have a Canadian and Polish passport. Travel on Polish / Canadian passport in Europe? [10]

You dont need a visa. Just show your Canadian passport when you enter the US and if they ask show them your Polish passport as you have duel passports, You will also need an ID with your Canadian address to prove you live in Canada and travel information proving you came from Canada and are going back.

They might hold you up for 10-15 minutes while they check.
Even if they dont allow you into the USA you can stay at the airport and get your flight to Canada. You are not leaving the airport. So it's more or less Canadas move.

Life / I need to go to the Polish Police station (received a shipment with nothing inside) [6]

I'm going to go tonight with a friend. I do not care if everything will be in Polish. It will be PayPal's problem. They haven't asked for it in English. :)

The claim is for $600 and he paid me. Got the item and said he didn't want it. Filed a return via PayPal and when i got it from the Post office the envolope was ripped and only paper inside. He stupidly wrote Watch worth $600 on the side.

Now PayPal are saying if i do not give the polish report from the item what start in December. If the Police will deal with something so old. PayPal want me to go now to file a claim.

Some friendly info. Ever sell anything to the USA via ebay and paypal. Ebay is great, PayPal will screw you over.

Do i get something from them asap or do i have to wait?

PayPal are trying to screw me over.

Thanks in Advance

Travel / Drive from YORK to Southern Poland.......cost? [4]

Hey.

I did Manchester to Lublin 40 months ago.
If you book the ferry early enough from Dover you can get it for about £25.
One tank should be enough from York to dover. Fill up in France.
It cost me £200 (£280 now) in Petrol and a night in Germany. I have a car that does 40miles to a gallon. (8-9L to 100km)

I drove past Hanover and into Poland that way. Should be the best way.
You could go to Warsaw then Southern Poland or Lodz and Radom and Southern Poland.
Depends how Southern you are going.
If you are going to the mountians you could drive via Struttgard

Travel / DRIVING TO POLAND THIS THURSDAY ANY TIPS? [35]

All i can add is: If it says 50KPH then all the cars will be doing 70-80, 70KPH cars will be doing 100.
When i first moved to Poland in my English car i was sticking to the speed limits. I had everything overstake me, Fiat 125p, Lovely old Polish cars and so on. It took me a few days to understand what the speed limit says and what you will drive at.

UK, Ireland / Polish Family stabbed to death in St Helier. [40]

It was two Polish familes. One guy killed the other family, turned the knife on his wife and then himself. He is the only one to who should have died and didn't.

This was Polish killing Polish.
So please no racist comments.

Plus Asia is full of racist people. I've been a few times. I've just came back from India. The people are fantastic. But cos you are WHITE your rich. Doesn't matter that Polish econ is the same as in India. Your WHITE so your rich.

When i say people are fantastic i mean it. They are friendly, respectful and peaceful.
On the other hand if they are selling something it's 20rs to Indians and 750rs to WHITE. Taxi's the same.

UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]

I think you should be strung backwards over a sacrificial shrine and have your fcuking head chopped off, for being such a judgmental, media manipulated drone.

So you think it's right to pilfer?
I do not mind people protesting at all, as long as they do not hurt anyone.
Would you like it if they burnt your house or life down?

Who are you calling a yank? Why did you bring that up? I'm British.

UK, Ireland / Is moving to UK now a good idea? - antipolish prejudice of the Brits [231]

I think she did it to herself. She shouldn't have worded it like she did.
1% of English and non-english. Mostly black with no English grandparents caused everything. Just cos 1% do it doesn't mean she should say it's all of us. That is what has pissed everyone off.

If she worded it about the arseholes who rioted then she would have been fine. But she didn't.

If i got attacked by 10 people in Warsaw and said all the Polish are scum, you would then feel wronged like most of us English have felt.

Don't get me wrong. I think the people who damaged or stole anything should be blinded like the child from slum dog millionare.
