Law / Retirees immigration regulations in Poland [34]

from the expat site:

Residence permits are normally granted to EU citizens who plan to work in Poland for more than 12 months, or who can provide evidence of health insurance and sufficient resources to support themselves in Poland without resort to public funds. Permits are normally issued for an initial period of 5 years, and are renewable for further 5 year terms

also, on the visa application there is a spot for a reason for the visit which has a few different choices but one of them is: "other (please specify)" which could work for retirement.

but to be fair, when i looked into this a while back, i sure never did find a way for a non pole to be able to move to PL and retire even if they were a millionaire (unless you were married to a polish person - see the two links above). you either have to be Polish or be productive in PL while you stay here.. also see the link below; there seem to be only 4 ways for a foreigner to be able to stay in PL and I have not found any links that would say "to stay for an indefinite amount of time".. they all say specific.. if you are thinking of retiring, that would not be specific amount of time.

so the only other way to retire in PL that i can think of would be to become a PL citizen.. that info can be found on your local PL embassy/consulate website.

Work / Trojmiasto Job Forecast in Five Years [8]

this is presuming i'd be fluent in the language already before the move

do you think you will be fluent in PL in five years? i wish you good luck. as to the other, you have variety of skills.. whether you can make anything out of them is really up to you.. i'm thinking, the easiest way for you would be to hook up with other englishmen and work it that way.. good luck

Shouldn't we step in and help the spaniards by getting all their women pregnant?
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it right?

zuczek

where are you from and what is your nationality? it makes a difference.. but, i never heard of "retirement" as the reason for residency..

History / DID THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OF POLAND CENSOR MAIL IN AND OUT OF POLAND [29]

with this google surveillence thing on the news today and with it been nothing but the tip of the tip if the iceberg i wonder how much of our elecronic mail is read and disected today.Just watched that German movie recently "other peoples lives" it took a lot of manpower for the the stassi to operate. i doubt the Bush patriot act need as much to do their massive job.

i'm pretty sure all correspondence between USA and servers outside of the mainland are screened under the unPatriotic Law.

Don't bother yourself. If you are not a bloody terrorist, they won't waist their precious time on you.

let me repeat this: ALL correspondence between USA and outside world is screened.

I am sure you guys got quite distorted lessons where the West was concerned.

the west was never portrayed as the enemy.. never when i was around anyway.

Do you think that would have happened?

if not the forces, the people would have.

History / Casimir the Great (Kazimierz Wielki) started anti-Semitism? [101]

True man. There are more Jew-related threads on this forum than on any other forum I have been to LOL

i don't agree but the number is high, none the less.

the thread where I asked about what is in the Polish interest

"they" are not.. i bet..

why the f*ck do people like Polonius and other sockpuppets feel the need to obsessively discuss the topic on forums about Poland?

because he's a jew..

All of 'Jewish problem' stem from greed of sczhlata,

or is it because of jewish greed? hmm

If you don't care, why do you have so much to say?

he doesn't care which = he hates them..

Are there no reasons for anti-semitism withing the Jews themselves? None?

of course not.. they are the chosen folk.. lol

and Israel is on the other bloody hemisphere.

actually it is not..

i noticed there's baiting happening here.

and you love to bite.

You, as Poles, should take care of every single hint of intolerance within your society towards other people.

lol.. fat chance..

Law / Retirees immigration regulations in Poland [34]

YEAH consult a lawyer!

definiteloy as the rules have been changing and so who knows exactly what they may be today..

I know it's becoming a tempting option for retired Polonia as it's a much cheaper (and easier) place to live

i would say that time has passed.. it's not as an attractive place to retire these days.. cheaper? depends what you're comparing PL with.

so, look long and hard and visit PL a bunch before uprooting where you are now.

History / What are the key features of the Polish Eagle? [56]

yeah, i'm against the 'in god we trust' on the money.. it has nothing to do with anything.. it makes no sense.. it would make sense on vatican coin but not on US currency..

the double headed eagle (yes russian) with the white eagle in the middle.. congress of poland.. 1815

History / What are the key features of the Polish Eagle? [56]

You don't change symbols at will.

is that right?

it is now also symbolic of their defeat.

that's not a logical symbolism.. kind of sounds like a pollack joke.. and then we wonder..

History / Slovakian misrepresentation of Polish history [33]

You are thanking the wrong person):

huh? that is the right person. you're confusing czechs with slovaks. :)

No harm done, our Górale might have a good laugh from someone claiming they're opressed or Slovakian and thats that.

some gorale are polish, some are slovakian.. and that is that. ever hear of Janosik? he surely wasn't polish goral.

History / What are the key features of the Polish Eagle? [56]

The crown on it's head is important.

kind of.. PL hasn't been a kingdom in over a couple of centuries so the crown really doesn't fit to be on the head but for some reason it's insisted on.. i don't get it.

the eagle is white.. no red.. all features are important as it's unique..

You forgot the main thing, its image should be placed upon the wing of the black double headed eagle

lol.. that's actually a golden eagle but yeah.

History / Slovakian misrepresentation of Polish history [33]

does PL still have a border dispute with Slovakia or has that been resolved? it's been a number of years since i've seen info about it but nothing solid.. never knew what it was about.. do any of you know and could shed some light on that issue?

Genealogy / DeAmong, DeCroix - Finding a countess [15]

So even the first name Bronislova isnt polish?

In polish the name is Bronisława.. it is a slavic name though, like i said. it could be russian or ukrainian or slovakian or...

as to the surname.. definitely not slavic and no way there is a place with that name either.

as to the times.. there was no poland... poland was occupied by the three powers that divided it in late 18th century.

USA, Canada / Do you speak English? Have you lived in America? New LOVE/HATE list......... [144]

George W Bush (may not like his foreign policy but he is a cool dude)

no, he definitely wasn't that.

And every other seditious neocon-wing wacko lib who is doing their best to bring this country down.

the stupid repos are the ones bringing the country down.. bush and co. are the ones who came up with no child left behind and then didn;t fund it.. dude.. look into some of this stuff and don't be spoon fed by the dudes on your first list.. this is what makes me sad about america.. sheep like you..

Gun ownership can actually deter violent crimes, which I know sounds somewhat ridiculous, but please bare with me. Criminals will find a way to acquire firearms, no matter the nation's laws. Without the right of a citizen to protect himself with firearm, the criminals can have free reign to do whatever they like.

how many shooting are there per capita in PL? how about Australia? how abut Canada? hmm.. blows holes in your theory

USA, Canada / Can Polish citizens with US greencard travel to Canada? [63]

Yes, it is.

what is happening in the US right now is not socialism. not even close man. you know better then that. i know you do.

...and yes, I'm sure they'll target the many Poles too. Laws are to be followed by each and every nationality.

no they won't as you can't tell a polak from an american but all latinos will have to deal with being pulled over and interrogated and solely based on the way they look or in other words, the color of their skin.

Wrong plk

no i am not.. see my above comment.. the other thing is that you are saying, and that is why i called it what it is, is that all latinos bring drugs into the country and that they also commit most of the crime.. for one.. drugs are coming into the USA because there is a demand for them.. it's a free market thing.. as to crime.. you know better.. most crime is not committed by latinos at all.. so, in conclusion the AZ law is unconstitutional because it is racist.. it will not stand up to the scrutiny of the courts.. that is my bet anyway.

I understand why you think his universal health care ordeal is good and I sympathise.

btw. this has nothing to do with my situation as the new law has had 0 effect on it and most likely won't. so, you are familiar with the swedish system.. why do you find it wrong? there are so many reason to support this and i really can't think of many against it. just my 2 pennies.

USA, Canada / Can Polish citizens with US greencard travel to Canada? [63]

Neither is it supposed to be the blame America first pseudo-socialist workers' paradise that the Messiah is trying to impose on us.

oh jeez.. that is not what is happening at all.. not even close man.. come on now.. i would think that you would know better then that.

Are we really asking the law to check out just as many white people as latin ones? Does that make sense?

but there are millions of legal latinos here and they will ALL be under scrutinised.. how is that fair.. do you think they'll ever ask any of the number of poles that are illegally here to show their papers??

and look like the 99% of people who're smuggling drugs into our country - get used to us being suspicious toward you. The day your brother-ens stop poisoning our nation with drugs and stop kidnapping, raping and murdering our citizens we will stop viewing you with suspicion

that's just racist crap, i'm sorry but i call it how i see it. that is not AMERICA we all know and love.

USA, Canada / Can Polish citizens with US greencard travel to Canada? [63]

I think many people that come here from politically opressed countries are blowing this out of proportion.

not out of proportion.. it's just americans are becoming sheep and these kind of laws remind these folk from abroad why they skipped their former locations.. this is not how america is supposed to be..
