Real Estate / Gmina inner road / fence along the boundary of my land in Poland? [11]

something similar to this: bip.powiat.busko.pl/j/pliki/wydzialy/ab/wnioski/zgl_budowy_ogrodzenia.pdf

File 30 days before you start, If there is no written objection from gmina in 30 days you may go ahead. You should describe your job and provide signed statement that you have land title for the property, may include drawings that could be done by yourself

and no sharp objects, endings, barbed wires lower then 1.8 m, no gates less then 0.9 m and no gate opening outside :)

Travel / Zakopane in December (is it hotel-friendly?) [19]

Study / Foreigner in Gliwice to study - is it safe? [4]

Gliwice isn't far from Katowice where you could go by train for some 2 eur (one way, 40 min). Gliwice would be perfectly save yet don't expect many foreigners living there - it has population of some 200 000. Nearby Katowice would have much more to offer in terms of number of foreigners, parties and things to do.

Love / Foreigners: would you have moved to Poland if it was full of fat/ugly women? [42]

"Foreigners: would you have moved to Poland if it was full of fat/ugly women?"

I'm not a foreigner but would answer your question anyway, with a twist. I'm contemplating moving to Uganda and if it was full of fat/ugly women I wouldn't move there that is wouldn't consider moving there.

Travel / Whats your favourite Polish city and why? [132]

Gdynia. It's small enough to make you feel you know your surroundings well. Has good number of tourists and foreigners to make you feel worldly enough. Poeple are friendlier then where I come from. Love the coffee shop culture there. The beach perhaps isn't the greatest but you're minutes away from Sopot by convenient transportation and can always go to Gdansk to have it all big. Love Świętojańska street; could go back and forth and riding trolejbusy is fan and quiet. Women dress up pretty, old folks are grounded. Best barber shop in Gdynia. HSW Gdynia. Beach volleyball summer every day. Cool dogs. Good manners. Could live there every summer for 2 months.

Study / Msc Mining & Power at Wroclaw University [6]

the school is reputable. English courses are probably made solely for students from Angola and Nigeria as Poland has some government agreement with those countries dealing with education in mining sector. Recently a polish school program has been opened in one of those countries ...cooper mining being main concern . As for admission ..as long as you pay and have some prior education you should be admitted. I didn't really study the subject , just read on it here and there some time ago.

News / Too much history in Poland? [7]

Some of the so many historical reenactment events like ...Wolyn massacre where they build straw houses, set them on fire and run around with pitchforks pretending the murder are so annoying. It has often nothing to do with commemorating victims or educating, rather being a form of silly entertainment. After Wolyn reenactment I'm waiting for some to show us reenactment of holocaust in concentration camps...

too much history

Travel / Jezioro Roznowskie [3]

You probably mean Jezioro Rożnowskie (not Rosnowskie). You can get there by bus to Tęgoborze (2hrs, 16 zl one way); all buses toward Nowy Sącz..

Some land for sale offers in this area -by J. Rożnowskie: mieszkania.trovit.pl/dzialka-jezioro-ro%C5%BCnowskie

You could take a boat trip ; take off from Gródek n. Dunajcem toward Rożnów

Work / Is there a market for teaching Dutch in Poland [22]

Wroclaw would be special with so many offers as they apparently have Dutch language department at university there so I think graduates and students would offer classes. Few natives, at least on this website which is entirely polish so no surprise. Many are certified though or they claim so.

Law / US citizen looking to live in Poland for 6+ months like a long-term tourist [51]

Poland National D-type visa from: msz.gov.pl/en/travel_to_poland/visa/

If you intend to stay in the territory of Poland for a total of more than 90 days (at least 91 days) during one or more visits within a half-year period calculated from the date of first entry, you need to apply for a national D-type visa.

- stay in the territory of Poland throughout the period of its validity;
- additionally move within the territory of other Schengen states for up to three months within a half-year period.

What documents do you need when submitting a D-type national visa application?

1. Travel document:
2. Completed and signed visa application form.
3. Biometric photo.
4. Visa fee.
5. Health insurance.
6. Supplementary documents confirming:
- the purpose of the visit,
- possession of sufficient funds to cover the cost of entry, stay and departure from theterritory of Poland;
- the necessity of staying in the territory of Poland for more than 90 days within a half-year period.

The types and number of supplementary documents may differ depending on the consular office. In this connection we advise you to contact the relevant consulate to obtain full information concerning the documents needed when submitting a visa application.

Law / US citizen looking to live in Poland for 6+ months like a long-term tourist [51]

you are only allowed to stay for 90 out of 180 days in any Schengen country; I heard you could extend your stay but for few days, maybe weeks; better search "extending Schengen visa"...you may overstay with not much problems yet once you leave you'd be banned from Schengen for long time. Your best option would be to get some volunteering or perhaps job or any other papperwork proving you'd have reason to stay for longer then tourist permit. It can be done yet better for you would be to have it all settled before the trip. Once you land here on tourist visa it might get difficult to change your status.
