Law /
US citizen looking to live in Poland for 6+ months like a long-term tourist [51]
Because you only get 180 days total per year on visitor visa's.
So if you already have a 90 day one and it is about to run out you leave and go to Germany on the 89th day, spend one day in Germany, come back to Poland then they will give you another 90 day one which totals 180 days for that year.
Then you will have to leave Poland, wait six months to get your next visa.
That was my understanding before the EU so I don't know how it works now.
In my post I said that I stand to be corrected.
Every country is different and Poland is a stickler.
Take Jamaica for example.
If you are married to a Jamaican you can go there and stay as long as you want.
If you live in Jamaica at least 180 days in each of three consecutive years you can apply for citizenship quite easily.
Poland it seems still has that Communist mentality of pink paper, blue papers, paper papers and stamp this and stamp that bureaucracy so everyone gets a slice of the pie in the government at your expense.
Anything worth while is not cheap or easy.
Do it right the first time.
