UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

I see noimmigration gets a hard time from everyone but I see the good he does.
noimmigration's views are such that most if not all of us disagree, he is a one man army, he is doing more for immigrants than anyone else. Who would follow him and his views? he even goes out of his way to really be disliked. Make the counter argument so bad that people would never follow it, it is a tactic used.

Law / How do you set up a company in Poland? [46]


Hello,
Yes there is 19% capital gains tax (tax on the profits) if you sell within five years unless you write to the tax office and tell them you are going to use the money in another project within two years. I am just after doing this myself.

I would also recommend living here at least for the majority of the time and commuting to Ireland, decisions need to be made and arses need to be kicked some times and if you are not here, nobody else will do it (same applies everywhere).

I have found very good builders after meeting some of the worlds biggest dopes.
I recommend not going for the cheapest offer you get, there are a load of cowboys. Basically there is loads of construction work here in Poland and good builders simply do not have time they are so busy and this leaves times for cowboys. Book in advance a good builder and get references.

Please excuse if what I say is obvious, I am also new to this and I do not know what you know.
Where abouts in Poland are you looking, just out of curiosity?
Best of luck


Ha ha ha,
It is so funny because it is true.
I like it!
Welcome to Poland!.

Law / How do you set up a company in Poland? [46]

Hello brian1712 ,
I am from Ireland and have my own company.
There are different types of companies depending on what you want to do, some tax structuring wouldn't go astray before you set up a company, just keep in mind what you want to do in the future.

It would help if you asked much more specific questions.
Do you intend on subcontracting your work or employing people full time.
Taxes a high.
Which kinds of property and even where (rough Idea).
By a permit do you mean a real estate license? If so, the answer is yes.
You should be able to find lots of info and links to more info on this forum in the Polish property section, I would read everything with a pinch of salt, you know yourself.

Best of luck


I can not answer your question but teaching English goes under education so good lower taxes.

Polonia / Are Polish people required to have tourist visa for Thailand? [32]


Absolutely not, you can go and have a wonderful time.
Of course keep your eyes open but I would recommend that generally, at least while not asleep.

We loved Cambodia,
It was rough around the edges. We actually prefered it to Thailand in many respects, it was not so touristic.
I better stop, if you have more specific questions I will answer, I can go on and on about travelling and I do not want to be rude. I am not used to forum decorum , ah ha I am a poet and I didn't know it!

I pmed you some stuff.

I'm gonna learn Polish in a month!
I would say you are too used to microwave dinners.


I completely agree.
Do you speak any other languages masks98?
One of the things I find about languages is that it is better to do a little all the time than a lot in a small amount of time, that is just for me and may not apply to you.

I wish you luck. I also think Polish forum should run a test for you at the end of the month? ;0)

Polonia / Are Polish people required to have tourist visa for Thailand? [32]


Hello I have just come back from Cambodia and Thailand with a Polish friend.
We made the mistake of assuming that because we are EU we would be treated the same.
Polish people can only have a two week visa in Thailand if you get it at the Thai airport. It is a nightmare getting the visa, it makes Polish beurocracy seem simple, and that is really saying something, I do not remember how much it cost.

We had to go to the Thai embassy in Phnom Pen (Cambodia)where they took my friends passport off her for one week. Note Polish people can not renew their visas at the boarder like Irish can.

This can all be avoided by doing it through the Thai Embassy in the country you are in. One month visa is no problem then.

Cambodia is much more user friendly to Polish tourists, you can even bribe the boarder officials if you need to.
Let me know if there is anything else you need to know

I have just read what I have written and it is all true, except I left out one very important thing. We loved it, my friends passport was taken away from her but we loved Phnom Pen and had a fantastic time. I would recommend it to everyone.

Again any if you have any further questions, I would be more than happy to help

Work / Are you teaching English in Poland? [120]

I used to charge a rich guy 100Zloty an hour and he'd buy the beer. Last time I saw him was when I gave up the drink for a while and just stuck to water. God he was boring.... he just wanted someone to drink with, grand like but after a while you know yourself


Good thing about Callan is you do not need to prepare, when you know the books, but it is boring as hell


Fair comment.

Sorry.... ha ha ha but I think some people on this forum could give you a good idea what a Polish girl would like for a date. I'd ask polishgirltx first.

Ah come on. go for it, old lady or young, seize the day and all that!.
If you don't talk to her, you'll just be a stalker (just kidding).
You can do it! She sounds like a sweet Polish girl.

I know what you mean, I am a bit thick when it comes to seeing that someone fancies me, always the last to know.
Good luck and I expect a full report, on my desk tomorrow morning! ha ha ha, you'll be fine, how is your Polish coming along?.

Where are you thinking of brining her? I might be jumping the gun here, are you going to ask her out or just introduce yourself today?

Have you asked her out yet? any updates?

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]


Hello noimmigration, I do not agree with a lot of what you say but I do find some of the things you say thought provoking and I can see some of your points clearly. I always considered London a different country from the rest of England and apart from "city" there are not many English people. I personally enjoy this very much. Do you feel that you are being attacked by an invading army?.

When I was growing up I think a majority of immigrants in England were ex colonies, that there was a post colonial guilt, that led to letting post empire countries in (was this the case?). I think (just an opinion) the post colonial guilt has some thing to do with the lack of sternness when dealing with Mugabe in Zimbabwe because of Rhodesia.

And this new influx of E.U. members is a different case, I have worked on and off in England and it always appeared to me that Britain always needed foreign workers, in your factories and yes even cleaning your toilets and your economy is one of the best in Europe and in the world because of it.

I went off my point a bit there.

Hello

Asian guy in love with Polish girl (any chance?)
Long answer NO, short answer YES. Which would you prefer? the long answer or the short one?
If you ask her, the worst she can do is say NO, so you have really nothing to loose.

Real Estate / Is there a Real Estate bubble in Krakow? [60]

Hello,
I find that the developers will have to pull out the finger and finish the builds, it is a **** take at the moment, buying a place and having to finish it yourself. I have recently seen two story houses being sold without stairs... greedy bastards. I think the prices will stay the same for the next while but you will get more for your money. A finished product is cheaper if the developer does it, (buy in bulk and negotiate a better price with the fitters on mass).

I also see a massive change in what is on the market, from small apartments in blocks to houses, seems to be the new trend and why wouldn't it be, 50 square metre flat 15 mins from Krakow or a 120 metre flat 15 mins in the other direction from Krakow costing the same, it is a nobrainer. Still these roads need to be renovated, which they are in the process of doing, so it might take a little while longer before people see the benefits.

I do not believe that foreigners pushed up the prices so much here either, other countries that had a false economy (foreigners pushing up the prices) are now really feeling the brunt of the burst bubble.

Something else to consider is all the money poured into Poland form Poles working abroad.

Hello ss13,

What kind of things did they get a grant for?
I know people who have got grants for studies all over Europe, but nobody for business.
It is of course interesting for people setting up their own company that might get some extra help.

Best regards

UK, Ireland / I have concerns over the British immigration policy so I wrote to my MP. [126]


I disagree with your opinion, we are now the European Union, all people should have the right to move freely around and work. The days of the "british empire" are gone. Britain for brits, is what it sounds like you are saying, of course you will let a chosen few, who suit your needs to enter the country, god knows there are toilets to be cleaned. Thank goodness your government have the sence to join.

This same bull opinion has been coming from some brits for ever, it used to be about Irish people going to England now it's the Poles, it is time to stop sounding like a broken record and get with it, you must think about things in a boarder European sence, if not all our country's will fall behind.
