Law / Polish licence question: theory and driving test? Cost and lenght of the process? [13]

Hi,

I had an Irish provisional which expired. I had a choice between waiting forever to get a full licence in Ireland, or get out quick before the economy got even worse.

I'm now living in Germany. I've no choice right now, I'm basically stuck here for the time being and of course, I can't drive here.

Getting a German licence just seems like a hell of a lot of pain. Firstly because it costs a lot of money, and secondly because I have to deal with Germans, who make everything waaaay too complicated and take forever to do nothing. And I really don't have the time or patience, let alone the money, to deal with all their over-elaborate regulations, laws and bull ****.

I've already had lessons and know well how to drive I just haven't got a piece of paper that says so. Personally I'd rather that piece of paper not be called a "führerschein". It sounds like something the nazis used to clean wash their dishes.

If somebody could please tell me what's involved in getting a driving licence in Poland I would really appreciate it. I understand there's a theory test and then a driving test, is this correct?

Most importantly how much would the whole thing cost and how long, on average, should the whole process take?

I understand I'll still have to do the theory and practice, that's standard procedure pretty much anywhere.

It's just I heard someone here saying you can just nip over across the border and apply for a licence far easier and that it's common enough for people here to do so.

I didn't know you had to be resident in Poland. So either the rules have changed recently or the guy has better connections than I do.
