Law / Purchasing a Vehicle in Poland and Shipping it to the U.S. [8]

I have taken 2 maluch fiats to Newark port, if the car is 25 year or older you can take it as historic vehicle, limit 2 and can't sell it for 2 years a in no. Also you have to pay 14 ear registration then every 3 years u renew it free of charge.nd can't drive over 1500 miles a year and get bagger to insurance for vintage cars for around 20th oils a year.its my first hand experience.make sure u rebuild repair it in poland as it's cheaper to do it here.

Law / Poland's green card for American, and citizenship question [16]

You can open a llc company called spooka zoo here and conduct business here make sure u pay taxes and apply for temporary residence for 1 or 2 years and keep doing that for 5 years( I'm not sure if law changed to 3 yrs) and apply for permanent residence then citizenship.

Regarding marriage you will have to get a letter from states that u were never married before so better take girl to states on k1( fiancée visa) get married then come back will be swifter and done in 3 yrs if all is not a fake marriage

Real Estate / Extra costs when buying a flat in Poland [13]

I always sign whatever they want, then in final stage negotiate like gotufka and they agree usually to max 1 percent maybe I'm lucky on 11 properties I bought here all the time from different agents

To close the shop the owner must be doing some serious crime as for overcharging and false advertising is punishable by fines esp if its first offense.Either the boarding up post is exaggerated or the owner is at serious fault.

Work / Does anybody know about franchise in Poland? [12]

No,its not crowded there is still huge potential to be explored in Poland locations.Are you saying that multi million worth companies are opening franchises without doing there home work?Some stores in Warsaw I personally know rake in over 250k $ a year net profit.

Aviv where and what franchisecost differs so you have to be specific what exactly are you looking for.

Law / Consumer credit rating from US to PL/EU [12]

Credit history in Poland is becoming important.Also if one doesnt declare his/her tax returns Poles care less then.its always good to declare ones income in Poland as it sure does help obtaining credit.Now in Poland the banks do have credit history database,but mainly for people who have obtained credit that includes for personal loans and for appliances etc .
