Work / Help on Relocation and Accommodation Info in Krakow - African guy [5]

Hi Guys/Gals,

Greetings to you all.

I am an African guy and recently accepted offer from a company in Krakow, Poland and I am due to resume work by late July.

My concerned:

As an African, which area will be safe to live around Krakow and precisely close to Armii Krajowej street 18, where my office is located?
I am looking at one room apartment or studio with all in all of 2000pln. How many years or month will the landlord demand in advance if that amount is feasible?

Similarly, what is the best option to go about looking for the above apartment or studio? Option A; Looking for an agents while here in Africa? Or Option B; rent a temporary place from here then when I arrive Poland I can now start searching for the right accommodation.

What are the best places online to execute (search for information) for any of the above best option?

Also, any African community around Krakow?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

Law / Poland Travel Medical Insurance Query! Is it needed when my employer provides medical and life insurance? [2]

Hi All,

Do I need travel medical insurance to apply for work visa taking into consideration that my employer is to provide medical and life insurance during my time of employment?

If yes to the above, how do I convince those in the embassy, since it is stated as one of the requirements to apply for visa in their website?

In other words, what are the specific requirements to apply for a work visa in Kraków-Poland?

Thanks in advance for your anticipated response.

Roy.

NB: I already have my work permit.
