Law / Buying work visa for Poland [16]
"You do not get a 'working visa' and then look out for work in Poland"
Exactly! You can apply for work permit when you already have an employer who wants to hire you. Buying it is illegal.
Regarding staying in Poland for 2 extra years and getting citizenship - it is not so easy even for spouses of Polish citizens. In a nutshell: after getting visa you may apply for temporary residence permit, later there is permanent residence permit and when you are in Poland based on this document for at least 3 years (there are exeptions) you may apply for Polish citizenship. You also need to speak Polish and pass exam of Polish language (at least level B1).
