Law / Polish Visa for an American that has been working under a work visa in Hungary [5]

Merged: Difficult to get work visa? For American who is Spanish resident

Hello,
I'll be moving to Poland next year with my girlfriend while she does her Erasmus program in Poznan. I've been working in Spain the last two years as an English teacher, with a residency card that entitles me to travel freely throughout the Schengen zone. The plan is to continue teaching English in Poznan, either in an academy (if I can get a work visa) or as a private tutor (if I can't!). Can anyone advise me if it is a realistic plan to obtain a work visa in Poland -- perhaps being easier since I am already a resident of a European country -- or if I should abandon the hope and just plan on teaching private classes? Thanks, Tom

Sorry -- I'm from the United States, but I have a Spanish residency card.
