Law / Annual Leave allocation - labour law in Poland [8]

Hello, I am working for a company in Poland. I am quitting my job on 31.08.2016 and for now I have 26 annual leaves for 2016.
As I am leaving don't I get all those days to take with me or should they not pay me the 26 days for this year or the remaining days out of those 26 days for 2016?

Please advise.

Life / Places to buy a decent suit in Warsaw [16]

Could be! Along with quality and carefully designed suit. Instead of inflated, poor tailor-made low quality fabric suit in Poland. :)

Life / Places to buy a decent suit in Warsaw [16]

Merged: Wedding suit in Poland - Where can I get what I am looking for as a groom

Dears,
I am getting married in 4 months. I am in big dilemma as I need a wedding suit just as you can see the the image I have uploaded. I have tried a lot of places in Krakow and the prices are ridiculously sky high! I don't want the normal typical suit as a personal choice.

Do you know any tailor or any shop in Krakow or just in the nearby counties (Slaskie, Mazowieckie)?
The maximum I'd like to pay for this suit would be 2000PLN. Thank you.

Food / What are my chances if I open Grill of Serbian cuisine in Poland? [14]

What are my chances in Poland? People would like it?

You made me hungry man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looking delicious!

I believe that your chances would be good if you do not try to make it 'too Polish' and stick strictly to the Serbian-way of doing it!

Only if I could afford to open a food snack... I'd be there too! :/

Law / Divorced from Polish wife. Can I get a Poland's passport? [3]

Thank for the first answer.

You cannot go through life marrying girls from France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain - all the countries in the world - and then expect that each country will give you a passport.

I did not say that I am going to marry everyone from there. Like I said, I don't want to be involved in marriage at the moment.

Thanking you in advance for sticking to the topic. :)

Work / HCL Krakow job offer, is 3700 PLN net enough to live on? [9]

one room apartment of 35- 45 m2 ? electricity, water usage, garbage, internet etc.

if you want to live in the heart of the city that would cost you atleast 1600PLN all inclusive.

But if you want to live like 10mins bus/ tram journey to the Mainsquare, that could cost you around 1400pln all inclusive. and you will have your own studio..

Visit gumtree.pl you can find studios there and you will get an idea.

Travelling is cheap here. 89zl for a monthly bus/tram pass all lines included. however, HCL is in zabierzow, so maybe an extra train ticket would be required.

Law / Divorced from Polish wife. Can I get a Poland's passport? [3]

Hi.
I have recently divorced from my ex wife. I would like to know if ever I could try and get a polish passport. I have lived around 2 years with her (one year in the UK and one year in Poland).

At the moment I am travelling a lot (business trip) and sometimes it is really a pain in the a*se for my employer to do some paper work in order to get me a visa to some countries in order to fulfil my duties where a European passport holder could easily go on my behalf.

I don't want to be kind of the black sheep and let the chance to work in different countries from time to time slip my hands.

I am currently with my fiancée for two years and don't want to get married because I know myself how painful it could be at some point and she agrees with me.

So I would like to know if I could get a polish passport or a permanent resident upon the fact that I was married for a bit more than two years with a Polish girl.

Thank you for your guidance (no silly comments please).

Karl

UK, Ireland / The Poles in Britain - a history by BBC Magazine [25]

never talk to their english colleagues.

seen that a lot in London... it is a shame! they want to hide within their own circle..

Just to add..you can never expect any kind of help from these ladies (and those similar)!

Seen a lot of Polish friends leaving Poland and going to the UK and getting sh!t jobs and being treated as slave by who... by their boss who are mostly Polish..

Study / Where in Poland can I obtain Certified Copies of foreign Educational certificates? [3]

Hi,

I need to send a certified copy of my educational certificate to a University in US. My studies were conducted in Mauritius but the certificates were issued by University of Cambridge. As I am in Poland now, I would like to know from where I can get to certify the copies of my original certificates which will prove that the copies are true and legal.

Thanks

Law / Payment of ZUS/ Income Tax - 'sole trading' business in Poland [27]

Do you know if I open a 'sole trading' business here in Poland, do I need to pay 'Zus' twice. What I mean by twice is that I am currently working full time for a company in Poland.

So I was wondering if ever I will need to pay Zus twice and I heard that might be health insurance I will have to pay twice as well? Is that true?

Love / Polish Man being with English Woman - he insists on paying for EVERYTHING [36]

Some day you can land up with this..
https://polishforums.com/love/support-partners-sister-boyfriend-69549/

he insists on paying for EVERYTHING, is very thoughtful and keen and has laid his cards on the table

there was one thread on this forum (I couldnt find it now)... The girl had similar situation like yours, she is a Brit and the guy was a Pole! the guy was nice in the early stage of the relationship and basically like doing everything, after few months, the guy took all her money and admitted that he has a kid and a wife back in Poland.

he paid me compliments that

Polish people dont really compliment others... be careful if he is doing so!

No offence to anyone. Koz everyone is different! But be careful of scammers! Specially in your situation- It happened lots of time and it would be difficult for you to find him if he ran away with everything you possess....He could be in Poland, Germany, Russia or anywhere! Ask for advise on Forums in Britain! here you will find people saying only good things about their compatriots! :)

Food / Is it possible to buy (particularly online) exotic meats in Poland? [4]

whether there are any shops

Yes. In Lidl you can find. But bear in mind - Its once in a while. Last week there was an offer for Lamb from New Zealand- I've been lucky myself to taste the meat from NZ again. Last year there was Kangaroo meat, Lamb meat, Octopus and Beef from NZ being sold in Lidl.

Law / Value ( € or PLN) of handmade painting on clothes [10]

You'll find in PL that people are very careful with their money when they buy clothes.

Yh, I know, hopefully there will be a bunch who will be interested in my products given that there is a lot of work behind it!

News / New Polish gambling law - outlawing gambling except in casinos [34]

I am with Bet365. They did a long check- calling me from the office in UK and asking me few security questions. I did not have to register a credit card nor make a deposit via paypal. And believe me, the odds for football are better than any sites.

Back to the question.

Do I need to pay tax on my wins? I am in Poland and the betting company is registered in UK...

As far as I know that on winnings like gambling, lottery, lotto, ect... you don't pay tax. but this is Poland.... So I don't know if they have the same set of rules.

Law / Value ( € or PLN) of handmade painting on clothes [10]

How long does it take.. 3-4 hours, depending on the drawing itself.
Material could cost around 50zl - 80zl depending on the drawing again.
It will be sold online - so distribution costs incurred by buyer.
Selling it only online (at the moment)
Target market would be people who uses garments. well, to be more specific- age range would be 10-40 years who would consume those goods.

Law / Value ( € or PLN) of handmade painting on clothes [10]

This was about 10 years ago

Love / Polish girls don't go for one night stands, is it true? [56]

My friend told me that polish girls don't go for one night stands, they usually want something permanent is it true??

Yes they do! I've had myself been lucky few times. and If not me, then one of my mates would surely land up with someone. dont stay too long with a chick dont willing to chat up. Krakow is the place of night clubs... and lots of chicks! you come from Swiss... spend some of your dough on expensive drinks! they would bend over easily.

Australia / Australian citizen wanting to go to Poland for as long as possible - needs Polish Visa [49]

As I said, the "foreign boy moves to Poland to be with Polish girlfriend" story rarely has a happy ending.

True! I've been through and saw my foreign friends having the same issue!

Our relationship is actually genuine and real and it is worth doing everything we can to be together permanently.

at 20... mmmm I was the same mate! Been there done that. Moving to another country because of a girl- it is not really a good idea- you can ask any of us (how has experience and how it ended).. i think you need ideas from your friends and families rather than us here. Because if the girl dumps you, then I don't know what will happen to you!

the fact that you moving to a new country which is not really similar to yours and on top the language will be your biggest enemy! Its gonna be hard mate! One thing- if you really want come over to Poland- dont do it because of a girl! Girls you will find plenty here. But think about YOUR future first!

Love / I am in a serious relationship with a girl i met on-line from Poland - advice needed [19]

by the end of the year i would move to Poland for her.

I just want a fresh start.

Mate! an advice! don't move to Poland or to any country only because of a girl! Specially a girl you never met!

Trust me! She is 20 and things can change a lot.

First, t
ake couple of weeks vacation and spend it in Poland.

Thats right! come over in the summer and spend few weeks here. get to know your girl and life here and then you make a decision! As I understood, you will put nearly everything on stake to come and live here.

Concerning girls, this is not a problem in Poland, but getting a job specially if you speak only English, would be hard!
