Law / How do I get onto the Polish electoral roll to vote in the European Parliament elections? [15]

It says Rzeczpospolita Polska :) But I guess you mean this line: "Zaświadczenie o zarejestrowaniu pobytu obywatela Unii Europejskiej".

Law / How do I get onto the Polish electoral roll to vote in the European Parliament elections? [15]

well I have only the registration paper and that one has an "Adres zameldowania" line in it with my address. Does this count as maldunek?

Hi everyone,

I'm an EU citizen currently living in Poland and would like to get on the Polish electoral roll. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

Travel / Parking in Poznań without a valid ticket? [7]

First rule of Poland : assume nothing about what is and what isn't seen as criminal.

Yeah, I know, but I always forget about this. :-\

The best bet is really just to pay up for the guarded parking in the centre - if you tell me where you'd like to park roughly, I'll tell you where you can park.

I'd like to park in Jezyce, in ulica Polna. Btw, is Jezyce still a dodgy area or it's a bit outdated opinion?

It's unlikely that they'll chase you to Austria at the moment (there's no data sharing between Poland and Austria)

Is there a webpage where I can check this? I've heard something about an €80 limit but it might be only for speeding tickets.

Travel / Parking in Poznań without a valid ticket? [7]

Although with that said you do need to remember that some Polish prosecutors are more than happy to have European Arrest Warrants issued for very minor crimes

I pretty much doubt that a parking fine is consider a criminal offence in Poland therefore issuing an EAW is very unlikely. Also, I do not plan to park in prohibited space or way.

Your best bet is just to find a car park in the centre and pay for a weekly/monthly ticket. There are a lot of car parks in/around the centre, and they aren't expensive. The most expensive one I know is about 90-95 euro for a month.

That sounds great! I might consider this option. Do you know if it's possible to get free parking in Poznań for locals? If so, do I need to have zameldowanie for Poznań? Coz I'm registered in the other part of Polska.

I forgot to add to the initial post that I'm not a bloody foreigner who would like to take advantage of his alien status :) I don't mind paying for any service what I use, but in my opinion paying for public parking is a legalised pillage by the state / local authorities since I do not get anything in return for my money.

Travel / Parking in Poznań without a valid ticket? [7]

Hi everyone,

I have a car with Austrian driving plate and I am going to spend a couple of weeks in Poznań. Do you know what happens if I park on the streets without a valid ticket? Will I simply get a fine or I can expect a wheel clamp (blockade on wheels)? If only a fine, is there any way to track foreign cars and send the bill to Austria?

Thanks
