Poland's Work Permit for Non EU married to Pole

My husband has decided that before we move to New Zealand, he would like to come back to Poland for a year, and as my Polish is terrible, probably the only option I have is teaching English. I've got a minor TESOL certificate but nothing else. After reading the forums, its possibly a blessing that we'll be in Gdansk rather than Krakow, but the main question is, do I get a work permit through my employer (obviously if I actually managed to get a job), or through my husband?

If you're in Poland as his wife, you don't need a work permit - the residence permit given to family members of EU/EEA/CH citizens will enable you to work in Poland freely.

Women are in short supply in teaching, so you should be fine - I'd especially consider targeting teaching kids :)

Thats a relief - after 6yrs of mountain climbing in the UK, its nice to have a smaller hill to walk up.

I'd love to teach children if they'll let me - I miss my nieces and nephews from home immensely, and would like to hope I've got plenty of patience as the 3rd of ten kids.

Is teaching children paid less or the same as adults? I've got a UK CRB check, but is there likely to be anything else I need?

Oh, I can tell you that it will be *much* easier in terms of paperwork here! If you weren't married to an EU citizen, it would be much harder - but in your case, it should be pretty straightforward. Effectively, you can work as if you're a Polish worker :)

It can be paid even more - there's a lack of natives who can teach kids. Most of them can (in theory) - but it's a job far more suited for a woman. And there is a real lack of native English speaking women outside of Warsaw that want to teach - it's just a matter of finding someone to employ you.

The thing I'll say is that you shouldn't come to Poland until August or so. Schools will have made their plans for the rest of the year by now, but if you come in August, you'll be ideally placed to slot into a school for the coming year.

Visa type 2 after marriage + Work permit in Poland



Hi Folks,

I am getting married with my polish GF in my hometown soon. The polish consulate in the city will issue me a visa type 2 for a year after we register te marriage so I can travel to Poland. I was wondering if I need work permit to work legally in Poland with this visa? has anyone had the same situation in the past?. The consulate is reaching the authorities in Poland but it seems that getting hold of the foreign office in Warsaw is a challenge.!

Best
