My experience in Poland 15 years ago as an American trying to live and work there. [167]
Almost every word you have written is well-meaning but untrue.
I was just about to say the same. It's a nice story, but much of it is simply not true.
Many Americans and Brits retire in Poland, after buying property there.
Barely any do.
The office of citizens' services at a local consulate or embassy allows their office/po box to be used as your overseas address, which is a good idea to do, due to longstanding security issues with the Polish mail service.
I have my doubts as to whether this is true. It seems rather unlikely, given that most embassies charge for everything.
And you must do so and have all this verified both in the US and in Poland, long before you get your visa and can go live there in the first place.
This is pretty much totally incorrect.
You will need to pay for lawyers in Poland (at the very least, several notaries).
This is again - pretty much totally incorrect.
I would consult a tax attorney and financial advisor, long before you plan to move to Poland..
Again - riddled with factual inaccuracies. Whoever told the poster that they couldn't use the health care system or schooling was clearly winding them up.
Seems to me as if the whole thing was written by someone who lived in a bubble.
