Law / Car Insurance for an US-import car in Poland [7]

I'm not sure what to do to renew this permission

Approach uzad celny at the gdynia port,most likely they will give you permission to take the car out of the EU,go to Ukraine and drive back in with new case file and keep on getting the permissions.

Law / Car Insurance for an US-import car in Poland [7]

I have had many interactions with the police

I would say that those cops didnt know about the registration,but the cops by the eastern border know it esp crossing the eastern border.Do you have permission by the customs dept to have the car legally in Poland?or the orignal importer will get a letter with heavy fine even after 5/6 yrars when they catch up.BTW customs dept uses Car Fax site to determine the value of the car,you can check yourselfabout it and it will show that the car was exported to the port it was shipped to from the USA.

Work / Can I find a job in Poland that requires speaking in English? [82]

looking for cut-rate, minimally competent part-timers they needn't pay or employ much.

Yes like Mcdonalds in Poland,85% of the franchisees are Ukranians and they now mostly hire even non Polish speaking Indians and pay them the minimum lol even during my work days I hired immigrants,they dont get sick(excuse to take a day off),work hard and dont steal MUCH lol

Law / Car Insurance for an US-import car in Poland [7]

even if expired

Just dont cross the border or get caught by cops for speeding or an accident etc as even Polish cops now know that the car is with expired registration and can impound it.

from the US in 2016 but never registered or driven in Poland

Just make sure the car is legal and has papers from the customs(Uzad Celny) that they have authorized it to be in the EU,as I have to renew my authorization from customs every year for a year to drive with USA plates.Its very easy just send a certified letter with return receipt and you will get an answer in 1 week or there is a heavy fine almost 75% value of the car.

Officially YES,only if they check on him,otherwise he is free,like I was.

Work / Is 400000PLN per year a very high salary in Poland? If so, what kind of job can make this money? [33]

but how many of them are there?

Eg:Only in Warsaw walk around and see those commercial condos,all one need is 2 of 140/150 sq m of them and one is a millionaire in USD.Most of them rent for 20 to 30k PLN netto.I never agreed with that data you posted as also in USA they once said if you make over 500K a year you in the first 5% bracket.I know small businesses,bars etc make over 500k CASH.A good c store or liquor store or a gas station with store makes over 250 or 300k cash.

waiving the 10 day period.

When I went to Poland no one TOLD me or checked on me even after filling the forms they give you in plane to fill.I do know 3/4 people who travelled from the EU were called and the cops checked them.Download the app KWARANTANNA and check if your number is in it and if they are monitoring you.

trying to get on the plane in the US. I can always show them the email

Now that might be your biggest issue,just print and have the email also on phone ready to show,its the airline who has to be convinced to fly you not the US authorities also make sure you have open/changeable air ticket to fly back as its airlines responsibility to fly you back in case you are denied entry.Airlines employees are not very sharp sometimes.

I would just fly from Chicago to Poland on your US passport and go through the quarantine.

No Dirk,they will not allow him to even board the flight without proper documents.US citizens are not allowed in the EU,until they have proper documentation.I have been to Poland 3 times during this mess and they check my Polish passport 2/3 times before boarding and by the plane entrance.lol just to see I tried to give them my US passport and the guy panicked in Frankfurt lol and then suddenly I pulled out my Polish passport and was let in the EU that too in the transit area.

Their site says that documents that confirm identity and nationality are valid for crossing the border.

If you have an old Polish passport then you should be good,but the problem is if they let you board the flight from the USA.

We have gone through different lawyers who tell us different things

You need to hire a respectable law firm,of course they will charge more but you will get your work done.I am not going to recommend you anyone but you can go to the US Consulate site and get the list of lawyers they suggest.

Once I land in Germany, what would the procedure be?

You will have to quarantine for 10 days,exceptions are for people who dont leave the transit zone on airport.To begin with they will not even let you board for the EU until you have proper documentation for your final destination.I have been to Poland 3 times since covid so the info is first hand.Your best bet is contact the straz granieca and get permission before you fly or will spend more to change the ticket.

The property can be taken care of by lawyers. Problem solved.

More like problem created,the freaking lawyers in Poland will rob him blind.
lol and whatever she needs but he needs the property.
