Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]

Medicover is a pvt polish insurance company collaberating with Damian who have there own medical centres and hospitals.They do have issues with pre existing medical conditions for 6 mths or so.Dental I dont know my wife says she gets some discounts.

@OP if you want to move for a cheap high life,it is possible and good still.I have a 40 sq m 1 bedroom flat in hardcore centre of Warsaw with a porter and 2 elevators that costs me less then 100$ a month to live ,which includes cell,wifi cable,electric co-op monthly fee.If you know how to twist around you can lead another 10 years in Poland quite comfortably.In US it costs me 2500$ a month for 80 times that size in a house in the state of NJ.Food,cars and insurance are not included.If you have investments its freaking easy or if you need loans take fixed loans in US at 3,5% and get yields of 7 to 8 % in Poland.LOL also you can hire English economic migrants at cheap moola to do your daily chores like baby sitting,cleaning etc.

Yes,Medicare is one of them.There best plan is almost 5000pln a year and also covers when you are travelling overseas(USA)


If you get it fine or you could do visa runs after 90 days of stay in Poland by entering Ukraine and coming back in cpl of hours.That visa run thingy is only for US citizens.And while there you can sort out issues.

How many pets do you have?Must have a huge house with the family and pets in the city.We have a cat that our daughter forced us to keep for her and is a freaking liability to travel etc.Reminds me of our house keeper Babcia who lives in Poland now has ducks,rabbits,dogs,cows,pigs,piegons,chickens,a horse and plenty more in her village house in Poland.The yard looks like a zoo and the work she has to do feeding and cleaning and taking care of a garden with veggies and fruit trees.I tell ya Polish babcias are tough,at age 70 something she also rides a bike to a church in the village everyday.LOL Pawian you sound to me like her in cpl of decades when you be her age.

Poland has started doing the same as well now.I shifted towards Poland and its also getting expensive now,I think another 10 years and they will really destroy investment that took a boom in 15 years.My friends tell me western Ukraine is the new game now but I am too old for a new country.

Law / Bus ticket fine in Poland (Warsaw) - what if I don't pay the fine? [36]


Sometimes in some machines the receipt comes out from the front slot and the original ticket falls in a slot below the machine,so my guess is that you picked the receipt and didnt pick the ticket,so the inspector was right.I had the same mistake once but luckily no inspector caught me.
