Law / Tax Declaration in Poland (PIT-11) [10]

Hi Mephias, You say that you are in full time employment. If that is the case, then your employer should be deducting your tax obligation and ZUS payments. Can you contact your payroll section to ask them to confirm what is being deducted?

Life / If I move to a big city in Poland will I come across a lot of English speakers? [32]


I find that there are a lot of polish people with a very good level of english to have a good conversation especially in Warsaw or Poznan.(and probably Krakow). Also, i find them very eager to speak it in order to get some practice in speaking to a native speaker.

Life / Price of a DJ in Poland [6]

To be honest, i am looking at maybe going back to DJ'ing here ...(maybe)...and i was just trying to suss out some information on it. Music would be 70's, 80', 90's, 00's, current etc. While i like to be, i would not be a 'dance' dj.

Life / Price of a DJ in Poland [6]

Hi. Just thinking about it...not sure if i want to yet but just thought i would make some enquires. I have come acroos a company which is an agency for DJ's so was just going to see what are the possibilities.

Work / Poland is headhunting seriously in IT, Finance and HR. [41]

Gleite..so are you looking for CV's from potential candidates..??

Travel / House clubs in Warsaw? [18]

There would be a number of clubs which play House Music...and with special DJs playing on certain nights...You have the choice of the 'upmarket' places and the underground clubs.

Language / I need some encouragement from Polish language speakers! [30]

I so feel your pain...!!! As anyone who has started to learn polish will do.
As the others have said, spend a bit of time on words and phrase and then gradually introduce grammar to it. You will see where it all fits in over time. It is not going to happen overnight. I have had a few 'why am i bothering' moments, but then i go back to it with a fresh head, and it starts to make sense.

One thing is, that you wont learn it doing just and hour or two a week. I am determined to learn some level of polish this year so i am trying to give it an hour, at least, a day. I dont have a 'language' brain so it does take a while for stuff to sink in.

Keep at it.....

Ok. Thanks. So as an early 40 year old, i might stick out a bit...!!! But do like the idea of the opening hours.

Work / Will it be easy to find a job within 6-10 months of moving to Poland? [41]

Would there be any Serbian companies which have dealings in Poland? It might be an idea to check the polish embassy in Serbia or the Serbian Embassy in Poland (if there is one). Most embassies will have an enterprise wing which help businesses set up in the country where the embassy is in. So you might be able to identify some SErbian companies operating in Poland.

Life / If I say POLAND, you say...? [100]

The country that never have change in their shops......

Law / Laundromats in Poland? Good business venture or not? [90]

i think you would find people who would be willing to use a laundromat. I have a washing machine, but it is crap and i would not mind going to a laundromat and getting all my stuff done in one or two washes. In relation to vandalism etc. You could try something like they have in San Francisco i.e. there is an attendant there who will do you washing for you if you want, for a little bit extra. Also, you could maybe tie it in with a Dry Cleaners as well, so you have someone there doing the dry cleaning stuff and then an open space for people to do their laundry.

Law / How to register a new business in Poland [129]

Hi. Just wondering if you will need this company on an ongoing basis. Setting it up is one thing, but then you have the returns to do, ZUS to pay etc. If you are going to be involved in developing your business then it would probably make sense. Alternatively, if this is a one off, would you know anyone you could trust that could run the invoice throught their company? Just a throught.

Study / Good cheap course to learn Polish in Warsaw [44]

Hi. Not sure how cheap you are looking for but you might check out iko.com.pl. They have intensive courses which can get you started off. While the price per course may seem a bit high, the hourly rate works out quite cheap.

Good luck.

Real Estate / Has the Poland real estate bubble popped? [12]

here is another website for real estate in Wroclaw: centrum.wroc.pl

In relation to you query, has it popped, prices have definitely come down since the large increases of about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, due to the state of affairs in the world and in poland, it is anyones guess, if the prices have bottomed out.
