Law / Honda Civic 2008 imported from Non EU to Poland [3]

Dear Harry, what they did to the someone you know who has civic? i am actually worried also that they will tell me that i just need to change light and ten charge me a looooooooooot just by seeing that i am importing my car from Middle East.

I beleive that the car does not need major changes, it is already left hand drivenand not right hand like in japan. The blinking light are orange.

I wait for more feedback from the forum.

Law / Polish taxes for external incoming [9]

Dear Jdvalim,

i guess we are in the same situation. I just moved to Poland with my Polish wife, and i have the residency permit for a set period of time (one year), the usual first stage for a foreigner.

I have my own design company registered back home in my country, and i also do works for clients from my home here bot for abroad over the internet, and i have no single clients or income from Poland. All my income comes from abroad.

I was wondering the same, but i did not start yet asking for the taxes, as i do think that as my income is from outside, then no need to pay here.

I will be checking the matter very soon, as we just moved couple of weeks ago, and i need to confirm that as i want to avoid having trooubles with the tax.

If you will know anything, please please poat it online; i will do the same once i will know.

Regards.

Law / Shipping a non-EU car to PL by a non PL citizen (but PL Resident) [13]

Dear Delphin, how i can find such agent while i am still out of Poland planing the relocation? the local shipment company here in the Gulf provides only services door to port, and they dont assist in handling local polish matters. Is there a way to get in touch and hire local polish agent from now before shipping?

Law / Shipping a non-EU car to PL by a non PL citizen (but PL Resident) [13]

Oufff..wait wait a minute, here you are adding "additional" criteria: what is about "being registered as woriking" ? does this also affect wether u pay the taxes or no?

And by the way, do you have -like me- the residency for set period of time? or the permanent residency? and when you brought the car from out of EU, what was your status (regardless whether you were working in poland or out).

In my case, as for today, i am contracted out of Poland, but now i am relocating. after i do that, i will be travelling out and in for my work outsie, but i will reside in Poland. does this has to do with paying or not the tax for the car?

I am aware that i need to pay registration anyway, but this somethig else; by the way, how much it is in general?

Tx.

Law / Shipping a non-EU car to PL by a non PL citizen (but PL Resident) [13]

Ok guys, thanns for all the threads, very helpful. I have some questions more:

1-Harry: you talked about converting the Honda civic, and said that it wouldn t make any econimic sence anymore to bring the honsa as it seems i ll be paying for converting.But, what is the level needed for this conversion??? i heard that lights should be orange and not red for example, and this already exist in the civic. I am not aware of other conversion requirements, but in anycase, will it be sooo expensive to do so??

2-we can register the car in poland under my wife name, if this makes it easier; but the point is that we have been owning this car for the last 2 years, under my name as her husband, so it is our common belonging. If i need to change the ownership to her name before shipping it to poland, still it will not work as they will tell me there in the shipyard in poland that the car is owned by her for lexx than 6 months (it will be actually a mmonth or something).... There is something not logical in all this. If i knew this, i would have registered under our common name or even her name since i bought it in march 2009!

3-Warszawski:: you said "As the car is being imported from outside the EU, it does not make any financially sense"...why? becoz i have to pay tax? but i am bringing my belongings for good to poland, where i will be living the rest of my life...can it be considered just as piece of furniture as db 1874 said?

4- does any body know any reference written to consult? i called the custon agent in gdynia today, and they transfered me to the cenrtal custom of all poland. we called them, and they told us to check certain document online made of 35 pages!!! my wife is checking this now. We called the embassy in the gulf, and they said to check online forumm!!!!!!!

...i feel it is going to be a trap for me, once i send the car and go to pick it up from gdynia, they will just come and say: oupsaaaaaaaaa!!! you have to pay 22%, plus...plus plus plusss............

How can i get clear answer??

SOS!

Work / Teaching Architecture in Poland [23]

But what about the field of architecture in the academia? does what have been said by all of you apply to architectural teaching? or it is a general rule? and what about if i am a non-polish speaker? actually i don t speak polish yet, i married recently and i am planing to move for good to poland and learn the languagem and settle there, so knowing about the financial security that i can get through teaching is very important for me.Any idea?

Work / Teaching Architecture in Poland [23]

Dear Lukasz,thanks for your feed. I have a PhD with 2 years experience, so i wonder where i stand for Polish standard. The salaries you mentionned as example are in public institutions or private ones?

Work / Teaching Architecture in Poland [23]

Sure i do prefer somewhere in warsaw or krakow, but i did not hear that there are differences when it comes to teaching, as all give peanuts as salary...does it make difference which uni it is ??? are there better paying universities vs bad paying universities???

Merged: Teaching architecture in Polish University. Can i survive with my family?

Dear all, is it possible to survive in Poland (decent life) as a university teacher? i hear that teaching there is more of a hobby and must be complemented with something else. If so, then being an academic in Poland doesn t bring financial security for the academic's family? is there a way to pursue an academic career in Poland? (NB: teaching architecture and design)

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Thanks a lot guys; i was absent for the last 4 days, and just loged in again and find 2 feeds. So i udnerstand more from these 2 new feeds that once the tax and money issue is cleared, no problems for the rest.

My main concern at the start of this discussion was to be sure that if my stay away will be more than 3 momths (during my current "residency for one year"), then my residency will not be lost. What ShortHairThug has mentionend in reply 2 that my residency will remain active made me relaxed. Is this information 100% true? i will try to check from my side and ask my wife, but i am afraid of creating suspission and push them to ask why i am out. I might be back in a month, but i might also extend. SO if there is a full year active residency card, then it is ok. As for the other issues raised, all are enlightening for me.

Just want to hear more feeds from u guys/girls ab the one full year activation guarantee...

Thanks.

She is travelling with me.but what implication it can have?

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Thanks for all of your feeds, inetresting debate.

I guess that the perspective is that i will do this mission abroad for a year, and -as mentionned earlier- the first year residency will not be canceled. Then, when i will renew 45 days before the deadline of 1 year, i will have to stick to the 10/24 / 6/24 rule during the next 2 years; by then-means in 3 years, i will have a file saying that i have been married for 3 years, and within these 2 i have spent 2 years in Poland with the limits of 10/24 and 624. The only thing to check is whether they will include in the calculation the 1st year, means if they will consider 3 years for calculation. I will check that matter with them.

Meanwhile, if someone in this forum has something more to add, or similar experience, pleae welcome and type it down.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Thanks SHT. But -just to double check: the 10 months cumulus and the 6 months one shot are within a one year/12 months? or 2 years/24 months? i feel it is the 2nd case (means 10/24 and 6/24).

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Hi al111; i got married actually sep 2010 in Warszaw, and i am registered there. So how it might be in this Woiwodship? i read that within a 3 years marriage,2 years must be spent (10 months max out, 6 months maximum one shot). I hope that this apply to Warsaw too, as i feel it will be difficult to make ot for the all 3 years (As i l b bit away for the first year).

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Hi. I am consultant for specific period of time, but still i have to be absent temporarly. Luck i am that i have family member from EEA-as Delphian wrote, though still this might affect the permanent residency later.

I read somewhere that when applying for the permanent residency, i need to prove: 3 years marriage, and 2 years stayed in Poland (2 years means not continuous stay, but allowed to b out for cumulus of 10months, and 6 months one shot,no more, within 2 years).

More feeds please if u have guys/girls.Thanks.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Thanks Scottie1113. But will my current (and potential future) absence affect my application later for permanent residency? won t they consider later the nb of months that i stayed out and/or in?

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

Thanks SHT.

But will it affect later my application for permanent residency? or after one year i will simply renew my one year to another one year?
