Law / Need help on my driving license (lost my national license in Poland and would like to replace it for Polish) [14]

I drove for over five years without a driving licence in Germany, Holland and Poland. Believe it or not it's not such a big problem and quite funny when the police get all pissy with you and tell you, you are in big trouble, as long as you have valid insurance and test certificate and not been banned, it's only a fixed on the spot fine. The last time I was fined for it in Germany, it cost me 20 d marks. Just give him your docs, wait till he asks you for a licence and tell him you gave him it. Then go through the motions of looking for it and when you can't find it tell them you've lost/forgotton it. Simple.

"Be warned - if you get stopped while only having the IDP, you'll be prosecuted for driving without a licence." not true he/she has a driving licence just can't produce it= Fixed penalty "Kodeks Karny". even if she/he has no driving licence still not an offence so long as the said person has not been excluded from holding one.No insurance is an offence.

Life / Moving to Poland - how to go about it? [6]

Thanks for the pointers. I was under the impression that the Land purchase restriction was to be lifted in 2012 but that's not relevant to me anyway. I wish to be able to pay Krus my wife pays Krus even though she is not resident in Poland. I intend to return to PL. alone.

Life / Moving to Poland - how to go about it? [6]

I want to move to Poland but have'nt got a clue as how to go about it. I have lived for several years in poland at the beginning of the 90's but worked in germany/holland so not officially a resident. My wife is polish but sadly does not, will not return there to live, which I find absolutely outrageous as had went to all the bother to learn polish and going there in the early years to establish myself and settle but managed to get into a relationship with somebody who only had it in their head to get out of the country and of course me being the free ticket out and the wallet holder. I own jointly with my wife a smallholding of 2 hectacres and house/outbuildings I want to return as self employed and develop a small but lucrative horticultural/agricultural business. I will be self employed but actually won't have an income from it untill at least late summer and then as in this field dependant on weather conditions and such. How do I stand with Immigration over the income? (I am actually a British Citizen resident in Holland, with two children both Brit/Polish passport holders)

The Area I want to move to is near Glubczyce, which is wojewodstwa Opolskie. I am also skilled in building work (had own company in NL, prior to recession) Car mechanics/bodywork repairs and speak reasonably good dutch,polish and german.

Any advice is more than welcome and if the post seems a little confused that's because I am but sure through conversation we can figure out a solution.
