Real Estate / Where to look on the internet for Poland Real Estate [112]

I always have my notary do that.I really don't care what the seller bought the property for only how much he is selling for.There is no set price of property anywhere.Be carefull Poles rent out the property at higher prices and value it with 6 to8% return.I just bought one on Belverdeska in Warsaw for 10k pln a sq m which is cheap by warsaw commercials.Residentials are a bit different.If you need a good reliable and reasonably priced notariusz in Warsaw let me know.Her husband is an American and a very good pal of mine.

Also be careful with the VAT and if you are a VAT payer you will get it all back depending how you pay them(I pay them monthly so I always get my refunds in a months time from Ujzad Skarbowe)

News / Man Charged in Escape Room Deaths in Warsaw, Poland [8]

They do have all the laws etc in place but corruption is still there,if that explains it.I see so many bistros,clubs,restaurants etc with code and health violation (even though im no health or code inspector qualified) that I would shut them down.In Poland money and influence still talks.

I tell you there is that famous club named Hybrydy(wrong spellings) and has serious exit problems from the basement incase of emergency.A disaster waiting to happen.

Depends what you like.We usually go to a club called "Worek Kosci" when they have any good concert.Its a small place is in the centre and near to all transportation.Only thing I don't like there is that they have no draft beer and food but they for us make some cold meat /cheese platter.There is another one I cant remember the name around the corner in the basement which also sometimes have good music.People from all age groups are there right from 20s to 70s.

Kratom & CBD stores are poping up like wildfire in some states just like the vape stores.I saw another store opened up like that and are crowded like hell.My tenant told me he has been making over 50k a month and I can imagine that by looking at the crowds in those stores.Kratom leaf is imported from Indonesia and is illegal there but in USA its legal in most states.Her is something about it

Yes you can renew your passport without your fathers consent but you cannot travel internationally without his consent until you are 18.I assume that law don't apply when you are in the EU.

Law / Newborn entering Poland using British passport [16]

I agree with you Rubasz that Polish citizenship is very hard to get rid of.We had done the mistake for our kids to get them Polish citizenship,should have let them decide if they wanted it or not.Sometimes later in childrens life that can create problems.

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [58]

A permit???you are kidding,here in NJ we just slit the throat or shoot the deer(if you have a firearm) and load it in your truck if its still in driving condition and also no need to call the cops for accident report for insurance purposes.Someone I know just went to the police station and filed the report of being hit by a deer and all was good before going to the butcher shop just incase.

BTW I use whistle deer from Walmart for 6$ on all my vehicles.

Travel / Returning to Poland after 20 years in America [18]


You and couple of other Polish origin Americans,who would criticize Poland every way they can including pollution or the cheap clothes they wear in Poland or its the new money for Poles.Let me tell you big boy,its all jealousy.I have seen those who couldn't achieve in there respective countries tend to criticize Poland any way they can.I have seen that nation get up on its knees since 2000 and make others jealous.

Since he didn't mention position that's why I asked.There are lots of people in Poland who are making over 80k pln a month.I know couple of people working in KPMG and Deloitte who make way over that a month.

Work / Is 6500 PLN salary gross enough to live on for a small family in Wroclaw? [20]

80k yearly or monthly?

USA, Canada / Car Export from USA / Canada to Poland [30]

In that case you will have to pay duty almost 43%(I am not sure).But incase you want to keep it there you can pay 4/500pln for modifications but still uzad celny will require you to come through and agent who will also charge cpl of hundred.But still you wont be able to sell it for 2 to 4 years provided the car is owned by you in a foreign country for the last 2 years.

USA, Canada / Car Export from USA / Canada to Poland [30]

If you are taking your car back ( since you mentioned you will be in Poland only for a year)then better of driving with Canadian plates because if you change plates to Polish ones you will never be able to take your Polish car back to Canada.To do this there are agents everywhere on Gdynia port for 2 to 400pln they will do the paperwork and you will get your car out from the port in 1 day.You can ask uzad celny every 6 months to extend the stay of the car without paying any taxes and driving with Canadian plates for almost 4/5 years till you keep on asking for extensions every 6 months.And if when they give you a final extension notice then drive it out of the EU to Ukraine and come right back again and the new procedure starts.Only bad thing is that you cannot insure the car fully just with liability insurance.

And if you want to change to Polish plates you will have to pay the agent again and they will exempt all the excise duty provided you have owned the vehicle for over 2 years(they now check on car fax).After 3/500 pln modifications you are good to insure and drive but remember you can not sell the car for 4 years anywhere in the EU and also can never import it back as it is now an Polish car until after 25 years when it is considered an antique.

Law / Lawyer familiar with EU law needed (to sue my employer in Poland) [65]

@OP,if its an American based company and has head office in the USA,you can get a lawyer on contingency basis and the sue the company here.Also you will find out what value does your case have.Usually the fee is 60% for them and 40 for you incase you don't have to pay court costs etc.If any lawyer takes the case provided he smells money then usually such cases are handled by corporation insurance lawyers.If the amount is not big and even has 25% chance to win it is usually settled in mediation,paid by insurance.

Law / Non E U. looking to retire in Poland, seeking permanent resident permit. [21]

Not if you have a senior home with indoor,pool,sauna,hot tub and maybe racquetball court or tennis court.But again Doug a guy like you who has to slog to pay his bills from 6.30 AM in the age of over 60 cannot even imagine that some smart people retire at 44 with high 6 figure incomes.

If you speak Polish,Poland is best place to retire.I at one time was also thinking to buy a small senior home for us and couple of friends.
