Life / What does an american citizen need to do to live in Poland with his Polish citizen wife? [35]

My friend go to Poland,get your birth certificate translated and marriage certificate translated(By a certified translator),then register both at your respective municipal office and obtain a polish version then go to immigration office and apply for a residence permit..that you can stay there over 90 days...you will have to fill form and polish style pics attached with it, & a bank statement and a proof of place to live.AND WAIT:)Once you get 1 or 2 yr permit hunt for a living:)ie.if you have money buy commercial places to rent(u will need permission to buy commercial places from interior ministry but is easy and takes around cpl of months if u on top of it...and or if you dont have money look for english teaching job as most brits and american backpackers do:).If you need more asst email me POLCIAQQ@aol.com.


Sorry forgot to add...u dont need attorney to fill out forms just common sense and a smiley face with the officials and they will guide you through...there are law firms who will charge yopu arm and length for filling forms...and do that in Poland not in states the Polish embassy will just jerk u around!

Are you really stupid or just act like one.......one has to have polish birth certificate and marriage certificate to even apply for residency.


Sorry it is mandatory if u apply on the basis of marriage not for work then again he wants to stay and i think wants to be a citizen

[Maybe cuz u are a EU resident and read up!quote=Harry]Really, I have no idea why you try to come here and tell us this rubbish. We live here and some of us have lived here for a long time. You have visited Poland a couple of times for a couple of months: you have never had residency of any type whatsoever (as is shown by the fact that you have been unable to stay here for longer than three months).[/quote]

To begin with you dont have a clue what papers I have...like you went to AMCHAM without being a member and I prooved you my name is in the member list,FYI I am also a Polish citizen since dec 2010,secondly Polish BC and Marriage certificate is required for an non EU citizen.

That law takes in effect after you have resided in poland for 2 years atleast and after you have obtained your permanent residence.
quote=Bluesview]As I understand things today I will first Karta Pobytu (Residency Permit) which will last me until I can apply for a 'Permit to Settle'/'Permanent Residence' - don't know the proper Polish term for this. And this will last me until I apply for Polish citizenship[/quote]

[I was also married to my wife for 17 years when I first applied had to get 2 yrs residence permit for two times and then i got my permanent in 2010 and immediately applied for my citizenship and got it in 7 month. Its then the real work begun of getting polish ID and then applying for passport took me almost 8 months...then again your all p[assport stamps will be checked that you did stay in Poland for 2 years with not leaving the EU zone over 180 days I think and maximum of 9 months I think...be carefull they check every stamp on your passport...the only main reason for refusal to americans.

quote=Jimmu]You will need lots of new passport style photos, passports, IDs, copies of everything including stamps in the passports (4 to be safe).Copy everything many times, never let the originals stray to far and get everything in English translated by a certified translator. (Tłumacz Przysięgły)Get everything done in the US that you can (apostiles, etc) but probably best to get translatins done in Poland.[/quote]

[That is kind of rough and expensive in Nj atleast...first you have to get it notarised (any bank will do it free if u have an acct there) then get it verified at the county offie for the notary and then to the state capital forapostle..if you do it by yourself and not mail costs like 150$ a document express or by mail 50$ but takes almost 3 weeks.quote=Jimmu]You need to register the translated marriage certificate apostile at the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego in the area where you will live.As soon as you get settled go to the Urząd Województwo and apply for residence (Karta Pobytu). You will need proof of income and I think proof of health coverage but my wife says no about the health coverage.[/quote]

Exactly this idiot harry was making a point that one dont need to get the polish version of marriage and birth certificate!

Buddyyou are on disability and looking to work?ouch! 6600pln and xtra income 10k a month approx(i think)ummm best I think u can do is teach english or start business then again you will have to report the income in US and there goes disability:(Just be carefull whatever you do as a Pal of mine had trouble with citibank reporting his offshore income with IRS as supposedly banks will issue you W8 every year of the interest income you earn in Poland thus informing the IRS..

quote=Jimmu]Copy everything many times, never let the originals stray to far [/quote]
They take your orignal birth and marriage certificate and issue you one from poland:) so no worries back home we can get another copy for 5 bucks so dont make a fuss about it when they keep that!same goes with driving license they keep it and issue u a polish one again no worries 5 bucks and u can get new one back:)an dont let this idiot english teacher brit guide you as I have been through the process myself....and for future refernce you have to enter Poland by showing your polish passport and american&Polish one exiting.

Its not a honorary police badge it was a PBA card that some privileged people get from Local or state PD legally is called courtsey card and is just to avoid traffic tiks or really low petty voilations but are not recognised in the book of law depending on the officer incharge at time and his respect to the community:)


I was involved in a situation like that temporarily and I did surrender my firearms,having them is a serious felony!


legally when im in US IM US citizen and when I am in Poland I am Polish citizen(I enter and leave as one and show authorities documents for).Dont you Brits get to understand International law?Then again English teaching for years will do that:)

USA, Canada / Golota facing deportation back to Poland [30]

Personally, I would:) as owning firearms over 4 in number tends one to forget how many you do and usually people surrender some and forget about some(in his case he forgot it all(Imagine in Poland getting caught with an unlicensed firearm forget semi automatic)Now with Homeland security laws one can be deported even for a DWI conviction even if it wasnt lethal.

Poland overlooks US citizenship:)One dont have to giveup US citizenship!

Agreed!One has to enter or exir Poland as a Polish citizen and produce Polish Id when asked by Polish authorities but to give up US citizenship is wrong.....the benefit of Polish citizenship is buying and selling commercial and agricultural property without going through hassels of permissions and loans esp EU grants:)))

Genealogy / My Grandfather was born in Poland and migrated abroad - Can I get a Polish Passport? [68]


Harry make it clear if you are jealous or something do something about it as I have said before...or learn to live with it.I am not responsible for your underachievement in your life being a career english teacher in Poland:))or buying a junk car from States idiotically:)And Nope I consider you a nincampoop asking me to post my documents in here similarly when I made you run from AMCHAM meeting to bradelys to hard rock to mariott looking for me sitting across the atlantic:)

Then again poking nose in someones business will get ur nose punched just be carefull batty boi!

Genealogy / My Grandfather was born in Poland and migrated abroad - Can I get a Polish Passport? [68]


Harry are you that thick brained?When one comes to Poland he has to enter legally showing Polish passport and thus not stamped,and show US passport & Polish passport when leaving and then again depending o the border guard he may or maynot stamp your US passport(one has to show US passport as to show that you will be allowed to enter US)is it so hard to unerstand this? Then again one can expect that from a career elderly man with a english teaching career:)))[

quote=grubas]You have to show US passport or you won't be allowed on a plane as there is no visa in your Polish passport nor being US citizen you have PRC card.Simple[/quote]

Correct while leaving Poland.

Law / Polish Property Bought with Francs - Help [8]

LOL! wanna go partners:)))?


What advice...the swiss franc went up and you have to pay back in swiss francs...lots of poles did that and are paying...or facing banks taking away property as people who borrowed in francs esp Poles are making money in Zlotays and paying more to buy SF and pay the bank in the currency they bought in.
