Life / Free Poland Health Care - Paying minimal to no Zus [105]

Hi there,

It is all pretty simple, it turns out.

What you need is to get i touch with whatever organization in the UK hold your National Insurance Record and ask them to be issued an S1 form, which is a doc acknowledging 2 things, that you do pay your NI and that you change you fixed abode to a Polish one.

If you could ask some Poles to explore it a bit further for you, that is the relevant number: +48 22 582 84 30 (alternatively the last two numbers 33 or 34).

Finding the right number took me an hour or so, but once I called them, they were knowledgeable and helpful. Way better than surfing the net.

BTW, in Polish the doc is called DOKUMENT PRZENOŚNY S1

Study / English elementary schools and education in Tricity, Poland [7]

Merged: English primary school education in Gdansk (fees are rather high)

Hello,

I'm a Pole living currently in the UK (surprise surprise).

We are considering moving to Gdansk. However, our daughter speaks English and Russian only, as I've lived both in Russia and UK for the last 14 years. She's just started learning Polish in a Saturday school, so, given the fact the the relocation is not imminent - we're looking at completing it within 2 years, she might be able to start a state elementary school in Poland.

Still, English is at the moment the dominant of the two languages she speaks, and naturally we'd like her to have as much exposure to it and continuity as possible.

I've found there's an international school in Gdansk (most likely there are more than one), but its fees are rather high.

Does anybody know of any other options for a child to learn in English, on a weekend basis etc or merely to spend time with other English speaking kids?

Thnx
