Law / Getting a Polish drivers license / Poland's residence permit (how long it might take to get?) [28]

The cheapest country to get your license in Europe is Ireland.

Thanks for the tip JollyRomek but now I'll will start work in Poland so it will be easiest to get it there as I will be starting work on the first of April and the company will help be get the residence permit. Just hoping I get it done before the winter months as I don't like the cold too much.

Law / Getting a Polish drivers license / Poland's residence permit (how long it might take to get?) [28]

Thanks guys, that' sucks a bit that I'll have to wait more than six months to even start and then do 60hours of classes after that. I'll still do it in Poland though, much cheaper than in my country. And actually it's Lodz I'm moving to.

I understand that it depends depending on driving school, but this 60hours of training, could it be on weekends and evenings?

Tried to edit my last post but I couldn't, user delphiandomine states that Yep. 30 hours must be completed, although if it's in English, many driving schools are willing to do it intensively for more money in less time. For instance, 6 hours is about the "norm" for 1-1 classes in Poznan. in this thread:

Law / Getting a Polish drivers license / Poland's residence permit (how long it might take to get?) [28]

Good evening,

I'm an EU citizen and I will soon go to work in Poland, I'll start on the first of April.

I want to do a drivers license in Poland, since it's much cheaper there and I don't have one in my home country.

I've been searching the internet but couldn't find more than a few helpful threads on this forum. However there is no clear facts anyway and I would like to know how the process really goes.

As I understand it, I will need to have a five year residence permit, do 30 hours of theory and another 30 hours of practical driving and after this I can do the exams, theory and driving.

In the threads I've read it says that one needs the have the residence permit for at least six months before it's possible to do the license. What I wonder is if I could start with the classes before six months and then just do the tests when I've been there for six months?

Also in some other thread it says that it's might be possible to do less than 60 hours of classes, if one does them in English and pays a bit more. Is this correct?

How much is one hour driving class? I've done about 15 hours already in my home country.

And also I would like to know how long it might take to get a residence permit? My employer will help me get it, but how long time would it take?

Please correct me if anything I've been writing is wrong. I'm happy to have found this forum, lot's of useful information since I'm soon to be living in Poland.

Just saw this site:
juma.krakow.pl/lessons_for_foreigners.html

Apparently I need a PKK card to start the training, and I can only get a PKK card after I've had a residence card for 185 days. Could anyone confirm this? :)
