Travel / How can I get a license to be a tour guide in Poland, in a specific language? [6]

Some tour guides courses are done and certified by PTTK which has branches in many locations countrywide. You don't need a license to be a tour guide now, that is if you can and want to open your own business and do the tours, no license is required.

I'd suggest you call perhaps some tour guides and get some first hand information.

Travel / Is it possible to buy a KM (Koleje Mazowieckie) ticket on the train in warsaw? [3]

From KM website

On the train

Purchasing a ticket on the train

For the convenience of the Mazowieckie Railways passengers, there exists the possibility of purchasing a ticket directly on the train. Any traveller without a valid ticket for his journey or having a ticket that is not legalised/not activated should enter the train through the first door of the train (at the head of the units), and notify the train manager for the purchase, legalisation or activation of the ticket.

Real Estate / Looking to buy property in Poland - understanding the different types of ownership! [10]


It's technical but having full ownership means you would also own the land (part of it) on which your apartment stands. Housing association would itself own the land. When selling you'd be selling your rights to apartment vs apartment itself. Full owner could also change usage o an apartment into commercial usage without asking any association for permit. Full ownership also gets better ranking with banks. As for the fees they are similar if not lower for association housing. I don't think you'd need layer as long as you'd buy from real estate agency not individual - they'd take care of you with legal matters if you take one with experience selling to foreigners.
