Anybody adept in requirements for non-EU citizens to start business in Poland?

I am in Pakistan currently working in a multinational bank. I need to start cafe business in Poland. Please let me know the requirement and how much investments will required. Once I established my business so how much chance that I will get the Visa or Residence Permit. If I will not get a visa or residence permit so what about my investments that will return or not

Actually to start the visa process you will need to have a complete business plan + prove that you have money enough to do your business, start it and survive with it for a time. Also you will need to emmploy at least 2 Poles.

Besides that, your residence permit will not be permanent (if your business close, you lose it) for quite a time.

If you start a business withou have all approvals and visas, you have a huge chance of lose all your money.

I Know because i am starting to go through all this process. I Would like to warn you that NEVER invest all your capital in a business, since there are much more chances that you will fail than succeed. Specially when investing in a country with total different rules than yours.

hello ,i was student in Poland and i had applied for the work permit visa but now i needed to register a company ,so now with my student status karta pobytu i applied to register a self employed company but now i came to know that ,as i have already applied for a karta pobytu on work permit status can not register a self employed company,so in this situation what must i do ? the office told that they will check the details about my card and when they find that i have applied for work they might thin that i am frauding on them but actually i did not know the fact so what will happen in this situation and how must i cope with it any suggestions ??

Business Start ups for none Poles / EU people in Poland

Is it Possible to get a Start up if you are not a Pole or EU citizen in Poland but you have a TRC?
If so what circumstances could it be done?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Hire an attorney. The VAT process is complicated and you need one to do it right. Also banking can be an issue. I am American and went through all of this, no way I would do it alone.

PLubbe, I assume you're from Germany, but perhaps from The Netherlands?
Only curious as I've noticed over the past several months, many from either Scandinavia, namely Sweden or Denmark, Germany or The Netherlands, have this interest in setting up a concern in Poland.

Hi,

Does anyone offer a facility to form a company in Poland maybe with the help of a local resident as I believe the process is quicker?

I have a Polish company which I do not use anymore and wish to sell.
