If it's general advice you're after in relation to a teaching job, I've created a website which could help you out: teaching english in poland.

If not that, then the links page may help you out.

Thanks for taking the time to look through the website. If you've got any further feedback I'm open to suggestions as to how to improve it or make it more relevant.

There's quite a bit of wrong information on the site - for instance, the information about border runs, which haven't been applicable since entry to Schengen. This is actually quite dangerous to mention, as Poland hasn't been shy about denying entry to those attempting to do visa runs. Schengen countries in general are very strict these days.

There's also quite a bit of misleading infomation in relation to having your own company - particulaly in how you can start a company to get a work permit. This only really applies to Americans - it's not an option open to other non-EU nationals.

Sorry, it's a nice website and all that - but there's many, many mistakes on there. For instance, an EU citizen in Poland should really sort their NIP out before anything else, as many employers will refuse to pay them until they obtain the number. You can obtain this without needing anything else - Poland, pragmatically, wants your tax money.

I'd also advise you to steer clear of talking about tax issues - especially in advising people that they don't have to pay tax in Poland for 2 years. This isn't clear cut and as simple as that. You should really also mention the mandatory yearly tax return that many foreigners aren't aware of.

Also, the bit about contract law. I really, really, really wouldn't go giving such advice. We all know that the clauses are never really enforced, but to describe them as being "totally unenforcable" (see next post).

To describe them as "totally unenforcable" is dangerous language in Poland. The legal system in Poland could quite easily rule them as enforceable - there's no certainty in the Polish courts, and they're far more likely to rule against a foreigner who signed such a contract - I very much doubt that ESL teachers can afford to throw down the 250-300zl an hour that a decent contract lawyer will want, and let's not forget that the Polish court system is notorious for dubious judgements.

Personally, I'd go about removing any personal opinion like that - it reads like Dave's ESL Poland forum, which isn't a good thing.

granted, I got a bit carried away with that and shall re-word accordingly.

All information regarding the paperwork is borrowed from another site (with permission) and was believed to be up-to-date. I shall also see if this is correct.

As regards border runs, no-one wants to admit it, nor should they be allowed, but they are still viable and still do work on the Ukraine border. I know this because I know 4 Americans who have done it since the beginning of the year.

The website was written on the basis of experience and my fellow colleagues experiences as well. I shall check out the information as I've said above and thanks for the feedback :)

They're absolutely idiotic to do so. The law is very clear on the issue - you have 90 days out of every 180 in Schengen. They may have been readmitted if they were still legal (on Day 89 for instance) - but it doesn't add an extra 90 days to the clock. There are countless people thrown out of Schengen every year for this - and bearing in mind that the standard punishment is a year long ban from Schengen, plus the permanent record on SISone4all regarding you having been an overstayer - it really is absolutely idiotic and mindless thing to do so. Perhaps the thing that confuses them is the stamp in the passport - of course, in the past, this meant another 90 days. But now, it's just a record of your entry into Schengen - it doesn't apply any time limits by itself.

I'm not surprised Americans have been doing it - they have (in general) an absolutely terrible grasp of Schengen law. The vast majority of them aren't aware (for instance) that border controls can take place absolutely anywhere in the country, and that very often, the police will consult SISone4all routinely.

The crucial thing here is that irrespective of what happens at the border, it is strictly 90 days in every 180. It doesn't matter who picks this up - if you overstay and you're found out, then you can expect trouble. It doesn't matter who finds out - it could be a French PAF guard who discovers the overstay 2 years in the future - either way, a year ban and a fine is normal.
