| Also, I've not noticed your nationality. You should check with the license office in your city to see what the exact requirements are, because if you're residing in Poland with a Polish legal address you may be required to get a Polish license. This isn't too difficult or costly, but you would have to write the exam in Polish :) "But this is the European Union!" doesn't get you out of trouble, either. Call it the "polish mentality".

According to EU law Polish authorities must exchange any EU nation licence for a Polish licence without a test when asked to do so. Polish authorities seem to think that there are two classes of EU licence (depending on whether the EU member in question signed a treaty on international licences back in the 1960's). For now it is easier to just make sure you head out of Poland once every six months and are thus allowed to drive on your EU licence.
So no more visa runs but now instead we have driving licence runs! |

If I do not hold an EU licence, but have an international driver's licence, how does this apply? Can I register the car on the international licence or am I better off getting a German license? I am not ready to take a written test in Polish 
I was able to get some insurance without a PESEL, which I now have. |
