I heard that it has been announced, but does this mean it has been signed into law (statute)?
I heard that (particularly in Poland) there can be a long gap between the two |

| It hasn't been signed into law yet, but what happens in practice in Poland is that the relevant department is unlikely to give any hassle while the law is still pending. |

There can be a delay in getting schools and the minor officials you have to go through to accept the new policy, i first came here a few months after Poland joined the EU as a member state citizen and there was wide confusion as to what "free trade of goods and services meant", people in the university where i was working didn't understand that EU citizens didn't need work permits, now American citizens don't need permits to work as teachers? you should expect this to take some time to sink in............... |

| As an American who just worked in Poland last year I can confirm that you must get your work visa through the Polish consulate in your region (god help you if you live in the midwest and must go through Chicago!) |
So if I live and reside in Peru, do I have to go back to the USA (Chicago) to get a work visa? |

All that you need is a place to live and a school at which to work. Your landlord should be able to help you get a karta pobytu which you then give the school. The school should then begin getting you all of your documents. You can get a PESEL (for social security) and a NIP (for taxes) and every other thing that you will need for living in Poland without going back to the States even once. You don't even need to spend a lot of time at government offices anymore, maybe once for the Karta Pobytu.
It used to be complicated, visas and all that, but now it is quite easy if your school has someone who knows what they are doing. If they don't have a clue you probably shouldn't work for them anyway. |

| All of the above information is only valid if you are working in the teaching sector though. If you're husband is in the IT sector, for example (and there are questions on here from non-teaching professionals) then there's the arduous work permit road to travel down. |

Hmm. That's why I'm hoping to find some place that will get him and I a visa. Know the chances are slim, but there's got to be some hope. |

It is really so difficult to get a work permit? To my knowledge, your potential employer must place a notice at the unemployment office, and if you want to hedge your bets, put an ad in the paper. The key is to phrase it such that no one can really fulfill the criteria for the position. For example, if your husband speaks Spanish, the company could say that Spanish language skills are a big plus because the company sometimes has to correspond with Spanish firms.
As I understood the process, the notice must be up for a month, and then a foreigner can be hired. |
