| It's my understanding that if you're looking and find a job while in Poland, you must return to your country of citizenship to get working papers. Is it possible to not have to fly back to your country for working papers? Can't you just work it out from an embassy in Poland? |

If you are American you have to go back. The only alternative is working illegally. If you are Irish or British you obviously don't need papers.
I don't know about Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis... but I think they have to go back home first too. |

what is this all about?
i'm canadian.
was hoping to secure a job in poland for september.
but it seems like i might just head over mid-august with my boyfriend and find somewhere to live and find jobs in person.
can't we just get work visas or something? |

It's the same for everyone. YOu're supposed to apply before you come.
Working illegally is the only option. |

| think you'll find you need a job first to get a work visa. if you get to spend any amount of time working in poland you'll soon learn that's just the beginning of the funtastic twisty legal tangles on offer. |

i just found out that i am getting my polish citizenship, so i will wait until all that goes through before i come to poland to work.
does anyone know how long you have to be married for your partner to be able to acquire citizenship? |

Several years in some cases, it's also very complicated and bureacratic...

| Considering the massive taxes, the attacks on personal freedom (the anti-gay stance), the exodus of people leaving and the beaurocratic nightmare of general living (three months for my residency card, 7 months for my NIP [tax] number and a shocking 11 months for my PESEL [identity] number) - I find it very hard to believe that this ISNT Communism. |

You waited 11 months for your PESEL? And 7 months for your NIP? Wow! That's bad... Where are you again?
I only waited 3 or 4 weeks for my NIP. That's supposed to be standard.
Pesel I got when I got my passport and citizenship... which took me about a year to get. Took my mother 2 years, but she had to get hers first before my brother and I could get ours...
I forgot to mention... F**ck the ANTI-Gay/Feminist/etc. stance... There will be protests again this Summer, and I'm planning on being there!! The Kaczorstwo will never win!!! MWAAHAHAHAHA! |

| Im in Warsaw, which has multi-district tax offices. They couldnt decide which office should be processing my application, and it just got bounced between two offices in the same building over and over again. It would have gone quicker if they'd used one of the secretaries to just walk up and down the stairs to transfer the application, rather than posting it Poczta Polska 2nd Class each time. |

The protests this summer will either be VERY nasty or a damp squib. Nothing between. I'll be there too. After the Le Madame fiasco it would be wrong not to. If people don't turn out en-masse it will, in effect, be a positive message to Donald Duck and the dreadful Marcinkiewicz that they can do exactly what they like. |

| I think you should apply before you go. Otherwise, as mentioned above, you will need to work illegally or have someone sponsor you while there. |
