I just noticed that my home address is shown in the "sender" field of the transaction details. This is not great privacy wise ...

I am travelling to poland warsaw today and do not have enough of my bipolar medication, is there anywhere i can but it ? I need enoough for 4 days

I know there are no warm fuzzy feelings towards Germans and Russians. Is the sentiment toward Austrians any different? I find that a lot of the food is similar and there is also shared history.

So I'll be coming back to Poland in a few months; my family is selling our old apartment and we'll have to take care of all the things we have left behind there. There are some beautiful antique books that belonged to my great-grandfather that I'd love to bring home to Canada, but I know there are some laws against exporting antiques. I heard that some antique shops may be able to provide a certificate or something along those lines that would allow you to export antiques? Does anyone have any experience or advice for this? Near Kraków for reference. Thank you in advance :)

currently planning a trip to poland in two months. planning to spend 1 and a half days in krakow and 1 and a half days in zakopane. what are some must see/must do things? I know I want to go to the banksy museum and go hiking, but that’s about it. I don’t plan on buying groceries so some restaurant recommendations would be awesome, but also just fun activities and things to check out.

I also have no idea where to book my Airbnb or hotel as I’ve seen a lot all over all parts of each town, but hopefully the recommendations of things to do will help me figure out where to stay

I had some food recently, can you tell me what it was? It was like a big chocolate ball, solid chocolate outside, with coconut flakes, and it tasted of alcohol inside, soft truffle chocolate.

I bought it in a Polish shop nearby. Your sausages blow my fucking mind. But I have no idea what this thing was. Any help appreciated.

TLDR: Does anyone know if I can apply for citizenship by descent while in Poland? I'd be in Lodz. If so, what's the process?

Background: I'm trying to apply for Polish citizenship by descent. My mom immigrated to the US in the 90s, getting her US citizenship in the early 2000s. The rest of my family is still in Poland, and I'm visiting them this spring. I'm hoping to avoid some of the fees by having my family help me apply while I'm there. I'd also like to get my husband and baby citizenship, but I'm guessing that would be a long shot.

What are some places worth visiting in Poland to spend some time in nature?

Hello everyone!

I will be visiting Warsaw for the first time later this month and I would like to know:

What are the best places you know that serve insane meals, such as a massive American-sized stack of pancakes, a massive pizza etc. like those food challenges you see on YouTube?

Thank you in advance :)

Hi, someone I know personally desperately needs help, as he has exams this year and has no idea which college would be the best . Can anyone share opinions about colleges and their dorms in Warszawa (UKSW, UW), Kraków (Jagielloński), Białystok, Poznań and Wrocław? Especially Białystok, Warszawa and Kraków as he has had school olympics that can help him get there but we both heard A LOT of awful things about Jagielloński and UW colleges and idk if it is true or just ppl making up stuff. Thank ya'll in advance

Cześć wszystkim,

Czy ktoś mógłby polecić kursy dla osób zaczynających przygodę z testowaniem oprogramowania w branży IT? Wiem, że istnieją kursy, po których można od razu znaleźć zatrudnienie, ale nie udało mi się jeszcze trafić na takie. Znalazłem kilka ciekawych opcji, ale chciałbym lepiej zbadać temat, żeby nie przepłacić.
Z góry dzięki.

Hi!! Me and my boyfriend are planning a trip to Poland and wanted to visit Krakow and Warsaw but we only have 4,5 days of actual time for visiting.

My initial idea was fly into Krakow, spend 2 days and a half (one full morning for Auschwitz) and then go to Warsaw for almost 2 days and fly home from there. But as I'm starting to plan, it might be too tight of a schedule.

I've seen people do both cities in a very short time, just seeing the main atractions. If I had to choose I think it would be Krakow, but do you think 5 days is a lot for how small it is? Is my initial plan doable? In any case, any good recomendations are appreciated :) Thank you!

I have a presentation about Poland and I am interested in how you live and what is your life like? Are the prices of products favorable and is there crime in Poland or How is it for you to live in Poland? write me your opinion

Hey everyone,

I have a very specific query to ask, I have been invited by my fiance to live with her in Poland , and the invitation visa is valid for 300 days. As having insurance is one of the primary criteria to book an appointment at polish embassy, I am looking for options which can provide me insurance till the last day of my allowed stay. Most of the options I have checked online are single or multiple trip to Schengen zone and has upper limit ranging from 30 days to 120 days. So I wanted to ask if there is any policy which can cover my stay for 300 days. I am currently living in England on BRP. I wanted to be there to support as my fiance is carrying baby.

Please help with suggestions.

Lately I've seen an Ig-post of one celebrity, welcoming their newborn, specifying the baby was born via surrogate. Initially, I was only happy for them, until I looked into the comments and a lot of them were...well, nasty.

That got me thinking and I looked through some forums. Apparently surrogacy is not as widely accepted as I thought? Growing up, I always found it completely normal, of course I knew it was (and still is) illegal in Poland, but I always treated it as just another way of becoming a parent, an alternative to IVF, insemination, adoption etc...

However, apparently many people find surrogacy unethical. Their arguments either refer to the surrogate's rights (turned into an "incubator"), the baby's rights (drawing human trafficking comparisons), or both (the bond between the "mother" [in surrogacy is not always clear who should be considered the mother] and the baby shouldn't be broken). A further point implies that the capitalist system leads to exploitation of women who decide to be surrogates. On a side note, I've noticed it's mostly women who are firmly against surrogacy. That could just be my anecdotal observation though.

I am aware that this isn't going to be debated for a long time in Poland as as far as the matter of women's bodily autonomy is concerned, we are still wrestling with abortion. Surrogacy is much more complicated, involves more people, often requires compromises, can have more dramatic outcomes, needs more regulations and indeed does leave room for exploitation. However it's a known procedure, so people probably have opinions, especially today when the attitude towards pregnancy as a whole is more negative than before.

I'm open to a debate.

Hey everyone! This is just out of curiosity and wanting to know the reason behind it.

Why does it take almost a year and in many cases way more than a year to issue residence cards for students who are strictly here for university studies, have sufficient funds, active enrollment in a university, without criminal history whatsoever, no sketchy activity or anything. I heard someone say that by law they have to issue it after 60 days which has never happened as far as I know.

My friends and people I know in other european coutries usually don't have to wait more than 6 months which I think is very reasonable. What's the reason behind this?

Hey! I'm thinking about visiting Wroclaw this week to catch Marian Henel's exhibition and wondered if there is any other outsider art or unusual things to do in Wroclaw while i'm there?

I'm into art, live music, record stores, thrifting, weird/ eerie things!

Which bank do you recommend, in terms of benefits, low costs, maybe financial advantages ? Are there things to watch out for ? And how do you pick an accountant ? Any recommendation (needs to be english speaking !) ? Any help is warmly appreciated !

Hi all! I’m seeking advice from you guys. I am currently working full-time with a big 4 company. The thing is, the work I’m doing is not directly related to my field of study. I got an interview offer for an internship in my field but the thing is, I’d like to pursue both at the same time. Time management won’t be an issue (at least that’s what I believe based on past experience) but I’m concerned but the legality of this.

I’m currently working on an umowa o pracę contract. My question is, are internships usually done on civil contracts or regular employment contracts?

And in the case that this internship is on an employment contract, is it legal to work both jobs? Is there an obligation to inform my initial employer? Please any advice is much appreciated (literally anything, I’m willing to hear different perspectives, even about the whole thing)

PS. I have student status and I’m under 26yrs, so don’t pay taxes

Hi Polish redditors,

I'm going to be studying in Poland as part of the Erasmus programme for the next four months in Konin, and I need some advice as a clueless foreigner. I don’t know any Polish whatsoever (apart from basic phrases like hello, thanks, I don’t know Polish, can you speak English? haha)!

My biggest concern is transportation. I’ve seen some buses around my city and even found some websites about them, but I have no idea how to pay for them. The Jakdojade app doesn’t let me buy tickets in my city, and I don’t understand the ticket system.

Some students who went to Poland said that Facebook is the prevailing app there, so I’ll look for local groups. I’d also love to know if there are any student clubs in the city where I can connect with people. Also, is there any place to play D&D and/or board games? :-)

Local food recommendations are always appreciated, too! Even if it is outside Konin. I plan to travel across Poland. :-)

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding logging into CEIDG using Profil Zaufany.

I registered a business in Poland some time ago, but the activities are currently closed. I also have a Profil Zaufany and a Polish phone number. However, I am currently abroad and unfortunately lost my Polish SIM card (Orange Poland).

When trying to log into CEIDG via Profil Zaufany, I am asked to verify my login with an SMS code, which I cannot receive because I no longer have access to my Polish phone number.

Is there any way to verify my identity using my email address instead of the phone number? Or is there another solution to access my account remotely without needing an SMS code?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Context: Local high school visited Warsaw and now there's controversy about it in the Estonian sub. Thing is, there are still similar 'tours' in Estonia too - schools from England, Ireland etc visit Estonia to practice Russian.

My great grandma was born in Gdansk, Poland in 1925. She got her naturalization certificate for the US in 1955. She passed away when I was 5. Is there a chance I would be able to get citizenship by decent? If so how would I go about it? I haven't been able to find her birth certificate but I have found a few other papers with her name.

I’m very interested in pursuing Polish citizenship for my kids. Their Jewish great great grandparents lived in Kolomyia and left in 1931. My understanding is that Kolomyia was part of Poland when they lived there so I’m curious if there is any issues since it is now part of Ukraine?

yes really
