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

The vast majority of the border seems completely unguarded. Could you just stroll across and come back?

Hello y'all

question, if I do "NOT" require a work permit -e.g: because I graduated full time uni studies here in Poland- and I now have this Karta Pobytu with "access to labor market" remark, because I work with umowa o praca here.

can I still create a one-person business activity (or sole trader, in Polish: jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza)and have a B2B with another company ?

The online sources (specially official ones) left me with more questions than answers.

Dobry wieczór, I am a British woman with Polish roots. My grandparents were born in Poland, they fled to the UK when they were about 10 years old. Neither of them have documents to prove anything.

I would like to reverse-engineer the family tree to see where my ancestors were born. My grandmother told me that her father built a house with hisw own hands, which is supposedly still standing.

My closest family doesn't want to help me, it seems as if they are ashamed of their roots. I, however, have spent time in Poland and am in love. I have started to learn the language, too.

I would like to reconstruct my family tree. I know my grandparents' birthplaces, but after a little investigation, it turns out that there could have been at least a few places with the same name. So I don't know how I could start my investigation, can anyone suggest any way to go about this?

Thank you :)

Looking for tips on where to start. My grandfather, born in Poland, had a very common name and we aren’t certain of the original spelling. We don’t have any legal docs such as birth certificate, marriage certificate etc. A lot of information was lost due to WWII, but I’d like to gather the info I can to share with my daughter. Where should I start? Can share more info if anyone has some skills to guide me!

Heading to Gdańsk next month, and I want to buy a new psu and ram over there. Any trusted and recommended store anyone knows about?

Hi, is it possible activate and register a polish prepaid sim card while abroad for EU citizen? I mean online without visiting Poland or for example without bank account registered in Poland (I read that some banks offer this service)?

I hold a Polish passport (through my Dad’s side of the family) but I was born in New Zealand and do not speak Polish. I’m currently residing in the UK and getting married to my (same-sex) partner later this year, and I’ve realised I have no idea what to do about changing my name on my passport.

A quick google suggests that because Poland does not recognise same-sex marriage, they will not honour a same-sex marriage certificate as proof of name change.However, the fact that I can’t speak/read Polish means I’m struggling to do any research on Polish based websites.

Has anyone gone through something similar or have any advice? Thanks in advance!

but why

Hi

I'm currently taking my a-levels (Biology, Chemistry and Maths predicted ABB) and have decided I want to move back to Poland for university as it would be free for me, and I will be closer to my family. I did both polish GCSE (grade 9) and a-level (grade A) but I'm worried about what it would be like studying dentistry. I can speak Polish fluently but I have no clue on any biology or chemistry terms which students in Poland would already know having studied these subjects in liceum. Will the transition between my a-level knowledge to Polish be hard?

Are karpatorusini and górale the same ethnic group?

Hi guys! Should big dogs be kept always on leashes in public places in Poland?

How about the regulation inside an apartment complex? Should dogs wear also muzzle inside apartment complex ?

Thank you!

I am going to work in Poland for 2 weeks and need some business casual clothing. I figured it will be easiest to get clothing that will blend in over there. Is there a good shop/brand to target for women's business casual?

I've seen some good reviews about uniqlo and I've been hearing about it for some time now. But you know, it is a bit pricey (as everything now, I know) so I would like to know if the quality is actually worth the money. I'm a bit worried people just go there because of some hype.

I like clothes from second hands, but I usually don't have time and energy to go on a hunt and frankly, it's hard to find there something I actually need. Visually, clothes from uniqlo are very appealing to me because I love basic stuff and I know that I will enjoy them for a long time if they actually survive. H&m has sadly gotten so much worse recently and I just don't find it reasonable to shop there anymore, and I don't really know much about current quality of other brands. So what do you think?

Edit: I really appreciate all your responses, but I am actually asking about polish market and polish prices; great to hear that the quality in other countries is mostly satisfying though

Question for fun, as I recently argued with some friends whether this is possible in Czechia. These are Polish friends, and the conversation went to whether you can do it in Poland. They said no, but then said if I paid 2000€, yes.

So, can you bribe someone in Poland to get your driving license? Does it depend on how much you're willing to pay?

We want to study at a university in Poland and hesitant about the costs Can you give me advice on expenses as a foreign student, house rents, grocery shopping, job opportunities, university fees? It would be more realistic for me to get advice from foreign students, especially those studying at universities in Poland, and I am not alone, we are three friends. Are you friendly to foreign students in Poland? How much salary is enough for your monthly expenses as a Polish citizen and how much salary do you think will be enough for us, including the rent for three foreign students?

Hi, I tried to defend teachers in Poland, and got a hammering. Why do teachers have such a bad reputation? Pax!

Poland has a history of fighting Nazis, so I am wondering what you think of the US now that it seems to have gone fully far right.

If war were to break out, where do you think Poland would stand?

I'm asking here because I have no karma and my account is still new.

We don't have a political party that is considered truly left e.g. like Die Linke. Our Razem (the most left wing party) is more like Labour Party or SAP (they are pro women rights, LGBT, environment, workers rights, welfare state).

I'm curious what the parties like Die Linke or Vänsterpartiet have done to be considered more left than SAP or Labour. Or what is the kind of political party (that is considered truly left) that we don't have in Poland.

Hello, I am seeking online advice regarding migrating to Poland permanently. However, I am currently residing outside of Europe. I was wondering if there is an established source of legal advice online, or if there are any other means to consult with a lawyer specialized in Polish migration law. Any answers are appreciated.
