Hi all,

I am an English guy who is emigrating to Lodz. I would love to get in contact with anybody in that city 🙂

Also, it would be great if anyone can point out any list/material of things that need to done when first moving to Poland e.g. PESEL, residence registration, health system registration etc 👍

I did read through the Moving to Poland guide, but this does not seem to be covered.

Many thanks for any assistance,

Kind regards,

Steve

Hey, Steve, have you read the Living in Poland from the UK Gov website?

Hope this may help

Hi @SimCityAT

I have read it now 🙂 Many thanks 👍

Seems that Polish NFZ contrib is 9% of a reference median salary, about 800 zl per month taken out of my pension income. When I become a UK state pensioner I can apply to UK for form S1 and stop paying NFZ contrib. Better get familiar with my Polish GP - I am paying for it
