I may be relocating to Warsaw for business reasons, possibly by the end of the year. I have been in contact with some financial and legal companies in Warsaw to come up with a budget for opening a representative office there. Now I am trying to figure out what my personal expenses will be. I have contacted some property management companies about apartments and looked at some private schools for my daughter. I am also trying to get a quote for medical insurance, does anybody know an approximate cost for this? How about car leasing and car insurance? Are there any other major expenses I am forgetting about? Besides payroll tax are there any other major tax bills that are levied by the government? I do know about the residency and work permits that are required. Thank you.
Living costs in Warsaw
I am from New York City and teaching Business English in Warsaw.
I want to have my own for the fall so I am just currently registering my English school. I learned that once you registered your business, you will pay around zl300/month towards medical insurance.
I have contacted an accountant about these. If you want I can refer you to this guy, he is good. I have not known him before, just active searching and just got lucky since he turns out to be a very nice, knowledgeable and very helpful one.
I believe that he can answer all your questions especially cost of living and finances involved while living in Warsaw.
Are you in Warsaw yet?
Hi
I'll be in Warsaw in 2 wks time - plan to be there for a year. Need to share a flat (single room) with like-minded english-speaking person(s) young at heart. I'm a non-smoker!
Hi Anji! (you are a bit off topic here) I suggest you to view the Warsaw classifieds > accommodation section and post an ad there. It might help you. 
Good luck

Hi Jzackpe2000 and others,
Congratulations on your ambitious plans. How is it going?
I'm keeping a blog for a real estate agency based in Central Europe. Here is a list of articles we've posted on Warsaw including schools, maps and other resources for expats:

Perhaps I could prepare a posting on these topics (health insurance, etc.). Good luck !

Any opinions from you all are welcome. Of course, i need to find a location for the shop that will get local as well as tourist traffic and a place that will POP!@! I was thinking Old Town?
