Dear Polish residents,
This coming spring of 2017 I am planning to move to Poland with my wife (no kids so far). I am going to open a company in Poland and manage it. I have already looked through many threads on this forum to get as much info as possible but I still would greatly appreciate anyone's input to help me understand what to expect.
Here are matters are need your help with:
Company registration. I need legal help in a company registration and getting me a work permit, visa, residence permit and/or anything else I will needed to be my company's director. I myself am a lawyer experienced in all similar matters but in Ukraine. Even though personal experience is valuable, I know that it may vary so I would prefer to discuss this matter with a local lawyer specialized in these matters. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated.
City to move in. If my company's business goes well, I will need to hire personnel. Mostly I will need young people (20-30 years old), speaking English (other languages are a plus), legal background is a plus. I mean that it would be good to relocate to a city that has universities, institutes, etc. At the same time I do not quite want to live in a large city like Warsaw. I would prefer a quiet city or town with as less traffic and turmoil of life as possible and with as much of clear ecology as possible. I have a car that I am going to bring with me to Poland so I can afford living a few kilometers away from the city. I understand that I want too much… I am just trying to explain you my dream home town to be able to select those that at least somehow match my dream. I understand that my dream and reality may be very different. The priority has to be ease of doing business.
Income. I will be moving with my wife. She is a professional make-up artist so I guess/hope she will be able to earn some money relatively soon. However, I do not plan to rely on my wife's earnings. I read on this forum that a decent monthly income for one person should be PLN 5000.00 net. Expenses understanding is very important as I consider also the Baltic countries for settling down. So I need to have an insight of how much I will spend monthly. I understand that this is very relative and personal. So I am interested in your personal experience in this matter.
Thank you in advance for reading my long post and for any information you will provide!
