Hello all,

I am about to relocate later this year to Białystok long term.
I do not know anyone there, are there any other UK citizens or other non Polish people there?
I would like to make friends with local people as well.
How much are single person flats?
Supermarkets, especially selling UK produce?

Thanks to all replies.

Polish people can be good society too. No chance to find many UK products, I am afraid. Food is varied and correct here. Even French supermarkets hardly sell more than a few token imported cheeses in Warsaw. What will you miss? Jelly? Porridge? Try kasza instead.

I like cheese (ser).
What W European supermarkets are there in Białystok?
I work in the UK NHS, know a lot of Polish people.

European supermarkets sell mostly Polish food. Even Tesco. When I mean "mostly" , I mean +/- 90%. And most of the rest is oranges from Spain and wine from many places.

Have a look for yourself https://tesco.pl

But why look for foreign food Enjoy your new country and their food.

TESCO? Not sure in Bialystok. It should be indicated on the net. I know one in Warsaw. Mostly Polish food, I think. Although I am French, I don't eat any imported stuff. Good quality ham at less than 8 Euros a kilo and cheese cake for 50 cents in Warsaw...

Some people would take their own potatoes or tap water abroad. I don't miss much my national products in Poland. If I was a Brit, I would be more than happy not to find them at all here.

Good morning,

When renting a flat, in the Polish contract by the estate agent, do I have to give my UK address?

Thanks

Hello again,

I would like to know if I buy one of these:

amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-M7000-Portable-Unlocked-Management/dp/B089ZFZK5L/ref=sr_1_4?crid=23EB4DJSINF53&keywords=tp-link%2B4g%2Blte%2Btravel%2Bmobile%2Bmi-fi%2Bhotspot&qid=1654269566&sprefix=TP-Link%2B4G%2BLTE%2BTravel%2BMobile%2B%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-4&th=1

I am interested in getting a Polish data sim card that I can then pre-pay to get a fixed amount of data to use on the go. Say, I pay for 50 GB of data. This I can use until the 50GB is gone, then I re-pay for another 50GB of data.

Is this possible?

If it is, then how much is the cost?
