What do I need to know before retiring in Poland?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Poland, they said...
"Have a very open mind, then make the move and be prepared for the village life. It may not be easy, however, it's very rewarding and beautiful," remarked another expat in Siemiechow, Poland.
"Before retiring in Poland, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken. It is also important to research the cost of living in the area they plan to retire in, as prices can vary significantly from city to city. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system in Poland and make sure they have adequate health insurance coverage. Finally, expats should also research the tax laws in Poland to ensure they are compliant with all regulations," said a member in Poland.
