MOVE TO POLAND

Moving to Poland

Poland offers expats an exciting mix of a dynamic economy, historic cities, and relatively low living costs. Major cities such as Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, and Gdansk attract international professionals, students, and families. Warsaw stands out as a modern financial and business hub with a vibrant start-up scene, while Krakow impresses with its UNESCO-listed Old Town and numerous international companies as a cultural and knowledge hub. Smaller cities and regions, such as the Masurian Lakes or the Tatra Mountains in the south, provide high quality of life and diverse leisure opportunities.

Living costs are significantly lower than in Switzerland or Germany, especially for housing and everyday expenses. At the same time, Poland offers good infrastructure, a solid education system, and a growing healthcare sector with differences between public and private care. Further information can be found at InterNations or in the expat guides on Expat.com.
