    Hi All.

    I searched the forums, but could not find an answer for this. Here is my situation.

    My wife and I moved to Warsaw in April from the US.
    We have been married ten years.
    She has Polish and American citizenship.
    I have American citizenship.

    I have a Karta Pobytu, (temporary residence) good for one year.
    I have a PESEL. I have a NIP. I have a meldunek.
    Do I still need a work permit, or am I eligible to work now?

    I have one offer to teach English as a native speaker, but this school thinks I still need a work permit.

    Another school says I can work immediately under an Umowa O Dziel agreement where they withhold taxes, but not ZUS from my pay. This seems like the best option for me.

    So, do I need a work permit, or not?

    I see different answers to this question online, so thought someone here could give me the final word.

    Thanks!

    Nope, you don't need any work permit or any sort of permission.
    You can start working right away. Even though the HR of place where you apply for work might ask for your marriage certificate. Thats all.

    Good luck
