Pros of moving to Europe

• Poland is a member of the European Union, which grants holders of Polish residency or citizenship significant privileges: free education at Polish universities; high wages; and the ability to purchase real estate at affordable prices—for example, you can buy a one-room apartment in Warsaw for just 45,000 euros. Additionally, Polish citizens can easily migrate to any EU country.

• After living in Poland for 5 years, you can apply for permanent residency, and after another year, for citizenship.

• Low levels of crime and corruption.

• The availability of specialized institutions that provide social support to immigrants, such as the Orthodox Center of Mercy and legal mediation societies. There is also a Russian-speaking diaspora in Poland.

• A welcoming attitude toward foreign visitors.

• Polish stores offer relatively inexpensive, delicious, and high-quality food products.

• Government support is available for low-income families and single mothers.

• Immigration to Poland through education is quite straightforward and is a great way to move to the country.

• Despite the global crisis, Poland's economy is growing slowly but surely.

• The political situation in the country is stable.

• The possibility of easy immigration for people with Polish roots.

• Transparent conditions for doing business. There is no pressure from the state as long as you operate within the law.

• An excellently developed transport infrastructure. Public transport—buses, trams, and the metro—is well-organized and runs strictly on schedule.

• A high level of social security.

• High-quality education.

• Good, smooth roads that are a pleasure to drive on. As soon as you cross the border into Poland, the difference is quite noticeable. With clear road markings and intelligently placed signs, you can clearly understand the flow of traffic and see how drivers and pedestrians follow traffic rules.

• Convenient geographical location: the center of Europe.

• Affordable clothing prices. In Europe, all popular brands are much cheaper than in CIS countries. This is due, firstly, to lower taxes for EU countries and, secondly, to government programs that monitor product pricing. It is simply impossible for a Polish entrepreneur to set a 150% profit margin. Furthermore, the local fashion industry is well-developed, allowing the middle class to dress fashionably at a low cost.

• Language similarities. To obtain citizenship, or even just to communicate in everyday situations, you must know the language. Polish belongs to the same Slavic language group as Russian and Ukrainian, so the words are very similar and easy to understand when spoken. The only "but" is the large number of sibilant sounds, which you will simply need to get used to and learn how to pronounce.

• High social culture. If someone even accidentally brushes against you on public transport or anywhere else, you will hear a thousand apologies. Seats are immediately offered to the elderly, and women are let through first. Here, good manners are followed subconsciously, and it seems as if children are taught them from birth.

Furthermore, Poland recognizes dual citizenship, so you can obtain Polish citizenship without renouncing your previous one.

Given all of the above, it is not surprising that the number of Russians migrating to Poland is steadily growing every year.

According to experts, the Polish economy will continue to grow in the coming years, which means the country is interested in attracting foreign talent whose work will contribute to the state's economic development and improve the well-being of society.
