Our founder a Polish girl, living herself in several foreign countries, realized the need for an internet guide explaining the simplest things.
The story began when Ilona, has just moved to Stockholm. Not knowing the Swedish language, nor the local customs, she simply fell into some traps. During one of the first days got parking tickets for 1800 SEK (around 200EUR) as without knowing the language it’s impossible to know that P-skiva parking sign, means you need to place a clock in your windscreen. Nor did she know the Swedish custom of planning well in advance, when trying to book a spa a couple of days before, understood it’s going to take more than a month to get an appointment.
It wasn’t until then, that during one of her business trips to her hometown Warsaw, she realized her friend soon-to-be expat in Warsaw, would face exactly the same problems. Because not every expat speak Polish before the move, nor do they know that driving in Warsaw can be a life-threatening adventure, not to mention the Polish bureaucracy!
And so the Expats Guide has been born.
It is thought to be the first truly local professional service for all expatriates living and working in Warsaw. Our mission is to provide all relevant information required during relocation and living in Poland and create a platform for socializing and finding professional service providers.
Soon after, we have started our Relocation Service for those expats, who want to have their transition to Warsaw as smooth as possible and delegate all the required paperwork, house hunting and schools search to professionals.
