Poland at a glance

Salary: Language schools: 4,000 to 6,500 PLN per month. Corporate and freelance business English: 70 to 130 PLN per hour. Saving is modest, but the lifestyle and central-Europe travel are the draw.

Visa: EU and UK-settled citizens can work freely. Non-EU teachers need a work permit sponsored by an employer plus a national (type D) visa or residence card, which is harder to secure than in Asia. A degree and CELTA/TEFL are effectively required for sponsorship.
