Labour migration is something common and normal for Poles nowadays. EU membership has opened the door to work in many European countries. However, we sometimes fail to remember that wherever we earn our income, Polish State Treasury will always expect us to pay what we owe it, namely the income tax.

About a recently published report: “Survey of Polish and Bulgarian migrants in the Netherlands shortly after migration” by The Netherlands Institute for Social Research (Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau – SCP) – for Na temat.pl writes Mariusz Soltanifar
How are Poles perceived in the world? Concerning Poles in Iceland, who form the largest, and also the most prominent ethnic minority in Iceland; regarding their projects that present Poland as an attractive and modern country – Mariusz Soltanifar talks to Miłosz Hodun – the co-founder of Icelandic Project: Poland.
According to the latest findings published by the The Netherlands Institute for Social Research (Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau – SCP) 70% of Polish migrants in the Netherlands completed secondary or tertiary education. Polish migrants are also often employed in the construction industry, as well as in agriculture, horticulture and the industrial sector. Also striking is the high proportion of Poles with a higher education qualification who are employed in elementary occupations; in many cases, their work in the Netherlands is far below their qualification level – reveals the report.
According to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’s statistics, there are 9.7 millions Poles in the USA, 2 millions in Germany and more than 1.5 millions in Brazil. Poles constitute large communities also in Australia, France, Canada, Great Britain, Ukraine and Belarus.
According to the latest data from the Central Statistics Office – Statistiska centralbyrån (SSB), up to 54 percent of the Polish workers who came to Norway last year completed secondary or tertiary education. This is the highest percentage among the new wave of the immigrants. Poles are followed by the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina with 44 percent and Sweden with 41 percent respectively. And this is the reason to be proud of.
I first heard this term when a friend used it to describe the barriers that prevent the career development of young Poles living and working in the UK. I agreed with this view only partially.
Polish people were welcomed in the Isle of Flowers. It was there, near Rio de Janeiro, where after a long wandering over the sea, the people, who wanted a piece of paradise just for their own, started coming to the land. Their belongings on the back, hope in the hearts, and a vision of fertile fields in minds – that is everything they had.
I never begin from the title of the article, but this time the title is the keyword. Everyone can see how Polish Sri Lanka is in their own way. For some it may be spending time on a nice island, and for others simply living in another country around the world.
