Siamo una coppia internazionale e stiamo insieme da circa due anni. Visitiamo i rispettivi paesi ogni stagione, ma ogni volta che vado in Polonia devo prendermi una pausa dal lavoro e i voli sono estremamente costosi. Onestamente, l’intera situazione sta diventando difficile.
Mi piacerebbe trasferirmi in Polonia nel prossimo futuro, ma sfortunatamente non parlo correntemente l’inglese, quindi mi sento un po’ bloccato. Sono un coreano di 26 anni. Che tipo di lavori potrei realisticamente svolgere in Polonia?

maybe Korean companies need someone like you? we have some here
Korean restaurant
Learn English / Polish to at least be able to communicate… The rest is up to your skills really.
No english nor polish? That’s a tough one.
Work permit needed bro. Also Korean-only, with poor English… in Poland (where if we have some English it’s also mixed environment with Polish)? Not gonna happen (or super highly unlikely). Your best chances would probably be Korean companies operating in Poland, Korean-speaking customer support, translation-related work if your language skills are strong enough, or roles connected to Korean clients.
And honestly? Faster would be to find some remote job in Korea which allows you to work in EU (working remotely while living in Poland can still involve visa, tax if you’re here more than 6 months, and employment-law issues).
Difficult without English or Polish fluency, but depends on your education or professional background. Work culture can be pretty rough here, though maybe not as bad as Korea. Pay is getting better but still not competitive with salaries in Western Europe. I’d speak to a recruiter or look for Korean companies with offices in Poland.
Prostitution
without language it would be hard to find a good job. But if you have skills – like chef etc you can make it work
Teach Korean (but that requires second language) / Korean Restaurant / Try pro eSport xD? Even if you were mid in Korea here you’ll be star kek
Unfortunately being even fluent in English is not always enough to live there, like it’s doable but you’ll be stuck either teaching it or making marketing calls all day. So unless you’re passionate about either of those things, they can get quite stale and annoying after a while.
Learning basic Polish is also a must if you want to sort out any government paperwork or integrate a bit culturly.
Honestly, you’re best bet would be to start your own online business and sell stuff that you’re knowledgeable on. Thankfully the cost of living is pretty low in Poland, so many currencies like the Euro or USD will go a long way there.
Also ask yourself if you want to stand out for the rest of your life. The diversity rate is extremely low in Poland so if you don’t like attention, it may not the best place for you. I lived in Szczecin for 8 years and saw a grand total of 2 Asian guys, and I was exploring the city everyday and meeting people all the time.
It would be hard if you didn’t know polish, I think it’s almost impossible without polish or English. Maybe a Korean company, but I’ve heard from other Koreans in Poland that they get Korean work standards in Korean companies even here.
Food delivery maybe. You don’t have a lot of options if you don’t wanna work in a Korean company nor speak Polish/English.
In Wroclaw we have a lots of Koreans at Bielany. Most of work at local Korean shops or LG.
Your only bet is some Korean company. In Poland without polish language it’s hard to find a job. Without Polish and English it’s close to impossible.
Realistically uber/bolt driver or food delivery
You study, have summer break and do some sort of student summer job
Korean tour guide
How come you are able to maintain such a long distance relationship during 2y if you are not even able to speak English properly.
IMO your best bet is to marry your partner (unless you are same-sex couple, then uhhh), try to obtain a temporary residence permit for family members of a foreigner living in Poland, and then try to think what you can do in Poland.
That’s half of success though. Without knowing either Polish or English, you’ll either be stuck doing the worst jobs that natives don’t want to pick up (construction site, factory worker, elderly care, among others) OR you’ll have to speciallize in some craftsmanship specific to Korea – I’m leaving this up to your imagination and preference, it could be anything ranging from cooking, through korean bookbinding, and ending with woodworking
Though if I were you, I would look into closing the gap in Korea. I imagine that if you aren’t fluent in English/Polish, then instead your partner must be proficient in English and/or Korean
You can eat random polish food with kimchi and horseradish
we have some korean companies in Poland – Samsung, LG maybe more?
I know that the biggest group of Koreans in Poland lives in Wrocław.
LG Energy Solution factory is near Wrocław and around 5000 Koreans are working there. Because of that there are some Korean restaurants and other services aimed at them.
You can try that, you will work using Korean language but if Poland is your long term goal then I think that you will have to learn Polish or English at least at some point.
Open korean restaurant
Work in Korean restaurant? XD
Samsung
North Korea? You can spy.
Bolt / Uber? + Podstawowa znajomość polskiego
You can work at mcdonalds at kitchen where you don’t have to talk with customers. Also you get full employment contract where you have paid sick leave, paid holiday days and few other benefits. Sure it’s hard but that’s a good start i think.
Can you cook? Perhaps some restaurant in some no customer facing position?
People are talking here like only jobs in existence are some high level well paid Jobs like doctor, or lawyer.
If u learn some Basic english which would take you 1 month of proper grind, u could work in some factories, Warehouse, cleaning Jobs, maybe delivery, Uber. Ok they are not dream Jobs. But u want to be here for your partner on first place, not to build your career (at least for now).
There are some chains of „chinese” shops where most of the employees are asian, maybe you could find one where someone else also speaks korean and could guide you.(i know it may be hard but i guess there is still a small chance)
LG factory
What’s your education? Doesn’t matter the language, what’s your education?
Koreans are basically running automative parts production in Poland, particularly around Wrocław and Gliwice (so Lower and Upper Silesia regions). And I wouldn’t be surprised if they would hire any Korean who is crazy enough to move to Poland, as long as you have a degree in anything business or engineering related.
Pretending to be some k-pop star and charging fees for photos?
Maybe LG?
Without good english or polish it is gonna be very hard to be honest. Practice english if you want corporate job or practice polish if you want any other job. 🙂
Maybe try to hire at Samsung (or other Korean corpo) and relocate to Poland within the company.
Open a Korean restaurant
check if LG near Wrocław is hiering, tons of koreans there don’t know English or Polish and have been there for years, there’s even a korea town.
Selling Kimchi
