Poland

I’m taking a quick break in Miami to see friends and family before heading down south again to dive head first into a large, complicated, and very exciting business dealing… so next week I will be writing to you from Panama once again.

While I am in Panama I plan on putting the finishing touches on the Black Paper that I have mentioned before– this will be a “who’s who” list of banks, brokers, lawyers, agents, developers, etc. that I trust and have done business with in the past, as well as names of crooks who are dishonest in their dealings.

I’m working on this as fast as I can and will let you know when I have it ready to go. I plan on a limited release and may do a pre-reservation, so let me know if you’re interested.

Travel mishaps occur from time to time… though the airline completely losing my reservation is a new one for me.

I was all set to leave Europe a few days ago when a rather unfortunate ‘booking oversight’ derailed my plans for spending the weekend in New York City.  In this case, I was ’stuck’ in Poland.

Not to worry– I realized at the airport that, despite having spent over a week here in the past month, I’ve hardly mentioned a word about Poland… so I decided to make the most of my extra time and dig around for some useful information to share.

Poland– it’s a beautiful, inexpensive country with a stable economy, gorgeous women, and fantastic food… so what am I doing here exactly?

Looking for citizenship.

The country has been dominated, broken apart, and put back together so many times, Poland actually has multiple nationality laws on the books for former migrants, refugees, and their descendants to reclaim citizenship.  The government recognizes that many Poles were coerced to give up their citizenship, or they fled the country as a victim of circumstance.

The 1962 Nationality Law unequivocally states that citizenship cannot be lost involuntarily… so the government carries on as if millions of Poles between 1920 and 1958 had never left and their progeny had been born as natural citizens of the country.

It’s a fairly straight-forward process, but you have to prove your roots. Notice, I did not say ‘easy’.  Just because your grandfather was Polish or your last name ends in ’ski’ does not mean you will automatically be confirmed.
