About these cities
About Siedlce
Siedlce is a cheap, safe small city that rewards remote workers who do not need much company: a 1-bedroom in the center runs $487/mo, a monthly transport pass costs $26/mo, and the overall expat and FIRE scores both hit 81/100. The catch is the local economy, where the average monthly net salary of $1,019/mo barely covers a mid-range single life at $889/mo, so you had better arrive with outside income. Limited English and a very few expat community mean daily life leans heavily on Centrum and your own resourcefulness, and retirees in particular should look elsewhere given a 62/100 retiree score. Come for the low cost and 80/100 safety index, not for the career prospects or the social scene.
About Poland
Poland offers no retirement visa, and a digital nomad visa is not available, so long-term residency requires a separate work or business route despite a clear path to citizenship. Budget-focused expats should look past that friction: rent runs just $757.57/mo in city centers and monthly costs excluding rent sit at $812.3. High safety (71) and a large expat community make the bureaucratic tradeoff worthwhile for those prioritizing cost over ease of entry.

About Poznan
Poznan is the rare city where a single adult can live comfortably on a $1,709/mo average net salary, with a 1-bedroom outside the center at $596/mo and a monthly transport pass at just $31/mo. The cost of living index of 44/100 and a safety index of 78/100 make it a strong pick for expats who want European city life without the punishing price tag. Jeżyce and Stare Miasto give newcomers a soft landing, and the 83/100 expat score reflects a place that works as well for remote workers as it does for retirees. The tradeoff is a continental climate, an air quality index of 55, and English that is common mainly in tourist areas, so a few words of Polish go a long way.
