Subcarpathian Voivodeship capital in southeastern Poland — anchored by the "Aviation Valley" cluster (Pratt & Whitney, Lockheed Martin, MTU Aero Engines all have facilities) and proximity to the Ukrainian border (90min east). The Rynek (main square) and the Old Town are the small walkable medieval core. Poland's residence permit for self-employed is the long-stay route. Schengen. The structural draws are aviation-industry employment density, deep sub-Warsaw pricing, and Carpathian-mountain access (Bieszczady National Park 90min south).

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
