Consolidated Line of Sponsorship (CLOS)
Twelve Eastern European Amway markets: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine, are combined into a Consolidated Line of Sponsorship (CLOS) Region. This will allow all current and new ABOs and Members Plus to personally sponsor within and into each of these countries. Option of international sponsoring between the countries within CLOS Region is discontinued. (All businesses established before CLOS will continue to count according to international sponsoring rules.) International sponsoring from outside the CLOS Region continues to be available. If an ABO has no business in any of the countries that make up the CLOS Region, he will be allowed to establish one new business in the CLOS Region. An ABO or Member Plus who already has at least one business in the CLOS region will not be allowed to establish another one.

Establish a Second Business
International Sponsoring
International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.
If you have an Amway business in any of Eastern European CLOS countries you will use this Amway number for Sponsoring purposes (see Overview section for details).
Amway Poland offers two different statuses for foreigners who do not have an Amway number in any CLOS country:
Member Plus
Available for all Estonian Citizens and foreigners who are citizens of all countries where Amway has opened an official office/or foreigners with residence permit in Estonia. No other legal requirements. Member Plus have a right to purchase products for own use and may sponsor new Members Plus. No bonus or retail profit is received. For details, please contact Amway Poland.

Registration of business, a local address and a local bank account are required. No purchase limits, full right to obtain bonuses.
