Travel / Camping in Poland - are there any laws? [47]

Well thankyou kindly for the replies..........

Perhaps then i should seek to pitch my tent on designated sites only.
However i am used to pitching my tent just before dark in forests and moving on at first light.........i cant really see the harm in that but i have to respect the law.I expect the consequences would be rather harsh too.

Thankyou.

Camping in Poland outside of the designed sites is forbidden but of course if somebody catches you... That somebody means forest ranger (which can end with a ticket)

By that you mean a payable fine Lukasz............how much?

Perhaps i could trek along the Baltic coast then,i imagine there must be legal campsites along the way,such as in Soport,Mielno etc etc.

But i thank you.

You have been very helpful Lukasz thankyou.
Perhaps now i will walk the coast,pitch the tent on the beach and maybe use a few camping sites so i can use the facilities.

If i have no problems.........i might consider a little wild camping in the forests and take my chances.
Thankyou anyway.

Anyone else had any experiences of wild camping here,or any others into wild camping/hiking who would'nt mind me tagging along.......let me know.

Regards.

Law / Polish Bank account? UK resident applying for permanent residency in Poland. [5]

Hi everyone,

i have been living in Poland for a while and will be applying for permanent residency.
I have read through the threads on here and it seems even now i would be able to open a bank account here with my passport and letter of tenancy.

I am still 'officially' a UK resident and have a Uk bank account at my parents address.

So i'm wondering whether it would be wise to open a bank account here in Poland and transfer my money from the Uk.I guess the transfer would cost approx £25,and then close the Uk bank account.Surely with the tax/interest i cannot be allowed to have a bank account in each country? I guess when i have permanent residency in Poland,i obviously will no longer be a Uk resident and therefore will not be able to legally keep that account.

I just need advise on the safest way to keep a large amount of money without seemingly breaking any laws.

Thanks in advance.
