Law / UK Citizen - Getting Poland's temporary residence prior to Brexit [10]

Hey people, apologies for the delay in responding as it's been a very busy period. Thanks all for the input. I DID manage to get the residence permit.

As Arch correctly stated, they only needed to see evidence of health insurance and a relatively small amount of money in the bank.

A quick tip for anyone else reading this who is also planning to apply: Get EVERY document signed and stamped by the issuer (and translated into Polish if it's in another language).

Hope to keep chatting with you guys on the forum ;)

Law / UK Citizen - Getting Poland's temporary residence prior to Brexit [10]

Dzień dobry everyone,

First I'd like to say thanks to the regular posters here as I've been lurking this website for the last few months and gained a lot of useful info. Hopefully I can also contribute here over the coming months.

I'm currently in the process of getting my temporary residence permit in Poland so that I can live with my girlfriend. I'd appreciate any knowledgeable advice. (Mods: feel free to merge this thread if deemed necessary).

-- I'm a British Citizen so still under EU rules prior to Brexit.
-- I'm planning to apply under 'other circumstances' since I don't have a job or a company yet in Poland

Polish regulations state that I need to show medical coverage and enough funds to cover my stay.

1) I've been advised to get "PZU Wojażer" insurance to the sum 10K euro cover.
2) I can show funds totalling well above £10k pounds (50k PLN)

Will this be enough for the Polish authorities?

Also:

3) My bank (HSBC) no longer authorises letters with stamps which the Polish authorities seem to think is necessary. Will this be problem?
