Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]

Use an Fx company like currencies direct, their spreads are relatively tight, for large amounts less than 5bps. The other main one I can think of is XE.com, but I seem to recall they charge fees or have wider spreads (can't remember exactly, but I remember deciding they weren't as good as Currencies Direct for some reason).

A second vote for Millenium Bank, was fairly quick to open, obviously needed ID, proof of address etc, but our UK address was fine. No PESEL or domestic ID required! Fees are approx. 5zl +7zl per month and we've never been charged more than that (its less if you use your debit card and withdraw domestically, but as we're not over every month we still incur charges some months).

Language / What computer keyboards are in use in Poland? [34]

Out of curiosity what keyboards (computer not the musical type) do people use in Poland and where can you buy them from?

This isn't for business, its simply to make typing easier for me without having to use multiple keystrokes or continually copy/pasting when doing my homework or using Rosetta Stone :-)

I found some old threads on the subject, but nothing recent, so I was wondering if there have been any new developments!

As its not for an office, it wouldn't have to be a standard layout (if such a thing exists), just something physical (i.e. not a virtual keyboard) that removes the need for multiple keystrokes!

That's interesting, I would have assumed there was a 'Polish Keyboard' as it massively slows down typing when using multiple keystrokes!

I guess you can assign macros to some keys with some keyboards, so maybe I'll try getting one of those instead!

Amazon seems to have a few in stock.

Yeah I saw this, the pictures aren't that clear, I was wondering if they were genuine (its rare but occasionally even Amazon makes mistakes)!
