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

I have written to most major banks, and for future reference thats the conclusion:

Most banks will accept accounts by foreigners, even without Polish residence, but it is no longer possible to open such accounts online.

That sounds right, thx.

Your answers are simply not correct, i could walk into almost any bank and have an account within 20min:

Tried Alior already:

Thats why they have "Konto oszczednosciowe" and "lakaty", right?

The question is not if one is able to have an account as a foreigner without residence, but where its possible to open such an account online.

Stop spamming if you dont have anything useful to add.

Poland has better rates than Germany and im hoping to gain on the PLN/€ exchange rate.

Cause they want my money?

And who said i dont have and ID, address etc..?
I have all that, but not in Poland.

Reason im asking is, i have done this a few years ago and it was no problem to do it online, but nowadays found no option.

Maybe some Poles living abroad would be more inclined to help...

Merged:Bank account for foreigners

Hi
I would like to open an online bank account in Poland, but all banks i tried require a PESEL and/or Polish ID.
Is it possible to open an account in Poland as a foreigner without visiting a branch in Poland?
Cheers

Law / Working in EU countries and in UK with Poland's Residence Card (Karta Pobytu)? [51]


Make sure they pay you to a foreign currency account(konto walutowe) or you will be ripped off on the exchange rate by your bank big time.

Maybe this has changed but a few years ago all banks i tried wanted horrendous amounts for exchanging money.

Law / Where to register a .PL domain name? [33]


maybe not for serp but def for seo. ;)
with the same content, age and links a .pl will get u higher than a net.pl as it is top level opposed to second level.

however if u are really just catering to the polish market a net.pl might get you further than a .net(or even .com).

it really depends on your business.

Law / Where to register a .PL domain name? [33]

Well, i guess it wont matter as much as content and registration time, but id always go for first level:
dobrekawy.pl
smacznakawa.pl
etc...

How about .com?

First level domains are always favored by search engines.

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

I definitely need the stuff you are smoking.



"The Mongol Empire invaded Kievan Rus' in the 13th century, destroying numerous cities including Ryazan, Kolomna, Moscow, Vladimir and Kiev.

This campaign was heralded by the Battle of the Kalka River (1223) which resulted in a Mongol victory over forces of several Rus' principalities. Nevertheless, the Mongols retreated. Batu Khan's full-scale invasion of Rus' occurred from 1237 to 1240; the campaign was ended by a Mongol succession crisis. All Russian states had to submit to Mongol rule and became part of the Golden Horde empire; some of it lasted until 1480."

Yeah, you showed them. :D


This just cracked me up.

Genealogy / Why Polish aren't white?? [272]

Again:

"By the 1880s a number of linguists and anthropologists argued that the "Aryans" themselves had originated somewhere in northern Europe. A specific region began to crystallize when the linguist Karl Penka (Die Herkunft der Arier. Neue Beiträge zur historischen Anthropologie der europäischen Völker, 1886) popularized the idea that the "Aryans" had emerged in Scandinavia, and could be identified by the distinctive Nordic characteristics of blond hair and blue eyes."

"This "Nordic race" theory gained traction following the publication of Charles Morris's The Aryan Race (1888), which argued that the "original Aryans" could be identified by their blond hair and other Nordic features, such as dolichocephaly (long skull)."

Good bye and goodnight my learning-disabled friend.

Who's disclaiming that?

The only person claiming the Nordic look of Aryans is a myth created by the evil allies are you and i have already provided you with your beloved lnks/quotes that disprove that.

Have you even read the book???

The concept of an Aryan race(or Herrenrasse) is predominant in it and according to this the blond/blue eyed ideal is very much a part of it:

"By the 1880s a number of linguists and anthropologists argued that the "Aryans" themselves had originated somewhere in northern Europe. A specific region began to crystallize when the linguist Karl Penka (Die Herkunft der Arier.

Of course it is, actually it's one of the main concepts of the book and not only a side note.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

No matter who is behind that, it should be forbidden and handled like the Reinheitsgebot in Germany, wherein only water, barley and hops is allowed in beer.
