Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]
Try mBank - it's a Polish virtual bank, although nowadays they have offices, too. You should apply for "eKonto" which is just a regular account. For Poles it can be all done without a visit to the bank - the way they work is they courier you all the docs you need, you sign them, make copies of your passport, national ID card or whatever they require and send it back. That's how it works for Poles and Polish residents. I'm not sure if this will work abroad, but from my experience with mBank - if anyone can do it, they can. Another virtual bank (which I have never worked with and have no experience with) is Alior Bank with their Alior Sync account.
With respect to the virtual office - if you Google "biuro wirtualne" you will get many, many offers from various Polish cities and the pricing is far from 150USD/mo. That should be the easy part.
