Residence permit (karta pobytu)

Definition

A document confirming a foreigner's right to stay in Poland.

What it means in practice

For people from outside the EU, a residence permit (alongside a passport) can be a document accepted in onboarding and proof of legal stay and address.

Why it affects your choice

Which documents a product accepts decides whether you can open it. EU citizens usually use an EU ID/passport; people from outside the EU use a passport and a residence permit.

Watch out

The list of accepted documents is sometimes unpublished and changeable. Confirm your set of documents with the provider before opening an account.
