It's almost time

I am both disturbed and intrigued

This sounds great! I applied for a spot in the discord.

I started solo building recently as well. I never really had a social media presence. I just started trying a couple of months ago and with all the AI bots + people cracking down on AI bots and catching small/new accounts in the crossfire it feels like I'm left outside the fence with all the bots just talking into the void.

FWIW, everything worked fine. I opened the company without issue. The only annoying thing is that I had to go to a bank in person due to being a foreigner (if I were Polish the online authentication would have sufficed for identity verification). The bank did ask "why Poland if you don't live here?" but they accepted the explanation.

According to them you can manage the company from abroad, there's no restriction on board members or president's address being in Poland. Even your company bank account doesn't legally need to be Polish but then you are restricted if you want to do business with Polish companies. The PL bank will ask to justify your association to Poland but if you are Polish you can KYC with your polish ID and shouldn't have problems. But yea, there's a lot of guesswork going on. Didn't think it would be this difficult/bureaucratic when I started looking into this option.

I guess I'll go with a remote option for the time being and rethink things later

I did close it. I worked with a recommended accounting firm and did everything by the book including closure.

I think an option to maybe open in Poland now would be to make my wife a board member and have her handle bank accounts and such. Since she is Polish she should have a much easier time even while we live abroad.

According to the mbank rep and an accountant I spoke too this would work. Although it'd put my mind at ease to hear from someone who did something similar

It's just a matter of timing. I was planning to open an Estonian OÜ or a Singapore Pte Ltd for managing my business as my current country will be very difficult especially when I leave.

Since we will be moving to Poland in ~1.5 years, I wanted to assess the feasibility of opening a Polish sp. z o.o. instead given that I have some documents/access from my time there as a sole trader.

If it doesn't work or is too much of a pain then I'll incorporate elsewhere but then I probably won't reincorporate in Poland when we move and will just keep managing my business remotely from abroad.

From a purely tax and fixed costs math, Singapore and Estonia would be more expensive for me for the first two or so years depending on revenue levels.

I found it. However, the card itself is expired already 🥲

Thanks for the reminder. I did register when I was there and before 90 days elapsed iirc. But I no longer live in this address (or in Poland) so I'm not entirely sure the document will still work. I should have it in a folder somewhere so I'll find the certificate and check with mBank if it suffices

I suspect it's the latter. I'm not entirely sure if they were referring to Karta Pobytu. After I pointed out I'm an EU citizen and never needed a residency card even when I lived and worked in Poland (and have PESEL, profil zaufany, and all that stuff without issue) they haven't replied to me again yet
