Hi - I am wondering if anyone has overstayed their tourist visa while in Portugal? I am looking to go to Lisbon but I don’t meet the digital nomad visa requirements (10k in the bank, plus there’s a huge wait).
Do borders check how long you’ve stayed? Has anyone got a fine? Which countries are strict and which are not?
So you want to be an illegal immigrant then
Just like everyone else on here working on a tourist visa.
If it was passive income, it’s not an issue, right? But for some reason earning money actively while doing work for clients outside of the country is an issue. You’re not affecting the job market at all, you’re just changing how long you’re able to stay and put money into their economy.
Working remotely as a software dev or business analyst etc is not passive income. Passive income is having a million quid invested in the s&p and you living off the interest.
Tell the person who stamps your passport that you’re visiting their country with the intention of working remotely for a foreign company and see what happens.
I know you taking the piss now, but in Canada thats explicitly allowed on a tourist visa.
In the US though, yeah you getting denied entry haha.
Most of us are working on tourist visas yeah, but we’re also not staying that long, so I wouldn’t call it immigrating. Sounds like the OP wants to stay long term but merely doesn’t qualify for the DN visa (which is really just an immigrant or expat visa with a trendier name).
Obviously, but it’s a bit rich for you to criticise someone for being an illegal immigrant when you your self are currently illegally working in Thailand I presume.
u/Emotional_Deal3986 Is the law that you cannot participate in the country’s labour market with a tourist visa or that you cannot earn income while staying in a country with a tourist visa?
You’re grandstanding and I just want to make sure you know the difference?
I don’t know what grandstanding means. I’m simply pointing out hypocrisy.
