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?

    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?
