I'm an American going to Denmark on a tourist visa. I really want to do a few hours of volunteer work per day in exchange for room and board, for the cultural exchange benefits.  The problems:   The Denmark visa website classifies volunteer work as "work" needing a work visa. Volunteer visas are only available if you are under 30 years of age, and I'm over the age limit.   EDIT: I've been trying to figure out if and how I can legally do this, and if such a short-term casual position really qualifies as a problem. If anyone knows of any way to ensure that I'm in the clear, please share. Is this going to get me in trouble?

I'm currently working in Canada as a Canadian citizen and planning on travelling to a few places in Europe for six weeks.  I am also going to continue working remotely full time.  Is there any legal problems with this that I should know about?   Do I need to apply for a visa or is six weeks a small enough time that it's not necessary?  The countries I'm planning on visiting are:  Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Germany.  Though I might cut one or two of these to simplify things a bit

I have a UK Refugee passport. Do I need a visa to go to France?   I want to go for two days with my husband, but I'm not quite sure if I can go without a visa.

I'm a British Citizen. I've spoken at business conferences in the past in the US, but haven't been paid for speaking. This is acceptable under the Visa Waiver Program.  Let's say that one day I am offered the opportunity to be paid a fee for speaking, over and above the incidental costs of travel/hotel.  A B-1 business visa doesn't cover it, it appears. So what is actually required?  On reading up about this, it's fine to be paid US$8,000 for speaking  from a VWP country; I'm a bit confused by the outcome of this story.

I am planning on booking a ticket to Singapore to visit universal studio's and obtain another 60 days tourist visa there.  Will they give out the 60 days tourist visa if I already have a 60 days tourist visa from a couple days back?

I would like to travel to France before the starting date of my long sejour visa. I thought it will be no problem since I can travel to the Schengen only with my passport without asking any permission for three months as tourist, but now I was told I have to enter France exactly the date that my long sejour visa says. Is it true?  I have read  but I am not sure I found the answer.  Note: I have been calling the French consulate in my country since last Thursday but no one is answering the phone. I suppose they are  in holidays, but my flight is very soon so I have to know what to do as soon as possible.

I'm on a New Zealand passport.  From most US Embassy webpages:     The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of certain countries,   including Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K., to travel to the   United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less   without obtaining a visa, if certain requirements are met. Under the   VWP, time spent in Canada, Mexico, and adjacent islands counts towards   the maximum of 90 days stay allowed under the program.   I'll be there on a 1-year working holiday visa starting when I arrive in Vancouver. I'm spending 3 days in Hawaii en route to Vancouver. This seems to imply that 90 days after landing in Hawaii, my time will be up and I won't be able to get back into the US, as my living in Canada will not reset the clock. What if after this time I want to say, pop across the border to Seattle? How can I restart the 90 days, without having to resort to say, flying to Japan and back just to reset it?

I have searched the web a lot and could not find an answer that fits my situation. Here are two links that are quite contradictory:       My situation:  I've visited Portugal in December 2012 for 29 days on a Schengen visa valid from December 1st, 2012 to February 1st, 2013 for research purposes (I am a Ph.D. student). I want to visit Sweden from February 10th, 2013 to May 10th, 2013 (89 days). I have applied for a Schengen visa again (for research). How will the 90/180 rule work in my situation?

I am considering whether there is any paperwork I should be collecting for future tourist visa applications.   I am a British Citizen, US Permanent Resident, and my recent travel outside the US and EU has been group tours and cruises. I have been treated as having low risk of overstay etc. However, bureaucracy happens, and I want to be prepared.  The potential problem is that I am retired. No job, no school. A lot of visa granting seems to depend on jobs to prove monthly income and intent to return home.  I transfer a fixed allowance from an investment account to my checking account each month, and treat that as though it were my income. The investment account can go up and down in value quite dramatically over periods of months, because it contains stocks and bonds as well as cash equivalents.  I have no family in the US. I do have a house I like, and consider my home.  Is there any paperwork should I be collecting to maximize my chances of getting any tourist visas I might want in the future? Possible non-EU countries include Russia, Mongolia, and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. EU may become an issue, depending on the terms of the Brexit divorce.  =======================================================================  I agree with the comments that I am likely to get most visas with no problem. That has been my practical experience. The question is what I should do to guard against exceptions, such as an excessively bureaucratic process requiring me to prove intent to return home.

I have a summer internship offer from Germany. It'd be a summer internship of six weeks in Munich, unpaid but I am willing to bear all expenses (accommodation, travel etc).  Can I do that on a 'normal' Schengen visa or would I require a work visa?  I read that a work visa is usually required when the stay is for longer than 90 days, but for six weeks which particular visa is required?

Recently I learnt that  has  to its visitors (citizens of any country) and free to enter if they hold a passport or EU national identity card.   Are there any other country(ies) which have similar no visa restrictions for its visitors irrespective of citizenship?   PS: Though Andorra has not restrictions, one needs to have a multiple-entry Schengen visa, as it's a land-locked country and only be accessed via Spain or France.

I am planning to travel to visit my friends in Amsterdam on April 2nd week ( I just got a holiday confirmed ) and also go to Munich and Barcelona for 10 days. I would be in Amsterdam for 6 days, 2 days in Barcelona and 2 days in Munich. There are no appointment dates available for either the Spanish consulate or the Netherlands consulate at San Fransisco until mid May. Can I apply the Schengan visa at the German consulate? Any other option which might enable me to go in mid April? Any ideas/suggestions are welcome. I can slightly modify my travel plans. I am an Indian citizen living in USA on a H1B visa.

I arrived in South Africa from Australia at the end of october, so I have 3 months in the country, but in december I left the country for a month and recently re-entered thinking I would get another 3 months. But they didn't give me the extra 3 months because they said I had to return to South Africa, so they only gave me the stamp for 3 more weeks, counting the 3 months from when I first entered.  Does anyone know if this is a new rule that you have to go back to where you came from? Because I thought I would get another 3 months as that is what happened with most people I know that didn't get a visa, and now it is too late to get a visa or an extension, does anyone know what will happen to me if I don't leave in 3 weeks and keep my original ticket which was 3 months?

I am a non-European living in Italy. Currently, my permesso di soggiorno has expired and I have applied for a new one. However, I need to go to another Schengen country for a job meeting before I get my permesso di soggiorno. Do you think if it is possible for me to get a temporary permit to travel in Schengen area from the Questura office in my city if I supply my claim with proper documentation?  Thanks for the help.

I have some travel plans to go from Netherlands to France by car. I possess Dutch residence permit, but I am non-EU citizen. The problem is that I might need to submit my passport to get visa to another country I plan to go to later. So I have: residence permit and photocopy of my passport. Is it    legal to cross borders by car with this set of documents what are possible fines and other repercussions if police or other authorities ask for my documents in France or Belgium?

Let's say I already have a tourist Schengen visa which will be valid at the time of the conference, so getting another visa is not exactly desirable. I plan to pay for the conference myself and the subject of the conference is connected to my job only indirectly. However since my activity in the country could not be exactly described as a tourism, I'm curious is it really fine?  Also to expand questions further, by quick googling I couldn't find what are exact regulations of what you can and can not do with certain type of Schengen visa (most of my findings are about the requirements of getting the visa), so some useful links would be appreciated.
