Work / Can an American in Poland on a tourist visa freelance? [7]
Thanks for the responses!
As seems to happen kind of often here, I keep finding conflicting information -- some info I've found says no way, but here is what I heard from a law firm today --
Foreign nationals who are exempt from the requirement of a tourist visa (aka - US citizens) may travel to Poland and stay up to 90 days without a Business Visitor's Visa to conduct business independently or on behalf of an overseas employer. U.S. citizens must obtain a visa from the Polish Consulate if their stay will exceed 90 days.
Since my stay here is perfectly legal (plus, they never asked anything at the border the purpose of my visit to the EU), I should technically fall under this category. Regardless, I will take your advice and give the Polish consulate a call...
Thanks again:)
