Can I work in Europe as a foreigner holding a visit visa?
capbarer asked:
Hi guys,
I am from Malaysia, I plan to travel from London and visit Europe by train. Our currency in Malaysia is 6 time smaller then euro. So i need to work if I am to travel in Europe, can anybody help me with my question? I’ll be holding a visit visa, but would it allow me to work and travel as I visit from one town to an other?

No, you need to get a work permit.
No. Visitors to Europe are not allowed to work on a visit visa. Most likely you’ll be holding a Schengen visa valid for 15 European countries. The visa will bear the restriction that employment of any sort and study is prohibited. Violation of the visa rules means you can be jailed, fined and deported. You can also be banned permanently from entering those European countries.
check it out if you can get working tourist visa. If you have normal tourist visa then i think you cannt work. Spartan
For most european countries you will need a (temp) work permit.
I`d compile a list of countries you intend to visit, and check with their embassies for the requirements.
I know that in Holland / The Netherlands you will need a temp. work permit – and jobs are not easy to come by. What you also could try is ask if there are people in the countries you want to visit , that are willing to help you out a bit (lodging, showing you around etc.)
Have fun on your trip.
No, you need to get a work permit or work visa and in order to do this, you must get someone to sponsor you (like an employer) to say they have employed you. Once you get a visa for an EU country, it is easy for you to travel in the EU. I’m not sure how legal it is to work in a different country within the EU than the one for which you’re holding your visa, I’m just saying you won’t get hassled by customs and immigration (except for the U.K, they’re quite strict about foreigners working without a work permit specifically for the UK).
normally you can’t ….
